Party Politics
£38.00
GBPOriginally published in 1960, this was the first of three volumes on 'Party Politics'. The whole work was the conclusion of Sir Ivor Jenning's standard survey of English constitutional and political practice begun with Cabinet Government (3rd edition, 1959) and continued in Parliament (2nd edition, 1957). Party Politics as a whole dealt with topics which must be seen as a continuous development since 1688. Like the companion volumes it benefited from Sir Ivor's unique combination of talents: knowledge of the law; knowledge of the history which produced the law, and personal knowledge of the way affairs of state are conducted. Volume I deals with elections in law and practice. Volume II, The Growth of Parties, deals with their composition and operation. Volume II, The Stuff of Politics dealt with leading political ideas.
