Abstract
This article analyses political attitudes to the union in England, Scotland and Wales after the Scottish independence referendum. Using public opinion data, we explore constitutional preferences and perceptions of national grievance, before examining the role that national identity plays in structuring preferences. Our evidence shows that considerable demand exists for nationally demarcated forms of government within the UK , although these constitutional preferences do not translate in support for policy diversity across the UK . We also find evidence that these constitutional preferences relate closely to national identity, but relate also to appeals to national interest.
