Reviews / Votes
'[A] unique textbook on politics. The range of authors gives both an authority and immediacy to the collection. There is a real feel for the political process, particularly Parliament, often absent in more conventional textbooks. Most MPs, as well as students, could profitably read this book.' - Peter RiddellMore details
