Reviews
Allen's book, and the current political quagmire, make a convincing case that wholesale electoral reform - a phrase that has rarely quickened a newsroom pulse - should be higher up the agenda. * Daniel Clarke, Times Literary Supplement *
A valuable intervention which will provoke many to think about how we can and should make politics 'something that happens here with us and not there with them'. * Lawrence McKay, LSE Review of Books *
The balanced case for why educating future leaders in a few elite institutions is such a very bad idea. * Danny Dorling, author Do We Need Economic Inequality? *
The Political Class should become a key point of reference for those concerned about why parliament fails to reflect the make-up of the society it governs, and what exactly we can and should do about it. * Michael Kenny, Professor of Public Policy, University of Cambridge *
