I Never Promised You a Rose Garden: An Insider's Guide to Coalition, the General Election and false promises, past, present or future...

3.5/5 ( ratings)

John Crace takes no prisoners. This must-read guide to Westminster and the forthcoming General Election includes:

- The countdown to the General Election 2015: five years of planning since the last one.

- The realities of Coalition - Cameron and Clegg behind closed doors,

- How Labour came to get the wrong Miliband as leader.

- The Big Topics - Europe, Immigration, Education, Phone Hacking, and the Economy

- UKIP and other acronyms to be dubious about,

- The role of the 'Special Advisor',

- A role call of Big names with an interest in screwing things up for their own side,

- How David Cameron's real enemies are all outside parliament - UKIP; Boris; Scotland.

- Why being foreign secretary is so cushy: you can't really achieve anything, so you can't really fail.

- The pre-election battle for the post-election fallout -- open campaigning against the party leader just in case...

Plus:

- Those conversations you're certain the politicians have had but have never been reported.

- And the election diary of Raisa - the Police Horse.

Insightful, painful and hilarious, whichever side you thought you were on.
