Mój fav rodziła to ostatni rodziła bo autor w nim tylko obraża brexit. Reszty chyba nie zrozumiałam.

It's not a book of which you would say, it makes you love the topic, even if you don't care about the topic. But if you are interested, it gives a good, quick introduction to some of the basics of British politics.

It’s all my fault for not researching the book better. In the description it says that “Tony Wright's Very Short Introduction to British Politics is an interpretative essay on the British political system, rather than merely an abbreviated textbook on how it currently works”. Several other review here on Goodreads mention that it does not talk about the mechanics and the basics of British politics.
… except that that was what I was searching for. I wanted a book to clearly explain me how it all worked (‘all’ being the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the shadow cabinet, the parliament, the relationship of confidence, etc). But such knowledge appears to be assumed already known.
