DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, Britain has been rocked by a series of p
 olitical revolts. The rise of national populism\, the vote for Brexit\, Bo
 ris Johnson's emphatic 2019 election victory\, the fall of Labour's Red Wa
 ll\, and the emergence of a very different brand of conservatism have all 
 outflanked the country's liberal establishment and stunned the world. In t
 rying to make sense of this remarkable churn and change\, many commentator
 s cling to very short-term and unconvincing explanations\, pointing to soc
 ial media\, dark money\, individual leaders\, or the promises made to vote
 rs.\n\nBut\, as acclaimed political scientist Matthew Goodwin reveals in t
 his strikingly original study\, this turbulence has been a long time in th
 e making - and it is set to continue for many years to come. Embarking on 
 a profound and wide-ranging analysis of postwar British politics\, Goodwin
  shows how these revolts are all symptomatic of deeper shifts that are now
  rapidly reshaping our political world. He points to the rise of three new
  drivers over 'values'\, 'voice' and 'virtue'\, and shows how these unique
 ly powerful divides are now pushing us into a new era of political volatil
 ity.\n\nMatthew J. Goodwin is Professor of Politics at the University of K
 ent. The author of four books\, including the Sunday Times bestseller Nati
 onal Populism\, he appears regularly in print and broadcast media includin
 g the Sunday Times and the BBC. Goodwin has advised more than 200 organisa
 tions on political issues.
