Publisher's Synopsis

Journalist Patrick Hannan's witty and incisive view of Wales and Welsh politics since the resignation of Ron Davies in 1997. Patrick Hannan explores Welsh politics since Ron Davies's "moment of madness" on Clapham Common. His subjects include Davies's resignation; the alleged imposition of of Alun michael on the Welsh Assembly by Downing Street; the leadership battle between Michael and Rhodri Morgan; the assembly elections and their fall-out; a chapter on political scandal taking Rod Richards' career as a starting point; Wales' new relation with England and with the Prince of Wales; issues of past and future identity in Wales. Hannan is witty and irreverent but always searching in his thesis. An important book for Wales and the Union and an entertaining read for those interest in the mechanisms of power and the debunking of politicians.
