A good read. The book serves as a warning to complacency and voter apathy by tracking the current state of British politics to a point where there are no longer any elections or freedom of speech. The book didn't tell me much that I didn't know about British politics but did get me thinking about what my future might be if I didn't exercise my democratic rights. After a period of not voting, I will be voting for the candidate who is most likely to listen and respect my trust placed in them. ( )
