This is the definitive account of the rise, fall and future
prospects of the Liberal Democrats, the party that threatened to
break the mould of British politics but suffered electoral calamity
after entering government with the Conservatives. Retracing the Lib
Dems’ path to government and subsequent near oblivion, the book
explores the relationship between the party and the electorate in a
post-coalition, post-Brexit, post-pandemic era. It offers a deep
analysis of the electoral strategy that enabled growth and
precipitated failure, explaining how and why the party got the
coalition so wrong and plotting a potential future. Drawing on
extensive survey data and original interviews with Lib Dem
politicians and activists, the authors expertly capture the
relationship between the party and voters, revealing the
foundations of Liberal Democrat campaigning and performance in the
search for credibility and viability. The Liberal Democrats remain
contradictory: a minor party with ambitions to upset the status
quo, a party that depends on decisive leadership but relies on
grassroots activism to remain relevant. This book helps unravel
these apparent contradictions. -- .

Tobacco has become one of the most widely used and traded
commoditites on the planet. Reflecting contemporary anthropological
interest in material culture studies, Anthropology of Tobacco makes
the plant the centre of its own contentious, global story in which,
instead of a passive commodity, tobacco becomes a powerful player
in a global adventure involving people, corporations and public
health. Bringing together a range of perspectives from the social
and natural sciences as well as the arts and humanities,
Anthropology of Tobacco weaves stories together from a range of
historical, cross-cultural and literary sources and empirical
research. These combine with contemporary anthropological theories
of agency and cross-species relationships to offer fresh
perspectives on how an apparently humble plant has progressed to
world domination, and the consequences of it having done so. It
also considers what needs to happen if, as some public health
advocates would have it, we are seriously to imagine 'a world
without tobacco'. This book presents students, scholars and
practitioners in anthropology, public health and social policy with
unique and multiple perspectives on tobacco-human relations.

This fascinating book provides a comprehensive and considered
account of the nature of Liberal Democrat electoral politics in
contemporary Britain. It explores the specific challenges facing
the Liberal Democrats in their struggle for identity,
distinctiveness and, most importantly, votes, and examines the
different layers of the party, in terms of organisational
structure, strategy and representation. The book begins with an
analysis of the history of the Liberal party from the days of Lloyd
George through to the present day, before looking closely at the
party's role in contemporary British politics. It looks at the
organisation of the party, from the grassroots to the leadership,
and considers the anatomy of the Liberal Democrat vote - who votes
for the party and why. It goes on to analyse the party's continuing
search for votes and also for seats, which has led the party to
align itself closely to Labour in the early days of the first New
Labour Government, and therafter to gradually to weaken that
alignment. The book includes a number of case studies of how local
strategies were adopted in heartland and marginal seats at the 1997
and 2001 elections.The first modern, up to date analysis of the
Liberal Democrats to be written, Neither Left nor right? will be
essential reading for students of British politics and British
political parties. -- .
