First published in 1998, Britain Votes 6 contains a comprehensive
record of the 1997 general election based on the official returns.
For every constituency there is a complete record of candidates
party labels and voted polled together with the vote share.
Calculation of vote change is based either on the 1992 constituency
result or where boundary changes have occurred on the notional
result. Other statistics include the % majority, turnout, and
electorate. Also included is an index of candidates together with
various tables summarising the results by nation and region and
detailing rank orders of parliamentary constituencies according to
party majorities, party change in the share of the vote and other
important electoral indicators.
This title was first published in 2000: This is a reference guide
to British elections 1832-1999. It is a volume of electoral facts,
which includes material on general elections, parliamentary
by-elections, European Parliament elections, elections within the
UK, local government elections, referendums, electoral
irregularities, and public opinion polls.
Exploring the historical context, and the structure and method of
operation, this text addresses the key issues and confusions that
surround the local election system including: the nature and extent
of electoral participation including the crucial issue of low
turnout; the candidates, and the growing proportion of women
challenging for council seats; the performance of political
parties, now a central feature of local elections; and the dangers
of viewing local elections as national opinion polls. The book
draws on the results of more than 100,000 local elections dating
back over three decades.
This volume looks at the political events and discusses the major
issues of 1994, most notably the European parliament elections.
The seventh edition of this unique and authoritative guide to more
than 170 years of political history reflects the rapid and
continuing change in the electoral landscape of the United Kingdom.
Covering the period 1832-2006, it gives easy access to a myriad of
facts and figures on all 44 General Elections, six European
Parliament elections and more than 3,700 parliamentary by-elections
that have taken place in the United Kingdom since the Great Reform
Act. It also contains a considerable array of opinion poll data for
both Great Britain and Scotland. Significant new information
includes further rounds of devolution elections in Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland; referendums and elections relating to elected
mayors in London and a number of English local authorities; and the
impact of the relaxation of the regulations on the issuing and
casting of postal votes. To aid readers in finding their way about
this increasingly complex electoral maze, this edition also - and
for the first time - contains a comprehensive index. The
cornerstone of any psephologist's library, British Electoral Facts
1832-2006 will also prove an invaluable reference and source book
for politicians, public servants, historians, journalists, teachers
and all those fascinated by the ebb and flow of electoral fortunes.
