Description

"In this devastating and alarming book Peter Oborne argues that we have witnessed not just the emergence but the triumph of the Political Class: the new ruling elite of Britain, a group characterised by its professionalised attitude to politics rather than old-fashioned ideology, and which has made party-political differences nonexistent in its pursuit of power and patronage." "Assembling his evidence with riveting and forensic skill, Peter Oborne shows how the Political Class -along with its counterpart and collaborator, the Media Class - has changed the very nature of government in twenty-first-century Britain. Brilliantly and grippingly argued, The Triumph of the Political Class shows the chilling reality of how things really work in the mother of all parliaments. It is one of the most important works of political analysis since Anthony Sampson's The Anatomy of Britain."--Jacket.
