- Summary
- The Conservatives are back - but how did they do it and what took them so long? Based on in-depth research and interviews with the key players, Tim Bale explains why the Tories got themselves into so much trouble in the first place and how they were finally able to get things back on track. He also explores their inability to win an outright victory at the 2010 election and looks at their decision to share power with the Liberal Democrats.
