Tom Nairn Książki

First Vintage Books Edition, March 1973. Mild shelf wear, small tear at top of back cover, pages moderately tanned, and spine has creases from reading. Everything looks good and perfectly readable. Overall pretty decent condition.

The book examines the absurdity of Tony Blair's New Labour plebiscite, highlighting the paradox of a constitutional revolution that resulted in an overwhelming victory from a mere fraction of the electorate. It critiques the collapse of political legitimacy in the UK, comparing it to the farcical state of the U.S. Constitution in 2000. Through probing questions, it explores the disintegration of Britain as a stable democracy and considers whether it can be mended or if such repair is even necessary.
