The British General Election of 2010 is a must-read for anyone wanting to know how the action unfolded in the most dramatic election for a generation.

A study of power in British political parties. It asks what happened to consensus politics and looks at the ideology and sociology of Labour's strategy. It also questions the need for a centre party and discusses political figures such as Churchill, Enoch Powell and Tony Benn.

The 1987 election, which returned Mrs Thatcher for a record-breaking third term, was notable for a new level of campaigning professionalism.

In this study of her style and performance, Mrs Thatcher emerges as both the midwife and the product of the collapse of consensus.
