Shifting electoral currents of Scottish nationalism over the past two decades have had profound effects on the structure of parliamentary party alignments and the representation of Scottish interests in the British House of Commons. During the 1970s the politicization of Scottish nationalism undercut traditional party loyalties producing an essentially four-party system based on crosscutting class and national cleavages. Although the defeat of the devolution referendum and of all but two of the Scottish nationalist MPs halted the nationalist realignment in parliament, substantial misalignment continues within the class-based; Labour and Conservative parties. This insures the continued representation of Scottish interests in Parliament while increasing the likelihood of intra-party rebellion and backbench dissent
