It analyzes the significant role of these long-term developments and their detrimental effect on the parliament's ability to resolve issues like the Scottish Independence Referendum or the UK's vote to leave the European Union, and it addresses their underlying causes. The author additionally reconnects these electoral developments to the changing nature of devolution and shows how the deepening of devolution accelerates the negative electoral consequences for the British system of government. Finally, the book shows why the British Labour Party is turning more and more into a long-term minority party as a result of these developments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a must-read for scholars, students and policy-makers, interested in a better understanding of comparative politics and devolution in general, as well as in the more specific case of the United Kingdom's electoral system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Niendorf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030725251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030725259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Tim Niendorf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078779793663,"sku":"9783030725259","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4baccf4-8291-42c6-914f-4618c1a3cd84.jpg?v=1685477471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-devolution-gambit-tim-niendorf-9783030725259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
