The Truth About Westminster
Dr Patrick Dixon MBE: Futurist Keynote Speaker -Futurist Books - free books on Future Trends
This important book takes us behind the sleaze headlines to ask what life is really like at Westminster, the mother of all Parliaments? Inside 10 Downing Street on the first day of research, Dr Dixon found that he had open access to the heart of power.He swiftly found himself in battles with libel lawyers and powerful figures in public life who feared disclosure. Thousands of pounds later, with a new publisher, "The Truth about Westminster" finally rolled off the presses.
One former Minister said:
"In a dictatorship I would have been bumped off - I knew too much. Instead I was sacked"
"MPs confessed things to me that made my hair stand on end, The rot is deep and a change ofgovernment won't be enough to root it all out."
"Few MPs are corrupt but thesystem itself is corrupting, and encourages secrecy together with abuse of power. Most people regard politicians with contempt. Unless Westminster thoroughly reforms itself the place will die, losing powers toEurope on the one hand and to Scottish and other regional assemblies on the other."
"The Truth about Westminster" is published by Kingsway
