Sintesi dell'editore
In his uniquely straightforward and accessible style, political insider Graham Steele pulls back the curtain on our political system and gives listeners a look inside. A lawyer, analyst, former Nova Scotia cabinet minister, and author of the Globe & Mail best-selling memoir What I Learned About Politics, Steele answers the burning questions of Canadians: Who really runs the parties? What does a backbencher do? How does a citizen effectively navigate the system and achieve change through a politician? What is “truthiness”?
A primer for anyone who wants to become a politician or influence one, The Effective Citizen explains how politicians think and what factors influence that thinking, how to interpret the “non-answer” in political speech, and acknowledges that in politics, bland is safe. Ideal for political neophytes and junkies all the same, Steele’s newest book will have the whole country talking.
"Graham Steele is an honest writer. It’s the ingredient that make his books so compelling to read. In his first book, What I Learned about Politics, the former Nova Scotia politician and cabinet minister writes candidly about his 15 years in the game. It is not pretty. With his second book, The Effective Citizen: How to Make Politicians Work for You, Graham continues to point out the flaws in our political system as a way to improve it. Coming from someone who has been on the inside of politics and government, and who is so passionate about public service, his book is prescriptive, sometimes surprising - and a must read."
