Description


In a world of fake news and populist politics, elections can seem like theatre. Taking ten examples, this book argues that elections do matter (even when you think they don’t). It is not just elections with memorable jingles or triumphant campaigns that can shape the nation. Elections Matter examines how the democratic process could have produced a different country.
