Elections in Britain Today: A Guide for Voters and Students

by R.L. Leonard

Political journalist and former MP Leonard primarily addresses intelligent voters, but his explanation of how the British electoral process works might also interest perplexed foreigners and students of political science, government, and the British constitution. He explains such aspects as when elections are held, who can vote, why constituency boundaries are changed, how parties are organized, how campaigns are conducted, the role of the media, and the reliability of opinion polls.
