Fully updated and expanded, the second edition of this still compact text on British politics expertly analyses the major changes in British political life, placing them revealingly within the context of the evolution of British society from absolute monarchy to representative democracy. The author considers each of the major components of British politics in digestible chapters, such as the Monarchy and the House of Lords, the Commons, voting behaviour, parties and pressure groups, the prime minister and cabinet, devolution, local government, and foreign policy. The book covers the EU referendum and Brexit, and the December 2019 election, as well as events such as the coronavirus pandemic, and the respective travails of the increasingly split two major political parties. Of key interest to A-level students, undergraduates and those new to the study of British politics.
