Description

What forces help to explain the voting patterns of the British electorate in recent years? The authors draw on a unique 20-year series of British election surveys, including a major survey carried out immediately after the 1983 election. They offer insights into trends affecting many areas of the political and social environment in Britain today. The questions addressed in this volume include: Has class become less important? Why is there a North/South divide? Has the electorate moved to the right? Why has the Alliance risen? Why did Labour do so badly? What are the prospects for the future?
