Produktbeschreibung
In his uniquely straightforward and accessible style, political insider Graham Steele pulls back the curtain on our political system and gives readers a look inside. A lawyer, analyst, former Nova Scotia cabinet minister, and author of the Globe & Mail bestselling memoir What I Learned About Politics, Steele answers the burning questions of Canadians: Who really runs the parties? What does a backbencher do? How does a citizen effectively navigate the system, and achieve change through a politician? What is "truthiness?" A primer for anyone who wants to become a politician or influence one, The Effective Citizen explains how politicians think and what factors influence that thinking, how to interpret the "non-answer" in political speech, and acknowledges that in politics, bland is safe." Ideal for political neophytes and junkies all the same, Steele’s newest book will have the whole country talking.
