Politics, But Better: An A – Z Guide to Creating a More Hopeful Future
£1.90
From the founder of Simple Politics comes a guide to rediscovering the heart of our democracy, reshaping our political system and making the UK a better place for all.
Strikes across the country. A prime minister resigning after just forty-four days. Accusations of bullying in the House of Commons. Our politics and our democracy appear to be fundamentally broken.
But that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. Things can get better. There are solutions out there to the complex web of failure in which we’re currently entangled.
Politics, But Better will look at the very fabric of our system and what improvements can be made. Exploring twenty-six issues in UK politics, from A to Z – including censorship, elections, insults and U-turns – it clearly lays out the problems and challenges we face, and puts forward possible solutions. Looking at a variety of ideas and real-world examples, it will encourage us to rethink the fundamental ways we do things, to question the status quo, and to chart a path towards a more hopeful future.
Respect and understanding are at the heart of this book, promoting open debate, tolerance and compassion as the cornerstones of a reformed political landscape. Politics is about improving the world – and we can do better.

Really enjoyed reading this. Tatton writes with transparency, humour and enthusiasm. I love the work that Tatton and the Simple Politics team do.
Politics is often a daunting subject to talk or think about, and I think Tatton has delivered a refreshing approach to Politics!
by Rachel
Tatton is a refreshing voice in the world of politics. His passion and enthusiasm echoes throughout this book, and it is such a good read.
by Mrs Diana P Dyson
This book is written by the founder of Simple Politics, a provider of political news in a simple, unbiased way. In the book, Tatton writes, as always, with great passion, knowledge, humour and clarity. It is, without doubt, a very easy and enjoyable read, which I never thought I’d be saying about a book on politics! I read almost half of it in one sitting. What I love about the book is that it provides such simple, doable solutions to much of the nonsense and conflict that we see in politics today – Tatton’s aim has always been to encourage more polite, productive, positive and ultimately transformational political debate and fix the broken political system we have today. It is an enlightening and a hopeful book. Even if you’re not into politics (and especially if you’re not!), I thoroughly recommend it. I’ve always felt that Tatton’s first book should be on the school curriculum – I think this second one should be compulsory reading for everyone in the political system. Loved it!!
