Our Fight for Democracy: A History of Democracy in the United Kingdom

We think of the United Kingdom as a long established democracy. Yet in this book John Strafford shows how we now face a huge democratic deficit. How did this situation occur John Strafford charts the history of democracy from the 6th century to the 21st century. He analyses the weaknesses of our democracy today and suggests ways in which it can be improved. At a time when our political system faces moral bankruptcy this book is a contribution to the debate on what can be done to restore the people's trust.
