British Political Parties and National Identity : A Changing Discourse 1997-2010 / Pauline Schnapper. - Newcastle-upon-Tyne : Cambridge Scholars Publishing, (c)2020. - 1 online resource (175 pages)

Includes bibliographies and index.

This study is about party political discourses on national identity in Britain under the New Labour governments (1997-2010). Britishness has become a major theme in the British political debate since the end of the second world war, and even more so since the early 1990s, either directly or through discussions of specific issues like immigration, Europe or devolution to Scotland and Wales. Numerous political leaders have publicly worried about the weakness of the common citizenship in the UK and the threat to the survival of Britishness, which has been the only common thread in competing disco.
