Affluence, Austerity and Electoral Change in Britain

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An original account of why individuals choose one party over another, and why elections are won or lost in Britain.

---

This book investigates the political economy of party support in contemporary Britain. Marshalling a wealth of survey data gathered during the worst recession since the 1930s, the authors investigate support for New Labour and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition and choices voters made in Britain's referendum on the AV ballot.
