An excellent introduction.
Tam Dalyell, Father of the House, 2001-2005
The more we know how to change things, the more we know how to make things better. And this book is an important tool in the toolbox.
Caroline Lucas MP
This book is well-informed and clearly written - read it for an accurate and empowering understanding of how our democracy works, or could work.
Professor Gerry Stoker, Director of the Centre for Citizenship, Globalization and Governance, University of Southampton
A ground-up account of the democratic process in the UK... identifies some of the problems with the dream of digital democracy, arguing that the power is still ours
Philip Maughan, New Statesman - NS Recommends
Highly readable and fascinating... an enjoyable narrative... These and many more revelations transform what sounds like an unpromising subject into an unexpected page-turner. Jellinek deserves huge credit for this.
Chris Moncrieff, Northern Echo
Not a book for political nerds, although even they may find some new nuggets of information within. Instead he is writing for members of the general public. This a book that I would warmly recommend.
Mary Reid, Liberal Democrat Voice
**** Amid the general climate of cynicism about party politics, he sees an appetite for active citizenship, empowered by the internet as well as the ballot box.
The Law Society Gazette
A refreshing take on the UK political system and our role in shaping it.
