Reviews / Votes
'The indispensable source for anyone writing, thinking, researching or even arguing about recent politics...if it's not there, it didn't happen.' Peter Riddell, Senior Fellow, Institute for Government
'In the half-century since this series started, British Political Facts has become truly indispensible. Those who practice politics, or seek to follow it closely, might be able to bluff their way without having the book to hand; but those who are wise don't even try.' - Peter Kellner
'...every politically conscious home should have one...' - New Statesman
'[an] invaluable reference book...[it] is a mine of facts, figures and information about politics and Parliament covering a full 110 years from 1900 to 2010.' - Conservative Home
