‘Jaw-dropping’ Daily Telegraph’A timely examination of how the distribution of power has shifted’ Guardian Where does power lie in Britain today? Is our system of government still fit for purpose? A revelatory guide from the esteemed expert in British government and politics The British system has been radically transformed in recent decades, far more than most of us realize. As acclaimed political scientist and bestselling author Anthony King shows, this transformation lies at the heart of British politics today. Imagining – or pretending – that the British political system and Britain’s place in the world have not greatly changed, our political leaders consistently promise more than they can perform.

In Who Governs Britain?, King offers the first assessment in many years of Britain’s governing arrangements as a whole, providing much needed context for the upcoming election.
