  Who Goes Home? A Parliamentary Miscellany is a wonderful and authoritative collection of Parliamentary wit and insult; of bizarre and hilarious stories; of odd and surprising facts about Parliament; and explanations of what is strange, mysterious and impenetrable about the Gothic Fantasy Palace on the banks of the Thames. Who resorted to duel rather than debate? What have been the best heckles? What are the dangers of asking one too many questions when canvassing? How does a minister know when disaster threatens? How do you decode political statements? Like its predecessor Order! Order! this new miscellany will entertain and fascinate; and like its predecessor will become a source book for some of the best after-dinner stories.
