Description: An account of Martin Bell's unplanned career in Parliament following his retirement from the BBC TV news team in 1997, this book details his successful campaign for M.P. of Tatton against Neil Hamilton, his unique perspective on democracy and the role of the individual within the House of Commons.
Synopsis: After the most unusual and quixotic campaign of recent memory, Martin Bell was elected to Parliament by a landslide as an Independent - a species thought to have been extinct since 1950. This book is an account of that campaign and the fascinating years in Parliament that followed -constituency work, committee work and trying to find an independent place in the traditional structures of the House of Commons. It is a perspective on democracy, the role of an individual within Parliament and a fresh account of an entirely unexpected career.
