Rezensionen

'The definitive study of the expenses scandal, this excellent collection carefully documents its evolution, from its origins in FOI requests, through the painful process of reform, and sets out the prospects for another scandal. Drawing on a range of empirical data, it is written in a clear and accessible manner and challenges the conventional wisdom on the impact of the scandal on the public and politics, arguing that it was much more limited than most realise'.

Philip Cowley, Professor of Parliamentary Government, University of Nottingham, UK
