Written with one eye on the 2024 election and dated slightly as a result, with references such as Ted Heath's 1970 election win being the only post-war occasion when a working majority for one party had turned into a working majority for another. Some excellent analyses in there of individual elections, particularly from the likes of John Curtice and Rob Ford. some are more disappointing, including Adam Boulton on 2010 and Stephen Parkinson on 2017, who decided to write about their own personal experiences as if they were central to each campaign rather than very, very peripheral figures. I've started to put my reading list together for our holiday to France which is less than a week away now. Not a huge amount of though has gone into it, just pick up some I fancy from the Tsundoku. Will try and frenchify the list as much as possible and am also going to take a Jilly Cooper as a beach read.
