It investigates all the Liberal/Liberal Democrat MPs and former MPs who defected from the party between the elections of December 1910 and May 2010 - around one sixth of all those elected - as well as the smaller number of inward defectors. Each of the 122 defections was an expert judgment on the state of the party at a specific date. The research investigates the timing and reasons for all the defections and reveals long-term trends and underlying causes and apportions responsibility between leaders for them. The author finds some significant differences which distinguished defectors from loyalists and draws wider conclusions about the underlying factors which lead MPs to defect. This book will be of interest to students and lecturers of British politics and anyone interested in the relationship between British political parties in the last century. 606 $aRight and left (Political science)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 610 $aBritish Government. 610 $aConservatives. 610 $aGreat War. 610 $aLabour Party. 610 $aLiberal Democrats. 610 $aLiberal Party. 610 $adefections. 610 $ainward defector. 610 $aoutward defector. 610 $aparty leadership. 610 $apolitical analysts. 615 0$aRight and left (Political science)$xHistory 676 $a324.2410609 700 $aWyburn-Powell$b Alun$01684815 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808601603321 996 $aDefectors and the Liberal Party 1910?2010$94056461 997 $aUNINA
