Power Failure: Exploring How Scotland is Run and What it Means for Our Democracy
Robin McAlpine
Will Dinan
We may not know exactly where power is but we know how to control it. Choosing not to is not a neutral act but a validation of government by cartel. It really is our choice. A select few hold a monopoly of power over Scotland. But why is this? And what can be done about it? In Power Failure, Robin McAlpine and Will Dinan strip back the power dynamics involved in Scottish politics, examining the nation’s leading political elites, corporations, policy-makers and pressure groups, and exploring the social, political and economic implications. This book is essential reading if you want to know who is currently running Scotland, and how you can take control from them.
