Politics, But Better

Tatton Spiller

An A–Z guide to rediscovering the heart of our democracy and making the world a better place

Strikes across the country. A prime minister resigning after just forty-four days. Accusations of bullying in the House of Commons. Our politics and our democracy appear to be fundamentally broken. But that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost.

Politics, But Better will look at the very fabric of our system and what improvements can be made. Exploring 26 issues in UK politics, from A to Z –including censorship, elections, insults and u-turns –it clearly lays out the problems and challenges we face, and puts forward possible solutions. Looking at a variety of ideas and real-world examples, it will encourage us to rethink the fundamental ways we do things, to question the status quo, and to chart a path towards a more hopeful future.

Respect and understanding are at the heart of this book, promoting open debate, tolerance and compassion as the cornerstones of a reformed political landscape. Politics is about improving the world – and we can do better.
