The British Polity by Philip Norton (University of Hull, UK)

The British Polity is an engaging and comprehensive survey of the structure and process of British government.

Throughout, The British Polity follows a theme of continuity and change that draws on historical and institutional knowledge and that helps to explain contemporary British politics.
