Concluding CommentsReviews“This highly original, readable and illuminating book explains with crystal clarity what exactly has gone wrong with our ministerial leaders.” Sir Anthony Seldon, University of Buckingham, UK “Bill Jones draws upon a wealth of knowledge and evidence to produce a truly fascinating book. He addresses some key questions which are rarely satisfactorily answered. Why do some people want to become politicians? What do they hope to achieve? How do they negotiate (or fail to) a game of political promotions akin to snakes and ladders? Is the old adage that all political careers end in failure really true? Avoiding lazy cynicism or unsupported assertions, Jones draws upon numerous astute political observations and examples spanning several decades to explain what makes politicians tick and whether they really do make a difference. This is a must-read book for anyone interested in politics.” Jon Tonge, Professor of Politics, University of Liverpool, UK Author InformationBill Jones is Honorary Professor of Political Studies at Liverpool Hope University, UK.
