Orkney and Shetland Movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orkney and Shetland Movement was an electoral coalition formed for the 1987 UK general election. The pro-devolution Orkney Movement and Shetland Movement agreed John Goodlad as a joint candidate for the Orkney and Shetland constituency, and the Scottish National Party agreed to stand aside in favour of the coalition.
Their candidate won 3,095 votes, which represented almost 15% of the vote in the small seat, but came only fourth, behind the 3 UK-wide party candidates. Perhaps as a result, the coalition was not repeated.
