Britain at the Polls, 2001 (Paperback, Revised)

"Britain at the Polls 2001" is the first in-depth evaluation of Tony Blair's first term as Prime Minister of Britain, including a detailed description of the changes in the British political system since 1997. The book explains New Labour's success in winning its second term in May 2001, and describes the Blair government's relations with the Labour Party itself, the Liberal Democrat Party and, not least, the British mass media. King and his team of political experts also reflect on the plight of - and the options open to - the post-Thatcher Conservative Party and concludes with an analysis of the outlook for British politics in an era now dominated by New Labour under Tony Blair.
