Fixing Broken Britain: A Blueprint for National Revival
How did the UK end up in such a mess and how can it get out of it? This incisive book delves beyond the Westminster psychodramas and reveals the country's underlying flaws that prevent it from becoming a modern democracy and a successful economy. Alun Drake exposes the many shortcomings of Britain's decaying democracy, with its dysfunctional parliament building, ramshackle constitution, unfair voting system, absurd House of Lords and winner-takes-all political culture. He also examines the country's two-tier, class-ridden education system that stifles social mobility. Undervalued and underpaid state schoolteachers, an increasingly out-dated curriculum and crumbling classrooms are among the problems clinically laid bare. Employing a blend of black humour and razor-sharp analysis the author charts a radical course of reform to fix Broken Britain and allow it to navigate its way back to genuine democracy, prosperity and a social contract that works for everyone. "Brilliant, insightful, reasonable, considered, and careful - Alun Drake spells out key home truths about the UK clearly, kindly and concisely." Danny Dorling, author of Shattered Nation "I have seldom read such a well-researched book which deals so comprehensively with the ills of the British economy and the broader political system. It is very convincing." William Keegan, Observer columnist
