Elections aren't just important - they are revealing. They tell us
things about who we are and how we behave. Written by leading
political experts, Sex, Lies and Politics reveals what really makes
us tick. At once funny, revealing and shocking, it covers
everything you need to know about the voters and their quirks,
foibles and sexual secrets, including when they lie (often to
themselves), how they are swayed by tribal loyalties (even when
judging cats and celebrities), and why you should keep quiet about
your Brexit vote when moving house... Combining brand-new essays
with fully updated pieces from the acclaimed Sex, Lies and the
Ballot Box and More Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box, this witty and
thought-provoking collection is a guaranteed conversation starter.
If you want to discover which party's voters have the wildest
private lives, read on.
The British General Election of 2017 is the definitive and
authoritative account of one of the most dramatic elections in
British history. Throwing aside her natural caution, Theresa May

Conservatives lost their Commons majority to a resurgent Labour led
by one of the most unconventional politicians to lead a major
British political party. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, with
unparalleled access to all the key players, The British General
Election of 2017 offers a revelatory guide to what really happened.

Shortlisted for the Practical Politics Book of the Year at The
Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2015. Have you ever wondered...-
what emotions really influence where your cross goes on the ballot
paper? - whether people are claiming to vote when they haven't? -
which party's supporters are the kinkiest in bed? In the run-up to
the most hotly contested and unpredictable election in a
generation, this exhilarating read injects some life back into the
world of British electoral politics. Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box
sheds light on some of our more unusual voting trends, ranging from
why people lie about voting to how being attractive can get you
elected. Each of the fifty accessible and concise chapters, written
by leading political experts, seeks to examine the broader issues
surrounding voting and elections in Britain. It is not just about
sexual secrets and skewed surveys: it illustrates the importance of
women and ethnic minorities; explains why parties knock on your
door (and why they don't); and shows how partisanship colours your
views of everything, even pets. This fascinating volume covers
everything you need to know (and the things you never thought you
needed to know) about the bedroom habits, political untruths and
voting nuances behind the upcoming election. Foreword by Daniel
Finkelstein
In recent years British politics has seemed increasingly
unpredictable. The Conservative Party's return to single-party
government in 2015 surprised commentators and the electorate alike,
and Labour's choice of Jeremy Corbyn as its leader marked a
striking change in direction for the party. Cuts to public welfare
and spending have led to growing dissatisfaction among sections of
the public, and the increasing popularity of parties critical of
the government's immigration, economic and social policies appears
to represent a call for fundamental change in British politics.
With a question mark hanging over the country's global standing
following the EU referendum, and with further calls for Scottish
independence, Britain's immediate future seems uncertain. In the
10th edition of this highly acclaimed text, leading authorities
reflect on the latest developments in British politics. Drawing on
current research, the chapters provide a state-of-the-art, yet
accessible, account of British politics today. All the chapters are
newly commissioned for this edition and together they provide a
systematic analysis of key trends, issues and debates. Topics
covered include the legacy of Cameron's governments, the politics
of austerity, immigration, and the question of what, if anything,
is distinctively 'British' about the British political system.
