Rezensionen

"The official opposition is integral to the contemporary political system of the United Kingdom. The lack of a full historical study of this subject is therefore a substantial gap in our knowledge. We are fortunate that Dr. Fletcher has now made good on this omission; and done so with considerable skill. I recommend this work highly. It should remain an essential text for some time to come."
