"Ford and Goodwin's fact-packed study takes a compelling look at how Ukip has become a threat to both Labour and the Tory party, fuelling the rise of the radical right in Britain. "

MATTHEW GOODWIN AND ROBERT FORD WIN POLITICAL BOOK OF THE YEAR. 
ANDREW MARR WINS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.

"Revolt on the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain by academics Matthew Goodwin and Robert Ford, published by Routledge, won the Political Book of the Year last night at the Paddy Power Political Book Awards. The glittering ceremony, which was hosted by impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner and held at the BFI IMAX, was attended by a select audience of authors, publishers and politicians.

 

 

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) is the most significant new party in British politics for a generation. In recent years UKIP and their charismatic leader Nigel Farage have captivated British politics, media and voters. Yet both the party and the roots of its support remain poorly understood. Where has this political revolt come from? Who is supporting them, and why? How are UKIP attempting to win over voters? And how far can their insurgency against the main parties go?

 

 

Drawing on a wealth of new data – from surveys of UKIP voters to extensive interviews with party insiders – in this book prominent political scientists Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin put UKIP's revolt under the microscope and show how many conventional wisdoms about the party and the radical right are wrong. Along the way they provide unprecedented insight into this new revolt, and deliver some crucial messages for those with an interest in the state of British politics, the radical right in Europe and political behaviour more generally."
