Synopsis

This is a study of the "what, why and so what" of the process of selecting party leaders in Britain and elsewhere. It seeks to answer the questions - by what means does a party select is leader; why does it use that particular method, and what consequences flow from its use of that method?. While the book's primary focus is the selection of the leaders of the main British parties, the British experience is placed in a comparative context and is used to illustrate general features of leader-selection processes in competitive party systems. Current practices are also placed in historical perspective.
