Abstract

The long periods between 1945 and 1970, and 1979 to 2010 proved that the British political system is adept at producing stable one-party Government. Now though, this looks set to change, with long-term polling trends suggest that coalition could become the rule, rather than the exception. While the current Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has shown itself to be robust at ‘elite’ evel, it is beginning to fray in parliament as the 2015 election draws closer. While Chris Gilson has taken a more recent look at how the current Coalition might end, Stuart Wilks-Heeg, Andrew Blick, and Stephen Crone examined Parliament’s ability to effectively create and support stable Governments in the 2012 Democratic Audit of the UK.
