Title: Trade unions and the British electorate
Description: The author highlights the breakdown in the electoral linkages between the Labour Party and the unions that has occurred since the 1960s and illustrates how the interplay of social change and volatile party-union relations accounts for the loss of support among manual trade unionists, while emphasising the potential that unions have for affecting the outcome of elections.
