General Election 2015

About the Book: 

The 2015 General Election is set to be the most important and unpredictable election since the Second World War.

But who’s who in the current landscape of UK party politics? Who most represents your views? What would a country governed by that party look like?

Co-author of Scotland’s Referendum: A Guide for Voters and author of 100 Days of Hope and Fear, David Torrance is here to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision and to make your vote count.

This pocket-sized, non-partisan guide features chapters on Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, the SNP and UKIP, and another dedicated to the other parties contesting seats. The guide is rounded off with a prediction of possible outcomes and an overview of the constitutional implications the election has for Scotland.

Reviews:

The voters’ companion in choosing the route and in helping us to keep track of the horse-trading which will occur thereafter.
