Abstract
A model is proposed to explain why parties in Britain have usually enjoyed a jump in popularity following the selection of a new leader. Three variables are used to explain the size of these boosts. Parties can expect a greater jump when: the party is below its normal level of support; economic circumstances are in the party's favour; and the opposing leader has been in place a long time.
