The British system has been radically transformed in recent decades far more than most of us realise As acclaimed political scientist & bestselling author Anthony King shows this transformation lies at the heart of British politics today Imagining
- or pretending
- that the British political system & Britain's place in the world have not greatly changed our political leaders consistently promise more than they can perform Political & economic power is now widely dispersed both inside & outside the UK but Westminster politicians still talk the language of Attlee & Churchill How exactly has the British system changed? Where does power now lie? In Who Governs Britain? King offers the first assessment in many years of Britain's governing arrangements as a whole providing much needed context for the 2015 general election
