Britain at the Polls 2001 provides the first analytical account of Tony Blair's first term, including a detailed description of the changes in the British political system since 1997. It explains New Labour's success in winning a second term and describes the Blair government's relations with the Labour Party itself, the Liberal Democrat Party and, not least, the British mass media. It reflects on the plight of--and the options open to--the post-Thatcher Conservative Party and concludes with an analysis of the outlook for British politics in an era now dominated by New Labour under Tony Blair.
