Understanding Political Change: The British Voter 1964-1987 - Softcover
The central concern of Understanding Political Change is to explore the social and political sources of electoral change in Britain. From the Labour successes of the 1960s through the reemergence of the Liberals as a national force in 1974 and the rise and fall of the SDP to the potential emergence of the Green Party in the 1990s, Dr Heath and his collaborators chart the continually changing mould of British politics. Questions of the greater volatility of a more sophisticated electorate, of new cleavages in society replacing those based on social class, of the Conservative government's deliberate and inadvertent interventions to shape the emerging social structure, and of the influence which the political parties have been able to exert on public attitudes are all addressed with reference to data from the election surveys carried out after each general election since 1964.

Review:
John Rentoul
a bombshell for political cliches... If you only read one book on British voting behaviour, this should be it.
...a must for every politics library...the authors contribute further to the debates on class voting, electoral volatility and the impact of Mrs Thatcher's government. Understanding Political Change is not a nit-picking book but it debunks textbook cliches.
Understanding Political Change: the British Voher 1964-67
Alan Warde, Lancaster University
Understanding Political Change is the report from the 1987 British Election Survey...it is primarily concerned with documenting and explaining trends. It re-uses the entire series of surveys back to 1964, demonstrating the enormous value of repeated inquiries asking comparable questions.... Understanding Political Change is a highly competent and professional volume.

This book will surely be of importance to scholars with an interest in British electoral behaviour.
