Explaining Labour's Landslide
Using new polling evidence, veteran pollster Robert Worcester (MORI) explains why Labour won such a massive landslide in the 1997 election and why the Conservatives suffered their worst ever electoral drubbing. A key adviser to Labour for many years, Worcester provides the ultimate analysis of Labour's victory.
Elections in Britain
Big changes in the British electoral system have been introduced since the 1997 general election, and others may be on the way. They are described and discussed by Dick Leonard, a political journalist and former MP, and Roger Mortimore, an opinion pollster, in this revised and updated edition.
Dear Lupin...
Nostalgic, witty and filled with characters and situations that people of all ages will recognise, Dear Lupin is the entire correspondence of a Father to his only son, spanning nearly 25 years. Roger Mortimer's sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, always generous letters to his son are packed with anecdotes and sharp observations, with a unique analogy for each and every scrape Charlie Mortimer got himself into. The trials and tribulations of his youth and early adulthood are received by his father with humour, understanding and a touch of resignation, making them the perfect reminder of when letters were common, but always special. A racing journalist himself, Roger Mortimer wrote for a living, yet still wrote more than 150 letters to his son as he left school, and lived in places such as South America, Africa, Weston-super-Mare and eventually London. These letters form a memoir of their relationship, and an affectionate portrait of a time gone by.
Butler's British Political Facts
This book is the most comprehensive single volume reference work available for British political facts.

It is useful to a wide range of potential readers, including students, educators, journalists, policy professionals, and anyone with an interest in politics and political history. It will be valuable to academics working in a variety of disciplines, including history and political science.
Political Communication in Britain
The 2010 General Election represented a pathbreaking contest in Political Communication. The TV debates changed forever the feel of the campaign. This book brings together key commentators, analysts and polling experts to present readers with a unique and valuable insight into the development of political communication in British Politics.
Fact-Checking Journalism and Political Argumentation
This timely book examines the role of fact-checking journalism within political policy debates, and its potential contribution to public engagement. Understanding facts not to operate in a political vacuum, the book argues for a wide remit for fact-checking journalism beyond empirically-checkable facts, to include the causal relationships and predictions that form part of wider political arguments and are central to electoral pledges. Whilst these statements cannot be proven or disproven, fact-checking can, and sometimes does, ask pertinent critical questions about the premises of those claims and arguments. The analysis centres on the three dedicated national British fact-checkers during the UK’s 2017 snap general election, including their activity and engagement on Twitter. The book also makes a close political discourse and argumentation analysis of three key issue debates in flagship reporting from Channel 4 News and the BBC.
The Candidate
Drawing on first-hand interviews with those involved in the campaign, including its most senior figures, Nunns traces the origins of Jeremy Corbyn’s remarkable ascent in British politics.
Explaining Cameron's Comeback
Explaining Cameron's Comeback uses expert analyses of hundreds of surveys and focus groups run by Ipsos MORI to make sense of the 2015 election campaign from the voters perspective: What we really thought of Cameron and Miliband; how Dave won and why Ed did not; why it made sense to go negative; and why the pundits read the polls wrong. They also show what the 2015 election result means for the next five years of British politics, from the European Referendum and Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party, to the implications for the 2020 election.
The Role of Monarchy in Modern Democracy
How much power does a monarch really have? How much autonomy do they enjoy? Who regulates the size of the royal family, their finances, the rules of succession? These are some of the questions considered in this edited collection on the monarchies of Europe. The book is written by experts from Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK. It considers the constitutional and political role of monarchy, its powers and functions, how it is defined and regulated, the laws of succession and royal finances, relations with the media, the popularity of the monarchy and why it endures. No new political theory on this topic has been developed since Bagehot wrote abou...
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
A cross-party committee of MPs warns that the rushed timetable of one of the government's flagship bills could risk restoring the public's faith in Parliament while significantly limiting scrutiny of the bill's impact. The 3rd report from the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee (HCP 437, ISBN 9780215554895) of the 2010-11 session says that for primarily political reasons, the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill links two provisions which could have been considered separately. Of particular concern to the committee is that if either House substantially amends the rules for holding the referendum on the alternative vote, the government may have to reconsider the date ...
