| Description: | Select Guide Rating The latest book in the long-running Britain at the Polls series provides an indispensable account of the remarkable 2017 British general election. Leading experts explain why Theresa May and the Conservatives lost their majority, and analyse how the other political parties and voters responded to the 2016 Brexit referendum and ongoing austerity. -- . None past the post: Britain at the polls, 2017 tells the story of the unexpected 2017 British general election and its equally unexpected outcome: the Conservatives’ loss of their parliamentary majority. Leading experts explore the Tories’ record in government and divisions over Brexit, Labour’s shift to the left under Jeremy Corbyn, the Liberal Democrats’ failure to win over more Remain voters, the collapse in UKIP’s vote share, the SNP’s diminished appeal in Scotland and the role of gender and electoral integrity in the 2017 campaign. The book assesses the impact of all these developments and explains both why the Tories lost their majority and how Prime Minister Theresa May returned at the head of a minority Conservative government. |
