"How is it, you must ask that supposedly sensible, rational people desire to become an MP? It's silly, but there you are, some people lust after such success, if only to stick it to those who, in their youth, predicted they'd never amount to anything. Told in the form of letters to his wide-eyed nephew Basil, John Terris shares his experiences as he sets out to explain to him that the much sought after office of Member of the New Zealand Parliament, which looks so attractive to the bright, personable and idealistic young man or woman, may turn out to be something else. How to convey the disappointments in store, the trials and tribulations, not to mention the betrayals and disillusionment, which awaits them after they achieve their dream. September showdown offers readers a vivid, yet tongue-in-cheek, meander through all that lies ahead of Basil in his quest for selection for the Labour Party and ultimately a seat in Parliament"--Back cover of print.

How is it, you have to ask, that supposedly sensible, rational people desire to become an MP? It's silly, but there you are, some people lust after such success, if only to stick it to those who, in their youth, predicted they'd never amount to anything. Told in the form of letters to his wide-eyed nephew Basil, John Terris shares his experiences as he sets out to explain to him that the much sought after office of Member of the New Zealand Parliament, which looks so attractive to the bright, personable and idealistic young man or woman, may turn out to be something else. How to convey the disappointments in store, the trials and tribulations, not to mention the betrayals and disillusionment, which awaits them after they achieve their dream? September Showdown offers readers a vivid, yet tongue-in-cheek, meander through all that lies ahead of Basil in his quest for selection for the Labour Party and ultimately a seat in parliament. And John Terris knows the trials and tribulations of office. His CV is vast and full of parliamentary experience from all quarters. He moved into politics in 1977 after a very successful broadcasting career in both radio and TV. Initially he was a local councillor, later Mayor in the Hutt Valley. In 1978 he began four terms as the Labour MP for Western Hutt, including time as the Deputy Speaker of the House. He became the first MP to sponsor a private member's bill supporting proportional representation, and in 1989 was presented with a Queen's Service Order for his time in parliament. Election 2014 promises to be a closely fought battle. John Terris hopes this publication may help to keep those election hopefuls who have not seen the error of their ways, and who are instead determined

A Beach Read for Political Junkies The Tragedy of Hope and Change contains insights vital to understanding the changes progressive politics have added to our political landscape. A self-employed kayak guide, small business owner, and political junkie, Chris Warren explores both the workings of the 2008 presidential election, and the overt actions by Congress, as they pertain to middle class working Americans. Exploring everything from education to individual responsibility and even media bias, the Tragedy of Hope and Change will take you on a journey to discover how the broad brushstrokes of ambiguity progressives use to modify policy, can alter the Constitution of the United States, and forever destroy the freedoms we the electorate hold so dear.

A wide-ranging history of seventy years of change in political media, and how it transformed -- and fractured -- American politics With fake news on Facebook, trolls on Twitter, and viral outrage everywhere, it's easy to believe that the internet changed politics entirely. In Political Junkies, historian Claire Bond Potter shows otherwise, revealing the roots of today's dysfunction by situating online politics in a longer history of alternative political media. From independent newsletters in the 1950s to talk radio in the 1970s to cable television in the 1980s, pioneers on the left and right developed alternative media outlets that made politics more popular, and ultimately, more partisan. When campaign operatives took up e-mail, blogging, and social media, they only supercharged these trends. At a time when political engagement has never been greater and trust has never been lower, Political Junkies is essential reading for understanding how we got here.

"The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on the wide-ranging topics covered in this field and considers the key theoretical and methodological pluralism in the area as well the most recent developments. One of the aims of this Handbook is to bring together two research traditions from political science and sociology, bridging research in political sociology and social movement studies. Accordingly, the Handbook mainly brings together authors coming from both the politics and sociology research traditions, as well as key authors working on political participation coming also from other fields such as psychology, economics, anthropology, and geography. The volume provides the first comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of political participation in all of its varied expression; it covers a wide range of topics relating to the study of political participation, both from a theoretical and methodological perspective; it brings together the political science and political sociology tradition, on the one hand, and the social movement sociological tradition, on the other; it is sensitive to theoretical and methodological pluralism as well as the most recent developments in the field; and includes discussions combining perspectives that have traditionally been treated separately in the literature as well as discussions of current trends and future directions for research in this field"--

This work peels back the curtain on how political campaigns influence America, covering everything from social media to getting to the Oval Office. This comprehensive handbook reveals essentially everything the American public wants to know about political campaigns. The two-volume set begins with a historical overview, then goes on to investigate campaigns from a variety of perspectives that shed light on how they work and why. Readers will discover how campaigns are run, how they're covered by the media, how they influence government, and how various interest groups and demographics play a part in the system. The contributors—who include academics, elected officials, journalists, and campaign professionals—offer new data, interviews, and analysis in a style that will prove fresh, accessible, and engaging for everyone from college students to political junkies. They offer the inside scoop on types of campaign media—for example, TV spots, debates, and social media—and on message variables such as language, humor, and evidence. Groups of voters like women and youth are examined, and the work also discusses theories of campaigning such as agenda-setting, issue ownership, the Elaboration Likelihood Model, and the Theory of Reasoned Action. Scandal in American political campaigns, always a subject of interest, is addressed as well.

Social researchers increasingly find themselves looking beyond conventional methods to address complex research questions. This is the first book to comprehensively examine emergent qualitative and quantitative theories and methods across the social and behavioral sciences. Providing scholars and students with a way to retool their research choices, the volume presents cutting-edge approaches to data collection, analysis, and representation. Leading researchers describe alternative uses of traditional quantitative and qualitative tools; innovative hybrid or mixed methods; and new techniques facilitated by technological advances. Consistently formatted chapters explore the strengths and limitations of each method for studying different types of research questions and offer practical, in-depth examples.

New York remains the Empire State. Its trillion dollar economy makes the state a national-and often world-leader in banking, finance, publishing, soft services (law, accounting, insurance, consulting), higher education, culture, and the arts. With more than one in five of its residents having immigrated from elsewhere, New York State is an ethnic and social harbinger for an increasingly diverse nation. Recent years have found it, like many other big states, challenged to achieve effective governance. How is, can, or should such a state be governed? What is its history? What is its future? The Oxford Handbook of New York State Government and Politics offers an unusually comprehensive, detailed, and systematic study of this unique and influential state. The thirty-one chapters in The Oxford Handbook of New York State Government and Politics assemble new scholarship in key areas of governance in New York, document the state's record in comparison to other US states, and identify directions for future research. Following editor Gerald Benjamin's introduction, the handbook chapters are organized in five sections that look at the state constitution, state political processes, state governmental institutions, intergovernmental relations, and management and policy areas. Chapters address a wide array of topics including political parties, campaign finance policy, public opinion polling, elections and election management, lobbying and interest group systems, the state legislature, the governorship, the judiciary, the state's "foreign policy," education, health care policy, public safety, economic development, transportation policy, energy policy, and more. A final chapter, compiled by the state archivist, consists of a most extensive annotated bibliography of resources on state history, state political history, the state constitution, and state political processes. Chapter authors include both scholars of New York State and current and former state officials.
