Debut author of How to be in Opposition - published 24 Feb - has already made it onto the pages of The Independent.
Apparently with unique access to his Facebook page The Independent quotes Nigel Fletcher's statuses over the course of a single hour:
"[I'm] currently storming up the charts at number 80 in the Amazon 'Political Structures and Processes' bestseller list. Rock 'n' roll ... Down from number 61 an hour ago, mind. People are so fickle ... Spoke too soon – gone back up to #27. Not that I'm remotely obsessed, oh no ... I'm currently two places above Cicero, and four above Walter Bagehot.

Lucky, indeed!
It is worth a note that the reporter called the book both "entertaining" and "immaculately researched", as such, we have total confidence that How to be in Opposition: Life in the political shadows will be at #1 in that ever-coveted political structures and processes list in no time...
