- catalog abstract "This is a lively and authoritative account by a leading political journalist and former MP of how the British electoral system works. It is addressed primarily to intelligent voters, but also to students of political science, government and British Constitution at universities, colleges and schools. It answers central questions such as: When are elections held? Who can vote? What happens on polling day? And how does one become an MP? It explains clearly how and why constituency boundaries have to be altered, how the parties are organized, how campaigns are conducted, the role of the media, how reliable opinion polls are and what happens at by-elections. It deals also with local elections, referenda to the European Parliament and describes clearly the main features of other electoral systems, including the variations of proportional representation. The annexes contain a mass of electoral statistics and a thorough bibliography.".
