11th volume in the longstanding Political Communications series launched in 1979 Provides both practitioner and academic commentaries on the 2019 British General Election Seeks to understand the relationships between the parties, media and voting public
“The 2019 General Election marks yet another seismic shift in British electoral history. The Conservative Party's success in historic Labour heartlands is more evidence that British voters can no longer be relied on to follow the old certainties. Understanding what's changed requires a deep analysis of party strategy and communications. This volume promises to do just that by bringing together the who's who of polling and campaigning analysis to dissect what happened and why.”<p>–&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Rosie Campbell</b>, Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership and Professor of Politics, King’s College London, UK</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The Political Communication series is well-established as one of the ‘must reads’ about each British General Election. This latest version has assembled a stellar team to explore the 2019 general election from almost every possible angle. We will all find much in this book to tell us things that we didn’t know about that election - and to challenge much of what we thought we did know.” </p>

<p>–&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Roger Awan-Scully</b>, Chair of the Political Studies Association of the UK</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>“An indispensable collection of essays that tells the story of how Boris Johnson snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for the Conservatives and how&nbsp;Labour and Liberal Democrats contrived the opposite. This richly textured account of an election that set the future course of Britain outside Europe reflects a diversity of both scholarly analysis and direct observation from a distinguished assembly of scholars, journalists, politicians, party officials,&nbsp;and pollsters.”</p>

<p>–&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Sir Ivor Crewe</b>,&nbsp;, Honorary Fellow and former Master of University College, Oxford, UK</p>
