No one saw it coming. No pundit, no pollster and no political leader predicted David Camerons Conservative Party would win a majority of seats in Parliament and his three main opponents would resign as party leaders. The consequences of the coalition also became clear as the Liberal Democrats fell dramatically from grace, and lost their spot as Britains third party. And despite Scotland voting NO to independence in 2014, the election result also threatens the Union, with the Scottish National Party winning all but three of the countrys seats.
In this timely edition, Richard S. Grayson analyses Britains changing political landscape, and explores the role of the media, the European Union and the UKs special relationship with the US. Thorough and incisive, British Politics: A Beginners Guide is the perfect introduction to the structure, parties and personalities of British Government today.
