Review
Lord Weatherill, Speaker of the House of Commons (1983-1992), Cross-Bench Convenor (1995-1999) "Anyone who is concerned about the serious lack of interest in the parliamentary system, should read this book." Professor Robert Hazell, Director, The Constitution Unit, University College London "Pithy, pungent, provocative -- Keith Sutherland is becoming the Hazlitt of our age." Tam Dalyell MP, Father of the House "I shall reccomend Keith Sutherland's challenging contribution The Party's Over." Nevil Johnson, Nuffield College, Oxford, author, In Search of the Constitution; Reshaping the British Constitution "A challenging attempt to think beyond parties and the domination of political life in Britain by them." Professor Michael Rush, University of Exeter, author, The Role of the Member of Parliament Since 1868 "As always, Keith Sutherland is thoroughly thought-provoking, challenging politicians, academics and students alike." Vernon Bogdanor, Times Higher Education Supplement A spirited and unpretentious polemic that repays reflection, especially perhaps by those who do not share its author's political standpoint. Graham Allen MP, Tribune An extremely valuable contribution, not least beacause it will encourage debate about democracy ... a subversive and necessary read. The Ecologist Sutherland's timely book examines why British politics has descended into the quagmire in which it now squirms. Sir Richard Body, Salisbury Review His analysis is superb ... No one can read this book without realising that something radical, even revolutionary must be done. M.A.K. Smith, Right Now! "An erudite overview of British constitutional history ... Sutherland's survey of party decline is impeccable in its erudition."
