Synopsis "‘Just Like Us’: The Politics of Ministerial Promotion in uk Government (Routledge Studies in British Politics) (in English)"
Informed by interviews with key political figures and commentators, this entertaining and enlightening book exposes the influences, processes, and motivations behind ministerial promotion in British Government.It identifies and analyses the political sinews that have influenced the selection and upward progression of our rulers since the middle of the last century. Given that politics is fuelled by ambition - it provides commentary on how this often-criticised emotional drive can work positively in practice, motivating politicians to strive constantly for advancement in their quest for power and achievement. Drawing upon many biographies, it explains how politics is essentially about the strengths and frailties of the people who occupy positions of power. It illustrates that climbing up that greasy pole is dependent upon a number of key character traits of politicians: their strength of desire; their abilities/skills as communicators, managers and administrators; the ways in which fate throws up opportunities; and the raw courage of politicians in confronting these challenges. Ultimately, the book illuminates the abiding obsessions of that tiny but potent minority in democratic societies who dare to dream they can rule over us.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and anyone interested in British political history, biography and the politics of executive government.
