Description
Gavin Barwell's experience defending his ultra-marginal constituency seat during the 2015 general election was one of the most intensive campaigns in British politics. This behind-the-scenes look at campaigning at the coalface of British politics offers an unparalleled insight into what it takes to win a marginal seat.
The book answers questions about the realities of campaigning, from the impact of activists on door-to-door conversations to the psychological toll of being under constant scrutiny. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of British politics and how elections are won and lost in just 100 marginal constituencies.
