  • The Orkney and Shetland Movement was an electoral coalition formed for the 1987 general election. The pro-devolution Orkney Movement and Shetland Movement agreed on selecting , the secretary of the Shetland Fishermen's Association, as a joint candidate for the Orkney and Shetland constituency. The Scottish National Party agreed to stand aside in favour of the coalition. Their candidate won 3,095 votes, which represented 14.5% of the vote in the small seat, but came fourth, just behind the Labour Party, the best result at the time for a candidate not from one of the four main parties in Scotland. They took part in the 1989 Scottish Constitutional Convention that developed a framework for the eventual Scottish devolution in 1999. It saw as its models the Isle of Man and the Faroe Islands, an autonomous dependency of Denmark. (en)
