Reviews

""The official opposition is integral to the contemporary political system of the United Kingdom. The lack of a full historical study of this subject is therefore a substantial gap in our knowledge. We are fortunate that Dr. Fletcher has now made good on this omission; and done so with considerable skill. I recommend this work highly. It should remain an essential text for some time to come."" Andrew Blick, Professor of Politics and Contemporary History and Head of Department of Political Economy, King’s College London
