Abolish Westminster

Britain's Broken Political System and an Argument for a New Democracy

From a bold new voice in political commentary and investigative journalism, a piercing dissection of the democratic crisis faced by Britain today.

From a bold new voice in political commentary and investigative journalism, a piercing dissection of the democratic crisis faced by Britain today.

Go to any street in Britain and ask people what they think about politics, and most will tell you that it is broken, that they 'don't trust any of them' - our politicians. In other words, they believe our system doesn't work, or that it works only for a chosen few, the elites.

A searing work of political analysis, Abolish Westminster makes the case that most people are in fact correct: our politics is broken. Lifting the lid on the British state and society, Abolish Westminster explains why. Examining the lack of accountability faced by our major governmental departments, the pliancy of our cultural institutions and the malleability of national identity, it reveals how power and money are often bent back to the powerful and wealthy - and how, historically, this has almost always been the case, producing disastrous effects.
