Klappentext British Politics since 1945 offers a comprehensive overview of post-war British politics ideal for introductory students and general readers alike.

It also analyses the main ideological perspectives operating within party politics since the Second World War - from the Right, the Centre and the Left - showing how these dominant groups have viewed developments and expressed their ambitions over the last fifty years. The book makes extensive use of tabular material, and includes useful appendices for reference, such as a list of general elections and prime ministers since 1945, and a chronology of important legislation. It is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in the history and politics of post-war Britain.
