Exclusive to Juncture, political historian and biographer Anthony Seldon offers his first take on the Cameron premiership, and contends that the Conservative leader will be judged well when viewed against an unprecedented set of challenges and constraints.

British independent schools are under more scrutiny today than at any point in their history. Never before have so many of the British elites wanted to use their services, and never before have they been so reluctant to spring to their defence. The independent schools are the victims of their own success. While continuing to outperform the state sector in academic achievements, rising fees have lifted them beyond the reach of much of the middle-class bedrock that has filled their classrooms over the generations, and they are recruiting increasing numbers of affluent foreign pupils. Adapted from the source document.

The British general election of May 2010 delivered the first coalition government since the Second World War. David Cameron and Nick Clegg pledged a 'new politics' with the government taking office in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. Five years on, a team of leading experts drawn from academia, the media, Parliament, Whitehall and think tanks assesses this 'coalition effect' across a broad range of policy areas. Adopting the contemporary history approach, this pioneering book addresses academic and policy debates across this whole range of issues. Did the coalition represent the natural 'next step' in party dealignment and the evolution of multi-party politics? Was coalition in practice a historic innovation in itself, or did the essential principles of Britain's uncodified constitution remain untroubled? Fundamentally, was the coalition able to deliver on its promises made in the coalition agreement, and what were the consequences - for the country and the parties - of this union?
