Abstract
It is true that the Scottish parliament has failed to live up to public expectations. This is partly as a result of high initial hopes, a hostile media, but also a real sense of failure of the institution to make a difference to people's lives. In the most recent Scottish parliamentary election in 2003, just under 50 per cent of the electorate took the trouble to vote a decline of about 9 per cent since the first election in 1999 (Denver 2003). Quite surprisingly, however, the common response to disappointment with the parliament is to demand it be given more political power not less (McCrone 2005).
