Description:
The main aim of this report is to provide a discursive analysis of the way that politicians and the press depicted Britishness in the past three general elections.
During general election campaigns politicians and the media discuss at length what might be good or bad politically and economically for the country. It is therefore to be expected that issues of nationhood would feature during campaigns. As it happened, in all three elections the issue of nationhood featured more directly as a campaign issue in itself.
This research involved looking at the speeches of the political leaders of the main parties and at the coverage of the campaigns in the national press. The research used discourse analysis to explore the subtleties of meaning. The research also drew upon and re-analysed quantitative studies that the Loughborough Communications Centre conducted of press coverage of the 1997, 2001 and 2005 general elections.
