Description

Since the second edition of "Power Politics" in 1989, the Labour party has acheived a record five terms in government and the Liberal party is in crisis. Voter volatility has increased, minor parties and independents have proliferated and the party system appears to be in a state of flux. This book analyzes these trends and the forces behind them. It focuses on the parties and on their interrelationships, suggesting that change is likely to continue.
