Description
"Andrew Marr analyses the real sources of power in Britain and the threats to our democracy. He argues that the political traditions of which we are rightly so proud need to be restored, and that our institutions are in urgent need of repair." "Looking beyond the traditional centres of influence - the Monarchy, the Lords, the St. James's Street clubs, the judiciary - Andrew Marr focuses on the less established but in his view more potent sources of power, such as the market, the organized lobbies, the media and the quangos. Beginning in the domain of the ordinary voter, he tramps through the ever-widening realms of the local parties, councils and quangos; to the Commons, the State, the lobbyists and pressure groupies; and to the wider world of European and global power beyond. In each case he asks: who really has power, and should a democrat be worried?"--BOOK JACKET.
