The Electoral System in Britain cover

This excellent new book provides a comprehensive account of the British system of parliamentary elections. It contains a description of the current structure and operation of the electoral system, and pays special attention to those subjects which have given rise to political concern or controversy in recent years. There is extensive analysis and commentary upon the different proposals for reform which are currently in debate, and the author puts forward his own conclusions on how the electoral system should be developed in the years ahead to modernise and improve the quality of representative democracy in Britain.    

'This is an indispensable book. It is the best study of the British electoral system (including arguments for reform)...It deserves a wide readership.' - Lord Plant, Master of St Catherine's College, Oxford 'A very comprehensive and scholarly account of the electoral system. It is very well researched (and) will be a very useful source of reference...The book is an authoritative contribution to current debates on reform.' - Dawn Oliver, Professor of Constitutional Law, University College, London
