Artykuł dotyczy dynamiki ewolucji brytyjskich partii politycznych oraz brytyjskiego systemu partyjnego w XXI wieku. W badaniu postawiono hipotezę, że konfiguracja systemu partyjnego Zjednoczonego Królestwa Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii Północnej w okresie ostatniego ćwierćwiecza uwarunkowana była zmianami w sferze ideologiczno-programowej, organizacyjnej oraz modelu przywództwa partyjnego w brytyjskich partiach politycznych. Hipoteza ta została zweryfikowana w oparciu o zróżnicowane metody badawcze, m.in. analizę zawartości dokumentów, analizę danych oraz analizę komparatystyczną. Autorzy w treści artykułu poddają analizie zmiany w wymiarze programowym oraz organizacyjnym, a także ewolucję modelu przywództwa w brytyjskich partiach politycznych. Wskazują także, w jakim stopniu tego rodzaju zmiany wpływają na przeobrażenia brytyjskiego systemu partyjnego – zarówno na arenie wyborczej, jak i parlamentarnej.

The article is devoted to the dynamics of changes in British political parties and the British party system in the 21st century. The main objective of the analysis is to verify the hypothesis that the configuration of the party system of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland over the last quarter of a century was conditioned by changes in the ideological, programmatic and organisational spheres, as well as the model of party leadership in British political parties. This hypothesis will be verified by various research methods, including document content analysis, data analysis and comparative analysis. The authors analyse changes in the programme and organisational dimensions, as well as the evolution of the leadership model in British political parties. They also indicate the extent, to which such changes influence the transformation of the British party system – both in the electoral and parliamentary arenas.
