An Accidental MP by Martin Bell

After the most unusual and quixotic campaign of recent memory, Martin Bell was elected to Parliament by a landslide as an Independent - a species thought to have been extinct since 1950. This book is an account of that campaign and the fascinating years in Parliament that followed -constituency work, committee work and trying to find an independent place in the traditional structures of the House of Commons. It is a perspective on democracy, the role of an individual within Parliament and a fresh account of an entirely unexpected career.
