Marshalling evidence from twelve campaigns over a decade of four general elections, the sophisticated analysis provides new insights into how party and leaders? campaign strategy is used to bridge the local and national dimensions of the country?s political life?. -R.K. Carty, Professor Emeritus, The University of British Columbia, Canada ?This is a fascinating ? and highly original ? account of the activities of party leaders in British elections.? -David Denver, Emeritus Professor, Lancaster University, UK. This book concentrates on the leaders of the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats in British general election campaigns between 2010 and 2019, by exploring where they visit during the campaign and why, the impact they have, and how leadership is represented in the Press. It establishes the key strategic underpinnings for their visits, and the types of activities they undertake - in a uniquely British context. The degree to which leaders - and their visits - form an important dimension of voter behaviour is also considered. Moreover, the book explores how the Press delve into the personal lives of lesser-known opposition leaders and scrutinise the policies of Prime Ministers. The types of visits by leaders that become newsworthy are identified alongside their importance as a framing tool in election reporting. Beyond the leaders themselves, press reporting on their personal relationships is scrutinised, showing an increased acceptance of active partnership. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Political Leadership,$x2947-583X 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aCommunication in politics 606 $aElections 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical Leadership 606 $aPolitical Communication 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aEuropean Politics 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 676 $a324.941085 676 $a324.9410861 700 $aMiddleton$b Alia$01372856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734889903321 996 $aCommunicating and strategising leadership in British elections$93403776 997 $aUNINA
