In the United Kingdom Parliament, MPs operate at two levels, the Scottish and the K. level. Their behaviour at the level is examined through case studies which show them making demands for distinctive policies. This is evidence against the homogeneity thesis of British politics. Their behaviour at the U. K. level is examined through quantitative measures of committee activity, promotion, sponsorship of legislation, and media coverage. At this level, most MPs concentrate on securing benefits for Scotland and are not fully integrated into the U. K. political system. A minority of MPs are K. oriented and their behaviour points up the orientation of most of their colleagues
