The Smallest Room in the House: Political oddities to read in more than one sitting

The best politics "loo" book you will ever buy! Based on Philip Cowley's fascinating column in The House magazine, this is a book perfect for multiple sittings, discussing the politics of fights, cockroaches, riots, potholes, beards, and much more besides. The 50 chapters explain the political relevance of chip shops and football grounds, what your lawn tells you about your voting, and why politicians need to pay especial care in Scunthorpe; they explain what politicians think of voters, why they all claim to be local, and why they are all now so inexperienced. With additional grumpy complaints about bats, overly-long constituency names and the idea of giving the vote to 16 year olds, it's a book that will appeal to the sort of person who likes to tell you that, actually, it's all a bit more complicated than that...
