330   $aThis highly readable book is a unique, ethnographic study of devolution and Scottish politics as well as Party political activism more generally. It explores how Conservative Party activists who had opposed devolution and the movement for a Scottish Parliament during the 1990's attempted to mobilise politically following their annihilation at the 1997 General Election.
