Why We Get the Wrong Politicians

This book explores the reasons behind the public's mistrust of politicians in the UK. It examines recent scandals, including issues of expenses, sexual harassment, and illicit gatherings, highlighting how these events have contributed to a decline in political credibility. The author argues that many legislative efforts fail to achieve their intended outcomes, resulting in significant financial and social repercussions. By analysing the systemic issues within politics, the book seeks to understand why the electorate often chooses unsuitable candidates and how this cycle can be broken.
