Résumé
By pragmatically but positively engaging with European integration and by devolving power to new institutions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the 'New Labour' government elected in 1997 has firmly established the conditions for a system of 'multilevel governance' in the UK. Using survey data collected among Labour Members of Parliament, Members of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, this article explores whether these institutional developments have also been accompanied by the emergence of ideological divergences in the attitudes of Labour's elected representatives in Westminster, Edinburgh and Cardiff towards European issues.
