"One of those books, like the Nuffield Foundation volumes on British general elections, that makes you wonder how we managed before they came along." In Westminster, 2019 was dominated by the Brexit debates, as the hung Parliament wrestled with Meaningful Votes on the UK's future, as Boris Johnson became leader of the Conservative Party and won the second snap general election in two years. Outside Westminster, politics was going on too. Up and down the length of the UK, Meaningful Votes took place nearly every week to fill vacancies on our local councils. Andrew Teale previewed them all for the poll aggregator Britain Elects, providing a local context to the national scene. The issues, the demographics, the candidates, the history, the reasons to visit (or not, as the case may be) all add up to a new viewpoint on the UK's democracy. Great Britain has around 10,000 electoral wards, and every one of them has a story to tell. Some of those stories are in this book. Now enjoy the fourth annual book collection of Andrew's Previews, and rediscover the pleasures of travel from your armchair while reliving the momentous political year of 2019 as it happened, as we discuss all the right votes, but not necessarily in the right order...
