About this title

Synopsis

Are personal or financial scandals the only way for British MPs to 'raise their profile'? Has this profile raising become more important than working for the good of the country? Is Parliament unique in its make-up of miscreants and mavericks or is it simply a reflection of society itself? As we peer in at them do we see ourselves reflected back in the mirror? The book sorts the wheat from the chaff, substance from spin, but most importantly, after the balloons have burst, it gives sane, measured advice for the next team up to bat. WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THERE? is hilarious, irreverent but deadly serious - this is Parliment after all. NB: An interactive web-site will also accompany the launch of this book.
