Elections and Voters in Britain

This title is a revised and extended replacement for the same author's text on "Elections and Voting Behaviour in Britain" in the same series. The book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of electoral politics today and of its evolution in the post war period. Two entirely new chapters focus on electoral reform and on the main theoretical approaches to the study of elections and voting.
