Full Description
Shrouded in mystery, political whips play a pivotal role in
the functioning of the UK's democracy. But rumours
abound about the tactics used behind the scenes to urge
MPs to vote in the desired division lobbies. As politicians
find refuge on social media and parliamentary dark arts
come under the spotlight, do whips still hold the upper
hand?
The Usual Channels pulls back the curtain on one of
Westminster's most curious elements: the
inner workings of the whips' office. It shows us the
mechanics of the whips' office; how it operates; who's in it; the different forms of whipping, both positive and
negative; the history and importance of whips; and some
of the more notorious characters who have held the position.
