A History of British Elections since 1689 represents a unique
single-volume authoritative reference guide to British elections
and electoral systems from the Glorious Revolution to the present
day. The main focus is on general elections and associated
by-elections, but Chris Cook and John Stevenson also cover national
referenda, European parliament elections, municipal elections, and
elections to the Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies and the
Scottish parliament. The outcome and political significance of all
these elections are looked at in detail, but the authors also
discuss broader themes and debates in British electoral history,
for example: the evolution of the electoral system, parliamentary
reform, women's suffrage, constituency size and numbers,
elimination of corrupt practices, and other important topics. The
book also follows the fortunes not only of the major political
parties but of fringe movements of the extreme right and left.
Combining data, summary and analysis with thematic overviews and
chronological outlines, this major new reference provides a
definitive guide to the long and varied history of British
elections and is essential reading for students of British
political history.
