"Not only an excellent introductory textbook, it is also a timely reminder of why formal political parties still matter, despite all the enormous pressures being placed upon them."
Political Studies Review

"Competently, clearly and concisely written, with great and knowledgeable detail given to the historical events and occurrences that created the political parties we have today."
LSE Blog

"This book combines approachability with comparative concerns and insights: the author not only provides an introduction to UK party politics but sets the British system in context. As a result, it's an ideal entry-level text for students."
Tim Bale, University of Sussex

"This is an excellent text which charts a safe path for students through the minefield that is contemporary British party politics in a wonderfully efficient yet engaging way."
Colin Hay, University of Sheffield

"An excellent introductory undergraduate text. It covers history, ideology, strategic debate, organisation, the functions of parties and the challenges to them, plus debates about reform - and there are good overviews of each of the main protagonists in the UK party system. Extremely readable, informative, engaging and up-to-date."
Paul Webb, University of Sussex
