The ninth book in the long-running Britiain at the Polls series, the 2010 edition looks back at the political landscape since 2005 with special focus on the transition from Tony Blair to Gordon Brown and the impact of events such as the the financial crisis, the MPs expenses scandal and the first ever leaders' debates. The 2010 election is analyzed in this context and the final chapters look ahead to assess the fortunes of the new governemnt. A strong line-up of contributors includes Philip Norton, Paul Webb, James A. Stimson, Michael Moran and Ron Johnston.

Britain At The Polls 2010 is the latest in the long running and well respected series of books which has covered general elections in Britain since February 1974. This edition carries a stellar cast of contributors from the world of political academia...a cohesive, accessible and overall enjoyable book....So many collections of essays can be either biased or disjointed, but this seems to strike the perfect balance, being both representative and managing to present a conjoined approach to the subject

A great read and incisive review of the 2010 UK general election.
An essential insight into the political process within the U.K.
An excellent assessment of the election which enabled the students to provide a comprehensive understanding of 2010 as a casestudy.
This is a readable guide to the 2010 election and quite suitable for students on my course.
It is useful but obviously very specific (i.e. about the 2010 election), which is why is supllmental. But it will be reccomened for a couple of lectures in particular.
