This detailed analysis of the Scottish and Welsh Conservative Parties explains how they moved from campaigning against devolution to sitting in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. Tracing the processes of party change in both parties this study explains why the Welsh Conservatives unexpectedly embraced devolution while the Scottish Conservatives took much longer to accept that Westminster was no longer the priority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of British, Scottish and Welsh politics and anyone who is interested in the Conservative Party.
