Elections in Scotland: United Kingdom at Devolution After almost 300 years Scotland has elected a new Parliament. With the regional elections in Scotland and Wales the United Kingdom has made an important step towards devolution of political power. In both regions voters preferred the Labour Party for its reforms in favor of regional resurrection. Nationalist parties arrived second in both assemblies, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats found themselves third and fourth. After its victory in Great Britain´s general elections in 1997, Tony Blair's governing Labour Party had accelerated reforms by two referendums for regional autonomy for both Scotland and Wales. The popular decisions in favor of the reform and now the elections of regional assemblies represent only a first step in a wider reform process that is going to change institutions in the UK. scotland • wales • england • united kingdom • elections
