Toutefois, l’accord d’Edimbourg signé par les gouvernements britannique et écossais le 15 octobre 2012 pourrait avoir pour un temps mis fin au débat sur la devolution max, au moins jusqu’à ce que soient connus les résultats du référendum sur l’indépendance de 2014. La notion de devolution max date de la période où le Parti nationaliste écossais, ou Scottish National Party (SNP), forma son premier gouvernement minoritaire, en 2007, mais ce concept n’entra dans la langue politique courante qu’après la réélection du SNP en 2011 il fut ensuite au cœur des débats dans l’ensemble du Royaume-Uni pendant l’année 2012. Le premier objectif de cet article est de retracer l’origine et d’explorer la diffusion de ce concept politique au sein du Royaume-Uni. These findings suggest that an element of ‘heuristic shortcutting’ might be taking place.Cet article porte sur une notion politique britannique d’invention récente : celle de devolution max (ou devo max). Furthermore, linear regression shows that the ‘identity’ variables have a more powerful effect on perceptions of independence than DevoMax. Furthermore, although the patterns of performance assessment are unsurprising in terms of party affiliation, Labour affiliates are, on the whole, more positive about the future performance of an independent Scotland than might have been expected. However when considering national identity it can be seen that although Scottish identifiers by and large assess independence and DevoMax equally, strong British identifiers do not they are considerably less negative about DevoMax.
The paper finds that, on the whole, there is little difference between performance assessments of independence and DevoMax. Factor analysis is used to construct a latent ‘performance assessment’ variable, and this latent variable is used extensively in the analysis. This paper aims to address this by examining how well the public think an independent and a devolution max (DevoMax) Scotland will perform, looking specifically at the role of national identity and party affiliation.
