Post-Thatcherism Scotland

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the story of the Scotland’s call for independence. It explores and examines the impacts of Margaret Thatcher premiership on Scotland. As a distinct nation from the UK, Scotland’s recorded history reveals significant facts about its national identity. For that, it was important to check what influences Thatcherite conservatism particularly had on the Scottish society. The present dissertation provides and overview on Scotland’s main historical events, emphasizes the era of Thatcher as well as her political vision, and refers to the effects of Thatcherism on Scottish society. The Scottish nationalism brought them a strong party and parliament that did trace devolution. Post-Thatcherism was a period that inspired the Scottish to build a government that would plan for the Scottish independence from the United Kingdom.
