"The parliamentary Conservative Party is facing its demise. Its leadership has sacrificed a long-standing commitment to the Union to 'Get Brexit done'. 'The party's over' charts the flaws and failings of each successive leader from Thatcher to Sunak and to seeming oblivion in the next election. Phil Burton-Cartledge examines the membership, who are increasingly old and unrepresentative of the electorate. Their values are alien to younger voters unable to share in the benefits enjoyed by older generations. Burton-Cartledge skilfully anatomises the collapse of a party globally renowned as a machine for winning elections."-- Taken from back cover.
