ODE TO POLITICS
Beverley Tasker

Incisive, succinct and free from political spin, HB Tasker's 96 page Ode to Politics is a direct descendant of the satirical works of Dryden, Swift and Pope. It blows apart the cosy catch phrases and neat slogans that characterise our recent politics.

'There is to much at stake,' Tasker says, 'to let our politicians get away with it any longer.'

Ode to Politics, examines not only the past thirsteen years of New Labour rule, but the Tories in office and English political history since the Second World War. Though not partisan, it leaves one in no doubt about who and what is responsible for the present state of affairs.

The Ode points a way forward and so makes a contribution to the present debate. Ode to Politics lends itself to intelligent serialization or quotation as a new perspective on a fading British political system which stands in so much need of change.
