Paperback, [PD: 10/09/2007], [PU: Methuen Publishing Ltd], Seiten: 384, [ED: New title], "The New Face of British Politics" is the first book to describe accurately and in detail the changes that have occurred since the 2005 general election. At the next general election all three major parties will have a different leader than in 2005, and there are to be comprehensive boundary changes. This book will serve as the first guide to this uncharted territory. The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes the principal trends and results of the 2005 election, looks at the electoral challenges before the next general election (UK local elections, elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and London Assemblies, and European elections), and explains in detail the process and consequences of boundary reviews. Part II, arranged by region, offers a detailed local analysis of the seats that will matter in the next general election and the impact of the boundary changes on those seats. The book will also discuss the impact of the various electoral systems used in different types of election.<
