Book Synopsis
Margaret Thatcher''s departure from office and the arrival of her successor, John Major, have had a profound impact on the way Britain is governed - and in this new edition of Consensus Politics, the authors examines the legacy of Thatcherite conviction politics and assesses the state of consensus in Britain''s government today.
