The History of British Political Parties
''The History of British Political Parties'', also referred to as ''Politico's Guide to the History of British Political Parties'', is a reference book about political parties in the United Kingdom. Written by David Boothroyd, it was published in 2001 by Politico's Publishing Ltd and distributed in the United States by International Specialized Book Services (ISBS).〔 At the time of the book's publication, Boothroyd worked as a researcher with Parliamentary Monitoring Services.〔 The book contains entries on over 250 UK political parties that have participated in parliamentary elections. It is structured alphabetically by entry, with the size of each entry relative to the history and influence of the individual political party. Boothroyd includes information about the history and election statistics of each party, as well as a brief narrative. He focuses on the Conservative, Liberal, and Labour parties; the parties with the most significant histories in British politics.
Boothroyd's work received positive reviews in book journals. The book was recommended by ''The School Librarian'' and ''Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries''; although the latter criticised it for not including bibliographical aids. The authors of the bibliographical work ''Information Sources of Political Science'' described it as a "handy guide", and it was used as a reference in ''Third Force Politics: Liberal Democrats at the Grassroots''.
==Contents==
''The History of British Political Parties'' is a comprehensive work which lists and describes over 250 political parties in the United Kingdom that have participated in parliamentary elections since 1832.〔 Entries are organised alphabetically, and most descriptions of the political parties span a few paragraphs or pages. Space is allotted to each entry based on the individual party's history and influence; 34 pages are devoted to the Conservative Party, whereas only two paragraphs are given to the Captain Beany's New Millennium Bean Party.〔
Each entry contains objective information on the party including its history, address, the number of registered members, election statistics,〔〔 and their email address and website if these exist.〔 The author provides a detailed, narrative description of each party.〔 Boothroyd writes, "Only three parties out of the 250 ... have ever formed a government in the United Kingdom."〔 He devotes the most discussion in the book to the Conservative, Liberal and Labour parties.〔〔 The book includes cross-references to enable the reader to easily locate political parties that have had changes over time.〔
