Synopsis:

Reviews of previous editions: 'the book remains the best of the many general texts on British government and politics to be published in the last twelve years or so.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement '...the well-known strengths of Mackintosh's original book are sustained and extended'. - Parliamentary Affairs The seventh edition of this outstandingly successful textbook has been throughly revised to bring it completely up to date. Three consecutive Conservative election victories have seen a tide of reforms: this new edition shows how our system of government is responding to the contemporary political climate. There is new material on local elections, the politics of the centre, and the limits of state power. The text continues to be organized around broad constitutional themes - the role of parliament, the power of the MP, the state and the citizen. It provides a stimulating and authoritative survey of the theory and practice of British government.
