Politics: Cutting Through the Crap

Bali Rai

‘This is NOT a textbook. This is not a balanced or fair guide to politics in the UK. It’s a short, simply written, biased guide…’ So says Bali Rai in the opening paragraph. He speaks his mind with humour, perfectly complemented by Chris Riddell’s illustrations. He covers basic political ideas and facts, the main political parties and major issues like global warming and the war on terror. Lists of useful websites and books are included for further reading.
