Taylor & Francis Ltd Evolution of the British Party System 18851940
Book SynopsisBy the end of the nineteenth century, reform and development of the British electoral system had inaugurated a new style of mass politics which fundamentally transformed the face of the British party system. This book traces the evolution of recognisably modern parties from their roots in the 1880s through half a century of dramatic change in organisational structure, electoral competition and constitutional thought.In the House of Commons the Labour Party replaced the Liberals as the radical answer to the Conservative Party. In the country at large the complex web of Victorian social, regional and religious allegiances gave way to a cruder but more dynamic model of modern political loyalties.The transformation at Westminster and in the constituencies is surveyed in relation to changes to the franchise (including the vote for women), class consciousness, political organisation and doctrine. The comprehensive account explains the varying fortunes of the parties in the face of maTrade Review'a highly successful book...as an introduction to early twentieth-century British politics [it] could hardly be bettered' HistoryTable of ContentsAcknowledgements XI 1 Introduction 1 Notes and references 4 2 Development of the electoral system before 1914 6 2.1 The Franchise and Redistribution Acts, 1884-1885 6 2.2 The elimination of corruption and intimidation 10 2.3 The franchise in Britain after 1885: 'Democracy tempered by registration' 13 Notes and references 18 3 The rise of modern party organisation 21 3.1 Extra-parliamentary organisation 22 3.2 Linking the grassroots to the leaders: the National Union and the Liberal caucus 28 3.3 The emergence of a central party bureaucracy 31 3.4 Discipline and control in the parliamentary parties 34 3.5 The rise of national campaigning, manifestos and programmatic politics 36 Notes and references 38 4 Party realignment and Unionist ascendancy, 1885-1905 41 4.1 Gladstonian Liberalism and the schism of 1886 41 4.2 Liberal malaise, 1886-1902 44 4.3 Liberals, Labour and the birth of the Progressive Alliance 50 4.4 Lord Salisbury and the Unionist alliance 55 4.5 Unionist decline and Liberal revival, 1900-1906 61 Notes and references 64 5 The challenge of New Liberalism, 1906-1914 69 5.1 The reformulation of Liberalism 69 5.2 The conversion of the Liberal party 71 5.3 Liberals and the politics of taxation 74 5.4 Unionist crisis and the politics of taxation, 1906-1910 77 viii Contents 5.5 Labour, the Progressive Alliance and the New Liberalism 80 5.6 Rumours of a 'Strange Death', 1910-1914 84 5.7 The electorate and the New Liberalism 88 5.8 Conclusion: the significance of the New Liberalism 92 Notes and references 94 6 War and the party system 99 6.1 Liberalism divided 99 6.2 Liberal ideology and the strains of war 105 6.3 Conservatism and the challenge of war 109 6.4 Collapse of the Progressive Alliance and Labour's bid for independence 112 6.5 Labour, 'socialism' and the impact of war 115 6.6 The 'coupon' election of December 1918 118 Notes and references 120 7 The Lloyd George Coalition, 1918-1922 124 7.1 The impact of Labour 124 7 .2 Coalition, reconstruction and resistance to socialism 127 7.3 Slump and the destruction of 'national unity' 129 7.4 Anti-socialist 'fusion' and the realignment of the centre-right 132 7.5 The fall of the Coalition 133 Notes and references 138 8 Three-party confusion in the 1920s 140 8.1 Explanations for party realignment 140 8.2 The 'franchise factor' and the Fourth Reform Act of 1918 142 8.3 The organisational factor in Labour rise and Liberal decline 146 8.4 Labour, Liberals and the battle of ideas 149 8.5 The impact of the first Labour government 156 8.6 The foundations of Conservative electoral hegemony 159 8. 7 The 1929 election: the end of the three-party era 168 Notes and references 171 9 The National Governments 176 9.1 The party crisis, 1929-1931 176 9 .2 The political crisis and the National Government 179 9.3 The character of the National Government 183 9 .4 The collapse of independent Liberalism 188 9.5 Labour responses to 1931: leadership, power and organisation 189 9.6 Labour's ideological response to 1931 191 9.7 Party politics and the 'impact of Hitler' 195 9.8 The failure of political extremism in the 1930s 197 9. 9 Electoral competition and the onset of war 199 Notes and references 202 Select Bibliography General background histories The electoral system Party development and management Elections and electoral behaviour Party histories: the Conservatives The Labour party The Liberal party Extremist parties Coalition and 'National Government' Party doctrine and thought Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Media Politics
Book SynopsisSocial media and social networking services are integrated into the American political process and have profoundly influenced political communication and participation. Social media platforms have transformed the political landscape by revolutionizing information dissemination, citizen engagement, and public opinion formation and change. Politicians use social media to communicate directly with voters in an unmediated and unfiltered manner. Comparatively, voters use social media to follow the latest messaging from politicians accompanied by demonstrating their support for particular politicians. This book is a comprehensive examination of the role of digital and social media in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Political discourse during the 2020 election revealed political disharmony and a deep political division among vast swaths of Americans that was powered, in part, by social media. This book reveals how digital and social media have reshaped power dynamics by alterin

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Australian Horn of Plenty
Book SynopsisHamilton explores in a short history how all men gained the vote, self-government and the secret ballot in South Australia (1856), Victoria (1857), and New South Wales (1858).Australia permanently democratised without a violent revolution, and at a very early time. In 18511858, local parliaments in the British colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia gave all men the vote, including Aboriginal and Chinese men, the secret ballot, and self-government of local affairs. Britain approved, this book examines the parliamentary debate which led to these radical democracies. Debates covered voting eligibility, the secret ballot, the upper house of parliament, equal electorates, multiple voting, illiterate voters, control of Crown lands, terms of parliament, payment of members, and separation of Church and State. British parliamentary tradition was combined with the advanced liberal thinking of the time, Chartism with the British constitution. The democratisation of 1

Taylor & Francis Ltd Party Politics in Turkey
Book SynopsisAlthough the literature on party politics has significantly advanced both methodologically and theoretically in recent years, the study of political parties in Turkey has been noticeably disconnected and lacking from such conversations.This book evaluates well-established theories and trends in existing party politics literature and relates them to the case of Turkey. It explores fundamental questions such as: Who controls party organizations and how does the locus of control change over time? What kinds of power struggles are observed inside a party and between whom? What do the present and past records of party membership imply for party organizations? What role do grassroots activists play in local and national politics? How do the ideological orientations of party members differ from party leaders and other voters? What types of social cleavages shape political parties and how do they change over time? What constitutes the relationship between the state and parties today?Table of ContentsIntroduction, Pelin Ayan Musil & Özhan Demirkol 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Selecting the President
Book SynopsisSelecting political leaders by popular election is an unquestioned hallmark of representative democraciesthe institutional manifestation of Lincoln's promise of a government of the people and by the people. But in 2016, Lincoln's promise seems to have given way to Hamilton's nightmarewith his worries that popular elections would produce demagogues who paid an obsequious court to the people, appealing to their passions and prejudices rather than to their reason. This book examines the commitment to the widest level of participation among the largest number of citizens in the selection of the president. It looks at two salient characteristics of our current presidential election environment that bring the wisdom of this commitment into question: the declining influence of political parties and the communication revolution in the form of the internet, social media, and cable television. Ultimately, Mezey asks whether our now fully democratized presidential selection process has in factTrade ReviewPraise for (S)electing the PresidentMichael L. Mezey’s (S)electing the President: The Perils of Democracy is a must-read for anyone interested in the current state of our presidential selection process. After the historic 2016 election, this outstanding analysis addresses the central dilemmas of American democracy today: As our electoral system becomes more democratized with increased demagoguery, is the quality of candidates and campaigns diminished? Is it possible to have good government and quality leaders?James A. Thurber, American UniversityMichael Mezey’s new book, (S)electing the President, is an important contribution to the conversation surrounding popular elections. Drawing on the writing of ancient philosophers and our nation's founders, Mezey sends a strong message: that too much democratization of the nominating process and of the media might not be so beneficial as some think. His message is ignored at our peril.L. Sandy Maisel, Colby CollegeWith clarity and insight, Michael Mezey provides students and faculty with an engaging and concise narrative and analysis of the process by which we select the president of the United States. (S)electing the President is a must-read for students taking courses in introductory American government, elections, political parties, and politics and the media who want (and need) to better understand the history of the selection process, and specifically the 2016 presidential election.Alan R. Gitelson, Loyola University ChicagoThere is a conundrum at the heart of American electoral politics: The more democratized the presidential elections become, the less likely the most qualified candidate is elected. (S)electing the President casts a critical eye at the tension between democratic appeal and governing competence – pinpointing causes, consequences, and potential reform – and pierces this conundrum. Michael Mezey’s broad historical sweep and careful contemporary analysis should be a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the dynamics and outcomes of recent presidential elections.Sarah Binder, George Washington University and The Brookings InstitutionTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Sweden Democrats in Transition
Book SynopsisThis book explains how the Sweden Democrats (SD), a populist radical right party, has moved from the fringes into the mainstream of Swedish politics.SD has experienced rapid growth and success in Sweden in recent years. Following the 2022 elections, SD became an official support party to a right of centre minority coalition. The party has managed this sustained electoral growth since it entered parliament in 2010, despite having roots in right-wing extremism, including some links with fascism and nazism. For these reasons it was for many years isolated by other parties, and given an overwhelmingly negative treatment by the media. This book explores the position of SD in the electorate, the changing status of SD among Swedish voters, and how other parties interact with SD. The analysis sheds light on the route into the mainstream of a party without a reputational shield. The argument is that, although the route SD has taken is different, it is only a matter of time before SD w
