- The book is the first monograph to examine the politics of the Progressive Alliance from its inception to collapse. The research, over six years, involved consultation of multiple Liberal and Labour Party archives. It necessitated evaluation of election campaign speeches by all candidates across the nine (pre-war) and thirteen (post-war) constituencies in the five case-study parliamentary elections, seven by-elections and municipal elections, as well as analysis of local, national and party press commentary and council minutes. The book engages with an array of sub-disciplines: political science studies, electoral sociology, regional and local studies and the New Political History.
