Welcome to the blog set up by Pauline Schnapper, Professor of British Civilisation at the University of Paris 3.

Here, you will find material for the Second Year class in British civilisation as well as the M1 and M2 seminars, including class schedules, reading lists and documents. You will also find a summary of British politics, with a special emphasis on my 'favourite' topics, ie political parties, institutions, Europe and foreign policy, and links to useful sites.

The Glenrothes by-election

Gordon Brown's improving situation was confirmed yesterday, when the SNP failed to win the Glenrothes seat in Scotland. Although originally a safe Labour seat, the constituency had been expected to switch to the SNP when the PM was so unpopular. In the end, Labour managed to keep it, though with a reduced majority of 6,000 and a swing of almost 5% to the SNP. This is undoubtedly a personal victory for Brown, who campaigned there, and confirms that the economic crisis has helped him in the polls.
