| Synopsis: |
Echoing Gandhi's verdict on Western civilization, Graham Allen thinks the British constitution would be a very good idea. In "The Last Prime Minister", he showed the British people how they had acquired an executive presidency by stealth. It was the first-ever attempt to codify the Prime Minister's powers, many hidden in the mysteries of the royal prerogative. This timely new edition takes in new issues, including Parliament's impotence over Iraq. |
