Drawing on current research, this book provides a state-of-the-art, yet accessible, account of British politics today, reflecting the latest developments. All the chapters are newly commissioned for this edition and together they provide a systematic analysis of key trends, issues and debates. Topics covered include the legacy of Cameron's governments, the politics of austerity, immigration, and the question of what, if anything, is distinctively 'British' about the British political system.
