<p>"This rigorous analysis of the rise of Ukip is the most important books on British politics for years. Revolt on the Right is written by two young political scientists, Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin. It is based on rigorous analysis of survey evidence, as well as interviews with leading Ukip figures. It shows convincingly how the Ukip insurgency reflects deeper changes in British society, changes that the three major parties have barely glimpsed. Revolt on the Right is not only an outstanding work of political science. It is also one of the most important books on British politics to have appeared for many years" - Vernon Bogdanor, The Spectator</p><p>'An excellent new book by Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin' - Nigel Farage, UKIP Leader</p>

<p><strong>Winner 'Political Book of the Year', 2015.</strong></p><p><strong>One of <em>The Guardian's</em> Top Politics Books in 2014 - 'A sparky academic study of the rise of Ukip'.</strong></p><p>"<em>Revolt on the Right</em> is a rich and insightful dissection of Britain's first new major political force in a generation. Ford and Goodwin combine rigorous yet accessible statistical analysis of UKIP's supporters with unprecedented access to party activists and leaders. They paint a detailed portrait of the social forces driving UKIP's emergence and how the party itself has developed to mobilise a new mass electorate. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand this fascinating, and potentially disruptive, new force in British politics." Anthony Heath, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Oxford, and Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester.</p><p>"Ford and Goodwin haven’t just talked to everyone who counts and crunched all the data that’s out there. They’ve produced a really approachable book on a party which, by providing disoriented and disillusioned voters with the alternative they’ve been looking for, may well make a big impact at the next election and beyond." Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London, author of <i>The Conservative Party: From Thatcher to Cameron</i></p><p>"<em>Revolt on the Right</em> is not just a timely and fascinating book; it is also an important one: the first detailed study of one of the most significant developments in modern British politics – the rise of UKIP, which not only taps into popular discontent with the European Union, but has emerged as Britain’s first major non-toxic party to the right of the Conservatives." Peter Kellner, President of YouGov.</p><p>"An essential analysis of the phenomenon that is UKIP in the run up to the 2015 General Election. Vital for anyone studying modern British politics seriously." Ben Page, Chief Executive of Ipsos MORI.</p><p>"As the first serious study of the biggest challenge to the political status quo in 30 years, Revolt on the Right will be hard to better. It is both a garish picture of what the British right looks like when it has had one beer too many, and a sympathetic and occasionally touching account of the frustrations of the white working class voters progressive culture and conservative economics have decided they can do without." Nick Cohen, <em>The Observer</em>. </p><p>"A forensic insight into the explosive rise of Britain's radical right, packed full of compelling research and first-rate analysis. A must-read for all those interested in the state of modern Britain." Owen Jones, columnist for <i>The Independent</i> and author of <em>CHAVS: The Demonization of the Working Class</em>.</p><p>"This is an outstanding contribution to understanding contemporary politics: a rigorous assessment of the attitudes and demographics of UKIP voters as well as a brilliant story of the people and feuds behind the disorderly rise of a popular movement." John Rentoul, Chief Politicial Commentator, <em>The Independent on Sunday</em>.</p><p>"UKIP – a quixotic project to transform UK politics or the catalyst for partisan realignment? Read Ford and Goodwin’s comprehensive and expert analysis before trying to resolve the question." Professor Michael Thrasher, The Elections Centre, Plymouth University, UK.</p><p>"This book presents an insightful and highly informative analysis of the most significant independent challenge to the existing party system in England. It is a must read for anyone interested in the future of British politics." John Curtice, Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University and a research consultant for ScotCen Social Research.</p><p> "The book is rich in analytical data and contains the occasional anecdotal gem." Kiran Stacey, <em>Financial Times</em> Political Correspondent.</p><p>"<em>Revolt on the Right</em> is a must-read book for all politicians of the main parties as well as the political commentariat." - Keith Simpson, Conservative MP for Broadland and PPS to the Foreign Secretary.</p>
