This book contains an extensive in-depth analysis of political change in Britain from 2010 - 2020. It is an adaptation of my thesis and is designed for a broad audience interested in British politics. It covers the changes that took place between the 2010 & 19' elections and the key reasons behind these changes. It particularly focuses on how the opinions of voters shaped election outcomes through the decade. Crucially, it outlines how the issues of immigration and the EU formed a new political divide, of which was significant in shaping electoral outcomes throughout the decade. As voters were divided different on these views, it encouraged groups of voters to break historic voting patterns and back the main party they had historically been opposed to. Vitally, this book is also very topical as it can help explain the highly volatile and unpredictable nature of British politics in 2025. Ultimately, the book argues that this new political divide can increasingly explain how the British political landscape is shaped.

This book is recommended for those interested in and studying British politics and electoral politics in general. It is also recommended for those who want to understand the difficulties the historic two main parties (Labour & Conservative) are currently facing in British Politics. The book's findings generally show that there was a shift in how British politics is structured (a realignment). This means the way parties behave and compete vote groups of voters greatly altered across the 2010s. This was particularly the case in the 2017 and 2019 elections. It particularly highlights how a realignment developed gradually as the decade progressed, making the 2010s the decade of realignment. It shows how non-economic issues remoulded the electorate and how economic issues were unusually insignificant.
