Book Description
Mayoral elections were introduced in the UK a decade ago. An extraordinary number of independents have since won despite there being few independent Members of Parliament and local councillors in these local authorities. This research’s subject is all 26 of the mayoral elections between 2000-2007 — the first and second rounds of English mayoral elections, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches to investigate the reasons for candidates’ success.
