Recenzii

Reviews of Previous Edition:
'...first sighting of Dick Leonard's Elections in Britain - A Voter's Guide is a sure-fire sign that the UK general election season has finally arrived.' - John Palmer, The Bulletin
'the nuts and bolts of the general election' - Gillian Peele, Times Educational Supplement
'Describes in useful detail how the British electoral system works.' - The Economist
'indispensable reading for all ...a host of facts, figures and anecdotes which turn the sometimes dry and dusty material of the psephologist into fascinating reading...' - John Palmer, The Bulletin
'The most useful election books are those which chart the nuts and bolts of the electoral process. The seventh edition of Elections in Britain: A Voter's Guide... is a straightforward factual account of how the British electoral system works. It deals with the rules and administrative arrangements, the casting and counting of ballots and how votes translate into seats, as well as the conduct and financing of the campaign itself.' - The Economist
