Introduction -- The way things were : elections, 1964-70 -- 'Decade of dealignment' : elections, 1974-9 -- Conservative hegemony? Elections, 1983-92 -- The triumph of New Labour : elections, 1997-2005 -- From Blair to Brown to Cameron and Clegg : 2005-10 and after -- Conclusion : Diversity, dealignment, and disillusion.
Summary: Despite a recent decline in voter turnout, British general elections are still the centrepiece of Britain's liberal democracy and their results make a real difference to every British citizen. They command strong media interest long before their dates are announced and even uneventful campaigns dominate the headlines. The 2010 general election saw the first direct televised debates between the main party leaders, adding further interest to a battle which was always likely to be close. The result was a 'hung parliament' and the first British coalition government since 1945. However, as this boo.
