Reviews
'It is a volume that every serious student of British electoral behaviour will refer to time after time.' British Politics Group Newsletter Reviews of the Sixth Edition: 'Fred Craig, with his dedication to the exact and comprehensive recording of electoral data, has found worthy heirs in Rallings and Thrasher. No one writing about British Politics can afford to be without this gem of a reference book.' David Butler, University of Oxford, UK 'The coverage and understanding of elections will be immeasurably enriched by this book. It is like Wisden is to cricket - a comprehensive fact book, in all its painstaking detail, of the electoral history of Britain.' Peter Snow, BBC Television, UK 'Every responsible journalist seeking precedents on past results or on election timing or on polling day weather will find their answers here, clearly set out and impeccably accurate.' Times Literary Supplement 'This is a very useful book...clearly, neatly and accurately assembled and presented.' Lord Jenkins of Hillhead 'One is compelled to compliment Rallings and Thrasher...all students of British elections are indebted to them.' British Politics Group Newsletter 'A veritable mine of information and a must for anyone who has an interest in psephology, this is a very valuable resource. Highly recommended therefore.'
