About the Book

Shortlisted for the 2018 Waterstones Book of the Year Shortlisted for the 2018 Parliamentary Book Awards (best political book by a non-parliamentarian) 'A really good book'... Well-structured and well-written.' - Observer 'Well written and incisive.' - The Times 'Vital and compelling.' - New Statesman In an era when politicians are responsible for the Brexit logjam and embroiled in sexual-harassment and expenses scandals, it's no wonder we've lost our faith in government. Every year, they introduce new legislation that doesn't do what it sets out to achieve - often with terrible financial and human costs. But, with some notable exceptions, they are decent, hard-working people, doing a hugely difficult and demanding job. In this searching examination of our political class, award-winning journalist Isabel Hardman investigates the strange and demanding world of Westminster, and asks why we end up with representatives we no longer trust - and how might faith be restored.

Hardman's well-written, incisive book provides a good compass with which to navigate this changing landscape A fast-paced, intelligent dissection of modern politics, packed full of juicy anecdotes and insider knowledge A must-read for anyone who wants to change the way they think about politicians and how they vote.
