In 2019, it looked like the electoral map of Britain had been changed forever, with once solidly Labour constituencies voting Conservative for the first time. An epochal realignment seemed to be in train that saw the Conservative electoral coalition become much more Northern and working class and Labour depending more on middle class voters in the South. Only a few years later, the realignment lies in ruins. The Red Wall has returned to Labour, and it's clear 2019 was a blip. Tories are now jostling amongst themselves to be seen as the heirs to Thatcher. It's almost like the promise of change and levelling up was a fever dream as political parties and voters revert to type. What happened? And what can be done? The Conservatives made a big promise to Red Wall voters in 2019, speaking openly about first-time Conservative voters 'lending' their support and promising. In reality, that was quickly forgotten and the realignment was put in the 'too difficult' box, in preference of Thatcherite cosplaying that appealed to a tiny core of Tory members but didn't address the real problems that the country faced. But the politics behind it cannot be ignored. This book will address what went wrong with the so-called realignment and what needs to be done to revive it.

The proliferation of messages that the voting public is exposed to in the digital age means it has never been more important to use the right slogan or phrase in order to capture people's attention. Over the course of an extraordinary career advising organisations and candidates of all political persuasions, strategist and pollster Chris Bruni-Lowe has developed a clear understanding of what language moves people to action. To that end, he assembled a database comprising 20,000 slogans used in major elections worldwide over the past century, scrutinised the results and assessed all other relevant factors, allowing him to evaluate how effective any slogan is in delivering an election result. This amazing store of information revealed the remarkable fact that over the past 100 years just eight 'hit' words have been central to the successful outcome of most major elections. Based on information produced by his database, plus extensive interviews with more than 100 politicians, advisers, academics, marketing executives and behavioural scientists, this utterly unique book sets out to identify what makes an election slogan successful - according to those who have been involved in creating them and using them. Each chapter focuses on one of the eight words and shows how it has contributed to changing the world. Those who have devised a slogan using one of the eight words will explain how they came up with it and offer their assessment of its effectiveness.
