[Seb Rattansen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, finally finished reading this TOME. Very comprehensive book. Well written. I now feel like a novice on UK politics. Definitely recommend if you want an all-in-one reference book.

[Marcel Patulacci · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Politics UK" is a dense and strenuous reading but definitely a great starter for anyone interested in gaining general insights on British Politics thanks to a very comprehensive content. This textbook is furthermore cleverly structured and provides extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, which might come in handy, if you intend to tackle a specific topic more in-depth.
