It’s not out for another six months or so, but *Electoral Realignment: How Brexit Reshaped British Voting Behaviour*, my book with Ed Fieldhouse, @profjanegreen.bsky.social , Geoff Evans, @jack-bailey.co.uk and @jonmellon.bsky.social, is up on the OUP website! global.oup.com/academic/pro...

We use more than sixty years of British Election Study data to examine how electoral shocks - and Brexit in particular - have transformed the relationship between voters’ social characteristics, political values and party choices.

We argue that Brexit - and the parties’ reactions to it - lead to a sorting process that accelerated a longer-term realignment of British politics around age, education and social values.

No doubt you’ll all be rushing to pre-order the hardcover for the bargain price of £95 (😬), but should that prove a little steep, we’re pleased to say that the electronic version will be available open access, i.e. free!
