M. Leith
This chapter, by Murray Stewart Leith, considers the rhetoric of the Scottish Conservative Party through the lens of party manifestos issued for Scottish, UK and European elections between 2010 and 2017. It begins with a short consideration of why Scottish Conservatism slipped from its historical high point after the Second World War, then goes on to illustrate the importance of both ideology and identity on party fortunes. The chapter then considers the importance of leadership before considering both rhetorical changes and continuities within the party. It argues that while the Scottish Conservatives clearly differentiated their Scottish discourse, they also remained wedded to wider UK Conservative Party rhetoric.
这一章由默里·斯图尔特·利斯(Murray Stewart Leith)撰写，通过2010年至2017年苏格兰、英国和欧洲选举期间发布的政党宣言，研究了苏格兰保守党的言论。本书首先简短地探讨了苏格兰保守主义为何在二战后从历史高点滑落，然后阐述了意识形态和身份对政党命运的重要性。然后，在考虑党内修辞的变化和连续性之前，这一章考虑了领导的重要性。它认为，虽然苏格兰保守党明确区分了他们的苏格兰话语，但他们也仍然坚持更广泛的英国保守党言论。

This chapter argues that since returning to power at Westminster in 2010, Conservative statecraft has broadly followed Jim Bulpitt’s ‘territorial code’ schema. However, it also suggests this has come under increasing strain, as the political and constitutional consequences of the independence referendum in Scotland and the EU referendum vote have unfolded. The chapter’s primary focus is on the Conservative Party as a state-wide actor between 2010-19. In terms of statecraft and territorial politics, it concentrates on devolution and the centre’s dealings with Scotland and specifically the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party when it was led by Ruth Davidson between 2011 and 2019.
