Book Description
It all began with the apparent predictions of the pollsters. It's that time of the political moment when all the opinion polling companies and organisations get busier than the politicians. This year was going to be no different. Day in day out the polls kept coming in. According to opinion polls, it was a very tightly and closely fought election like no other. It was neck and neck they said. It was going to be another hung parliament and the list went on and on. It was meant to be the most unpredictable election in modern history, yet it was the most predictable election in opinion polling history. WHAT HAPPENED? the polls were wrong!How pollsters gravely underestimated conservative support in 2015 and risked the entire integrity of the opinion poll industry.Those that follow polling closely will recall the famous situation in 1992 where the polls appeared to point to a Labour victory (of sorts) only for the Conservatives to prevail. Since that time, much work has gone into correcting those mistakes and subsequent election results have shown that the polling industry has been largely successful at achieving this.However, in an election so close, with so many different parties (and pollsters) involved, could we face the prospect of history repeating itself? Here I examine some of the challenges pollsters face.It's very closeAside from the occasional poll showing a 6 point lead for Labour or the Conservatives, most national polls show the two main parties neck and neck. In fact, the current UK Polling Report average has Labour and the Conservatives on 34 points each. Therefore, by understating either the Labour or Conservative vote slightly, the polls could point to a completely different result to the one we see on Election Day. Indeed, some pollsters could easily call the election wrong (or right) by sheer accident of 'margin of error'. What is clear is that the apparent closeness of the race exacerbates the potential for the polls to be 'wrong'.

Book Description
Winner of the Political Book of the Year Award 2015 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.

Book Description
For thirty years, Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet's environment. This book's lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live.
