Peter Hitchens explains how and why British politics has sunk to this dreary level - the takeover of the parties and the media by conventional left-wing dogmas which then call themselves 'the centre ground'. The Tory party under David Cameron has become a pale-blue twin of New Labour, offering change without alteration. Hitchens, a former Lobby reporter, examines and mocks the flock mentality of most Westminster journalists, explainPolitical cultureGreat BritainPolitical partiesGreat BritainRight and left (Political science)Great BritainPolitics and government2007-Electronic books.Political culturePolitical partiesRight and left (Political science)320.94109051Hitchens Peter1951-860279Hitchens Peter1951-860279MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459132503321The Cameron delusion1919506UNINA
