Book synopsis

The relationships between narrative and leadership,§between rhetoric and performance, between doctrine and its voicing, are crucial§to party politics and are underrated by both practising politicians and§scholars. This study analyses the 'performance of leadership' in the UK Labour§Party, and what this means for a new approach to understanding politics. The§main focus of this study is the five-year leadership of Ed Miliband, 2010-2015.§The fortunes of the party and the party leadership can be apprehended as a§series of performed rhetorical events. A political leader's persona is a§construction that performs - rather like an actor - in the political space. The§author identifies and analyses the architecture and the modalities of§leadership persona construction and performance in contemporary politics.§
