Themes covered include the nature and extent of party\u003cbr\u003ecompetition, the internal life and organizational development of parties, the varieties of party system found across the UK, and the roles played by parties within the wider political system. The book also addresses the crisis of popular legitimacy confronting the parties, as well as assessing the\u003cbr\u003escope for potential reform. While parties remain central to the functioning of Britain's democracy, public disaffection with them is as high as it has ever been; reform of the system of representation and party funding is warranted, but there are unlikely to be any panaceas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Webb, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Politics, University of Sussex\u003c\/em\u003e, Tim Bale, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul Webb is Professor of Politics at the University of Sussex, and has held previous and visiting positions at universities in the UK, Australia and Japan.
