British Politics: A Very Short Introduction by Tony Wright
5.0
As others have noted, this is not a dry, technical discussion of the British political system. Rather it is an astute insider’s critique of that system and a description of how it actually works. Along with this comes an insightful discussion of the associated issues raised by this system.
As someone living in a country currently undergoing a constitutional crisis, the insights into how similar issues arise in another country, provides a fascinating perspective.
In general, this book raises one big question: which is more important, the system of government or the people in the government? It more and more seems the latter. It seems, across most countries, that the current political class comes from the very bottom of the barrel.
