Pressezitat
"The state of the United Kingdom has been both unsettled and unsettling in recent times. This book is a tonic for the disconcerted. Professor Andrew Blick deftly identifies both the symptoms and the causes of the current instability, with clear evidence and explanation. As an expert on the UK's constitution, he also identifies some cures. The reader is left feeling better equipped and informed, albeit rather less inclined towards complacency."Katy Hayward, Professor of Political Sociology, Queen's University Belfast
"In recent years, supposedly stable democracies have come to be afflicted by populism and backsliding. As Blick shows in this powerful work, the UK has been no exception. The author, however, not only identifies problems, but also puts them in perspective and proposes means by which we might begin to correct them. A valuable and original book."
Prof. Graham Allen, King's College London, former Chair of the House of Commons Political and Constitutional Reform Committee and MP for Nottingham North, 1987-2017
