Product Description
Synopsis
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics - and then there are the uses to which politicians put those statistics...First book of its kind Endlessly fascinating, often controversial, always revealing Accessible and non-technical Arranged by theme: immigration, law and order, the economy, taxation, housing, public spending, etc. etc. Statistics are the most volatile ammunition in the political armoury. One party's increase can be spun by the other side as a decrease, statistical goalposts are regularly moved as methods of calculation shift, and figures are viewed through a distorting lens. Replete with charts, tables and graphs but written in a highly explanatory and accessible manner, Britain in Numbers: The Essential Political Statistics delivers just the "independent, trustworthy data" needed by all who would be properly involved about the political and social landscape of Britain.
