Sinopse
Shortlisted for the Political Books Awards ‘Best Parliamentary Memoir 2018’
You are not an executive who can make and enforce decisions. You are a legislator who votes on making laws.
You are not a counsellor, a housing officer, benefits clerk, bank or trading standards officer, but you are often expected to provide a new home, sort out benefits, provide a loan, or settle a dispute about a computer game bought for little Jimmy that doesn't work.
You are, in fact, a 21st-century Member of Parliament representing about 125,000 good folk from your constituency by taking your seat in probably the finest parliament in the world (despite what you may read or hear in the media).
You are elected by a simple majority from roughly 50,000 people who mark their ‘X’ by your name at a general election, hoping that you will be able to make a difference somehow.
Then, when as a new MP, you walk through the Members Lobby filled with a vision of how you will leave your mark on this place and this nation, what you are almost certainly unaware of is that your constituents, your government, the press, and the very institution of the Palace of Westminster have other plans for you.
