Tragedy in the Commons
Tragedy in the Commons: Former Members of Parliament Speak Out About Canada's Failing Democracy by Alison Loat and Michael MacMillan. This 2014 Random House Canada hardcover is a first edition, first printing, with the number line ending in 1, and includes its dust jacket.
Drawing on extensive exit interviews with 80 former Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum, Loat and MacMillan examine the role of Canadian MPs, the influence of political parties and leadership, declining public engagement, and possible ways to strengthen parliamentary democracy. The Samara Centre for Democracy describes the work as a national bestseller and marked its enduring relevance with a tenth-anniversary event in 2024.
This copy is personally inscribed and signed by co-author Alison Loat on the title page to Rob and Suzanne and is dated April 2014. The supplied signature photograph shows Alison Loat's signature; it does not show a signature by Michael MacMillan.
The seller grades the hardcover and dust jacket Very Good. Light handling or shelf wear is visible on the jacket, and the photographed interior pages appear clean and legible apart from the author inscription. Please review all photos carefully, as they form part of the description. The book will be packaged carefully for shipment.
