It analyzes the significant role of these long-term  developments and their detrimental effect on the parliament’s ability to  resolve issues like the Scottish Independence Referendum or the UK’s  vote to leave the European Union, and it addresses their underlying causes. The author additionally reconnects these  electoral developments to the changing nature of devolution and shows  how the deepening of devolution accelerates the negative electoral  consequences for the British system of government. Finally, the book shows why the British Labour Party is turning more and more  into a long-term minority party as a result of these developments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  book is a must-read for scholars, students and policy-makers,  interested in a better understanding of comparative politics and devolution in general, as well as in the  more specific case of the United Kingdom’s electoral system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-05-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030725259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-72523-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 183\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45663299141772,"sku":"9783030725259","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030725259.jpg?v=1774039677","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030725259","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
