The Conservative Party and its leaders have shaped modern Britain. Who leads the Conservative Party matters, but how do they get to the top of their party?
Historically, leaders were expected to "emerge" through unknown and unknowable processes, typically involving the monarch and party grandees. Every party leader until the 1960s was chosen this way. But as postwar Britain embraced all things modern and meritocratic, the Tory party's traditional ways of working appeared out of touch. The rules were changed subsequently and again after the 1997 landslide defeat. Tory MPs now decide which two candidates are to be put to a members' vote. A decision which has resulted in the ignominious situation of a leader elected without the support of the parliamentary party. In this lively telling of Conservative Party history, Lee Evans asks whether the leadership election rules are the source of the party's current decline and considers what a more effective process might look like for choosing and deposing the leader while in opposition or in office.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
