Ed Miliband’s recent proposal to hold regular Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) with members of the public was met with derision from some commentators. In typical critical fashion, Telegraph blogger Dan Hodges said the proposal by the Labour leader was a “glaring example of precisely the sort of superficial gesture politics he decries” and “will only serve to drive a further wedge between our MPs and those who elect them”.

Britain faces unprecedented challenges: a financial system still too big to fail or jail; austerity causing unnecessary hardship to those already at the bottom of a massively unequal society; climate change flooding people's homes; and a democratic system that seems pretty irrelevant to any of these problems.

Before addressing the book, a few words are in order concerning the volume's publishing house and its series' editors. In 2010, Bloomsbury became the first international academic company publishing peer-reviewed monographs in anarchist studies, having launched a new series titled "Contemporary Anarchist Studies". Showing a commendable coherence with the series' theme, each volume has a paperback and hardback version, being also available under a Creative Commons (2.0) License which ensures that permission for non-commercial reproduction of the books is granted, by the publishers, free of charge to voluntary, campaign and community groups. The series is edited by Laurence Davis (National University of Ireland, Maynooth), Uri Gordon (Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, Israel), Nathan Jun (Midwestern State University, USA) and Alex Prichard (London School of Economics, UK). The first four volumes were launched almost simultaneously, in 2013 (between August 1st and October 24th), and the current volume being reviewed, by author Peter Ryley, was the second one of the series -- launched on September 12th.

Developing a more meaningful relationship with the 3 million working men and women who are members of the trade unions that sit inside the Labour family will give our party a head start in addressing this. It will open up our party and give working people a real choice and voice as individuals inside Labour. What Ed's package of party reforms will do is to update a party architecture constructed in the 20th century to make it fit for the 21st, better embedding our party in every community.
