Description
The Modern British Party System by Paul Webb and Tim Bale provides a comprehensive overview of the changing nature of party politics in Britain today. Drawing on models of comparative politics, the authors conduct new empirical analysis to explain how the party system has evolved and the parties have adapted.
Themes covered include the nature and extent of party competition, internal party life and organizational development, varieties of party systems across the UK, and the roles played by parties within the wider political system. The book also addresses the crisis of popular legitimacy confronting the parties and assesses the scope for potential reform.
As Britain's democracy continues to function with parties at its core, public disaffection with them is at an all-time high. Reform of the system of representation and party funding is warranted, but there are unlikely to be any panaceas. This book offers a nuanced exploration of the challenges facing British politics.
