The Shakespeare and Company Interview
Arts:Books
In How Westminster Works and Why it Doesn’t Ian Dunt blows the cobwebs out of the arcane nooks and crannies of the British political system, demystifying it with his clear, compelling, and entertaining prose. He also shines a light upon how the system as it stands does not, in fact, work and, indeed, is often designed not to work. How Westminster Works and Why it Doesn’t leaves the reader feeling more knowledgable—as you would hope—but also angrier and more energised, more equipped to engage, to argue and perhaps even to change things for the better.
