An Accidental MP

Rating:
Summary: An interesting look at the work of a non party MP
Review: Martin Bell lost in his attempt to win the seat of Brentwood and Ongar in the 2001 general election, however this memoir looks at his time as MP (Independent) for Tatton from 1997 until 2000 when he wrote this book. Quite candid and interesting, it looks at the work of a man who was the first MP to be non party affiliated since 1950, (minus succesive Speakers) and it examines the strains and joys of the job.
