Review

'In the age of the World Wide Web we are awash with information. What we often need, however, is for someone to sift the information and to make sense of it. In the case of UK politics this book fulfils this need admirably and incisively by identifying key developments and providing expert political analysis.' - David Judge, Department of Government, University of Strathclyde, UK

'This impressive and comprehensive edited collection of essays is a welcome addition to the existing material concerning the study of British politics. It provides an almost up-to-the-minute analysis of all the significant political high and low points to occur during 2006...This is a very important and accessible book produced mainly with the academic and student audience in mind.' - Brian Davies, Political Studies Review
