Running the country is a complex operation and with trust in politicians at an all time low, many of us find ourselves ranting at the telly in frustration. So who better than Haynes to produce a 'workshop manual' that explains in plain English how the system works - a 'nuts and bolts' guide to all the big questions that politicians like to dodge.

Split into sections covering economics, politics and society, we show how to strip down the machinery of state and give it a good service.

Generously illustrated with cartoons and helpful photos throughout, this Haynes manual explains what's gone wrong, and how or fix it. The authors address difficult issues, like the country's enormous debts and rising levels of inequality, arguing that it's not too late to learn the lessons of the 2007-8 crash, which nearly bankrupted Britain.

So if you're fed up with squabbling politicians, this clearly written expert guide, with its focus on debunking technical jargon, makes the subjects of politics and economics accessible to all.
