Wonderful reports - Professor Michael Thrasher, Local Government Elections Centre "Reading the tea-leaves on Westminster by elections is dangerous, for local by elections even more so, but you won't find a better way to engage in this dangerous behaviour than by following these previews." - Paula Surridge, co-author, The British General Election of 2019 "A great read" - Jo Stevens MP, Shadow Welsh Secretary 2021 was another rollercoaster year in British politics, as the UK emerged from lockdown and things - including politics - got back to normal. Local elections were held for the first time in two years, and 450 by-elections took place to the House of Commons, Police and Crime Commissioners, and to our local councils. Andrew Teale previewed them all for the poll aggregator Britain Elects, providing a local context to the national scene. The issues, the demographics, the candidates, the history, the reasons to visit (or not, as the case may be) all add up to a unique viewpoint on the UK's democracy. The sixth annual book collection of Andrew's Previews brings a unique perspective on the year 2021, as it happened.
