SofCover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Slight shelf wear to edges of cover. Tiny mark to edge. Crease on back cover. This book is about contemporary British political parties, what they stand for, whom they represent, how they are organised, how they compete for power and how they use such power as they…obtain. In addition to chapters on the Conservative and Labour Parties, the book has individual chapters on the Liberal, Scottish National and Welsh National Parties as well as a chapter each on the extra-parlimentary parties: the Marxist left and the National Front. The party line-up in Northern Ireland is also outlined. In sharp contrast to all the basic textbooks on British governemtn, the book starts from an understanding that Britain is no longer a two-party country. While the Labour and Conservative Parties remain very much larger than the others, the old system of two-party competition has been undermined. The author's introduction and conclusion draw out the implications this has for the British political system and investigate the character of the new multi-party system which is coming to replace this. This book makes available for the first time to students of British politics a comprehensive assessment of the new party political order in Britain and the changing relationship of Britain's new minority parties to the main parties of government. 242 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
