ARTICLES RELATED TO Scottish independence - 1970s Revival | | | |  Scottish independence - 1970s Revival: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - 1970s RevivalIn the first 1974 United Kingdom general election Scottish voters elected seven members of the Scottish National Party to Parliament, rising to eleven in a second general election that year. This empowered the independence movement with greater leverage for the advancement of pro-independence agendas in the House of Commons where the Labour Party now led a minority government in a pact with the Liberal Party.
As it had promised, Labour put forward proposals for a Scottish Parliament as a semi—autonomous Scottish assembly to control ...

| | | | Scottish independence - 1970s Revival: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Ideology Demands for Scottish independence are based on the idea that Scotland is a nation with separate culture and identity from that of England and ought ultimately to secede from the United Kingdom and revert to the independent status as a nation-state it enjoyed before 1707.

| | | | Scottish independence - 1970s Revival: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Opposition to independence The term Unionist is used infrequently in Scottish political debate, partly because it suggests unhelpful parallels with the situation in Northern Ireland. However, there is a strong body of opinion opposed to independence and in favour of the continuation of the union with England. This has never been a homogeneous movement, but rather represents a pro-UK consensus of all the major Scottish political parties apart from the SNP. It is a movement that ranges from those in support of the UK as a unitary state governed from Westminster, to those who support varying degrees of devolution of power and/or con ...

| | | | Scottish independence - 1970s Revival: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Devolution Supporters of Scottish independence continued to hold mixed views on the Home Rule movement which included many supporters of union who wanted devolution within the framework of the United Kingdom. Some saw it as a stepping stone to independence, while others wanted to go straight for separation.
In the years of the Conservative government post 1979 the Campaign for a Scottish Assembly led from 1989 to the Scottish Constitutional Convention developing a consensus on devolution on a cross-party basis, though the Conservat ...

| | | | Scottish independence - 1970s Revival: Encyclopedia II - Scottish independence - Background The Scottish independence movement draws on a view of Scottish history to call for reinstatement of a separate sovereign state.
The History of Scotland since 1072 included a series of disputes about boundaries, and arguments as to whether the monarch of England was overlord of the Scottish rulers, who were also mostly of Norman ancestry. During the Wars of Scottish Independence (approximately 1290 - 1363) invasions led to periods of temporary English occupation of parts ...

From the mid 19th century a movement for Home Rule argued for devolution of control over Scottish affairs, but support for independence dwindled until the 1920s. The Home Rule call for a Scottish Assembly was first taken up in 1853 by a body close to the Conservative Party and soon began to receive Liberal Party backing, but it was not an immediate priority, and by the time a Scottish home rule bill was presented to the Westminster Parliament in 1913 its progres ...
