I was wondering if any of the Brits could answer this question:

Afleitch mentioned the Scottish Episcopal Church in another thread. Anglicans are typically seen as the Tories at prayer, while non-conformists and Catholics have historically favoured the Liberals and Labour respectively.

However, in Scotland, the Anglicans are not the state church. Has this affected their voting patterns? I assume Anglicans of English origin tend to vote Tory, but what about the Scottish ones? Are they hardcore Tories, or do they tend towards other parties? I assume they don't like the SNP very much.

I'm not sure there are that many Scottish Anglicans. In one of history's great moments of irony, during the Jacobite controversy Parliament made it an act of treason for a Scot to be an Anglican.
