This volume is the 14th in a series of studies begun in 1945 that have authoritatively chronicled every post-war British election. The historical background, the party preparation, and the events of the campaign are recorded, together with analyses of the polls, of the press, and broadcast coverage, and of the candidates, local electioneering, and the results (the Conservatives under John Major defied the longest post-war recession to gain an unprecedented fourth term).

Includes numerous tables, as well as photographs and cartoons. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

British Politics and European Elections, 1994

Martin Westlake

This book provides an authorative, highly readable description and analysis of the background, the campaign and the results of the British general election of 1997, and outlines the consequences of Labour's victory. The dramatic events of 1992 to 1997 and their impact on the party's preparations are analyzed. Close observation of the party headquarters is used to explore each party's strategic decisions and the implementation. The battle in the constituencies and in the media is examined. The results are dissected in detail to assess how well the contestants played the hands dealt them. Illustrations and cartoons entertainingly illustrate the campaign trail and recapture the excitement of election night. 1997 saw campaigning at an altogether new level of sophistication. Direct mail, targeting, spin-doctoring and rapid rebuttal were used far more thoroughly than ever before. They may not have decided the result--but they crossed new frontiers. Elections will never be the same again in Britain.

The British General Election of 1997

The authors present an original and authoritative account of what was involved for the UK in the contests for the European Parliament. They describe the background, the preparation by the parties, the unfolding campaign (both nationally and regionally), and the results. They discuss the short-term effects and the long-term implications and explore what lay behind the unexpectedly low turnout. The European elections involved the first nationwide experiment with proportional representation and the ramifying consequences for the parties, and the rules of the political game provide a major theme.
