Product Description

Review

“It’s a rare treat to find such a comprehensive and authoritative guide that is written with such elegance and can be read with such pleasure.”

Sir Antony Jay, writer, Yes Minister

 

 “When the British constitution is in such flux, describing today’s Parliament might seem like drawing on water. But in this account Robert Rogers and Rhodri Walters have achieved the near- impossible; it is clear, elegant, invaluable, bang up-to-date and full of dry wit.”

Andrew Marr, BBC Political Editor, 2000-2005

 

“Acute observation and analysis of the tensions and potential of Parliament. This book is required reading for anyone interested in the evolution of democracy.”

Tam Dalyell, MP, 1962-2005 and Father of the House, 2001-2005

 

“An indispensable guide to anyone who is truly concerned about our democratic process. A splendidly helpful book.”

Sir Patrick Cormack FSA, MP

 

“A must for everyone who needs to know about Parliament. Comprehensive and authoritative, this really is how Parliament works.”

Betty Boothroyd (The Rt. Hon. The Baroness Boothroyd OM), Speaker of the House of Commons, 1992-2000

 

“The great virtue of How Parliament Works is that it not only explains the mysteries of what happens in the Palaceof Westminster, but also shows why they matter.”

Peter Riddell, Chief Political Commentator of The Times

 

“Much more than a clear and concise introduction to Parliament. Despite my years as a political scientist, I gained a lot of new insights.”

Professor Gerry Stoker, University of Manchester



Product Description

Although Parliament is constantly in the news and televised daily, much of its work remains a mystery to outsiders and is sometimes perplexing even to its own members. This book provides a unique insight into the work and daily life of Parliament. It sets out plainly and intelligibly what goes on and why things happen, but it also analyses the pressures within the institution, its strengths and weaknesses, and ways in which it might change.

Covering every aspect of the work, membership, and structures of both Houses, this book also reflects the profound changes that have taken place in Parliament over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, clear and informative., 18 Sep 2004
This review is from: How Parliament Works (Paperback)
For those of us interested in politics but with no education in the subject, battling through the jargon of Westminster can often be a trial. No more! From MPs' salaries to explanations of the 10 Minute Bill, this book conveys everything you could ever want to know about government with style and panache.
