The Election (A Guardian Book)

About this book

As well as the detailed analysis of the central areas of policy over which the Election will be fought, this book focuses on the key personalities, from the party leader to their respective spin doctors. It looks at the crucial marginal seats and reruns the 1992 result taking into account the boundary changes that have since moved voters around. It profiles the undignified scrambling in the chicken run - MPs in search of safer seats - and looks at the experience of all-women shortlists. With contributions from "The Guardian"'s political writers, it also takes a look at the MPs who won't be gracing the next parliament.
