Description
In 1977, Jeremy Akerman, then the leader of the New Democratic Party in Nova Scotia and a member of the legislature, painted a word picture of the politician's life. From getting elected to staying elected, from working the in the legislature to helping constituents to trying to find time for family and home life, Akerman spun a funny and heartbreaking tale what it is like to serve in elected office.
What Have You Done for Me Lately? has been out of print for far too long, and Moose House is delighted to make it available to a new generation of readers. In a new foreword to this edition, the author brings us up to date on what has changed over the past 46 years...and what has not.
