Context Only W & S – no funding for England / English region i.e. no data on what we know least about Problematic in terms of thinking about solidarity etc. Thus far, we have done little analysis – enough to satisfy funder in W! Simple (simplistic?) overview of key themes

Agenda 1. Multi-level voting 2. Support for ‘regionalisation’ 3. Identification with / perceived significance of various scales 4. Competencies 5. The devolution paradox 6. Territorial solidarity

Location of Policy Competences, Wales

Location of Policy Competences, Scotland

The Devolution Paradox... On the one hand, electorate supportive of devolution and want more of it. They also seem to be supportive of individual examples of policy divergence... However, on the other hand the electorate remains hostile to policy divergence (at the state level) per se.

Degree of desired policy divergence

Territorial Solidarity Note limitations of data here... Wales is poor Perceptions of Scotland mixed No data on a donor region Nonetheless, strong sense of solidarity in evidence in W & S

Perceptions of relative prosperity compared to rest of UK WALESSCOTLAND Better Worse No different DK/NA2.83.7
