Perhaps we could sponsor a reading? Hardly seems fair to make someone do it just out of the goodness of their heart. Or we could buy a copy, rip out chapters, distribute them, and have everyone review one apiece.

Danyl: And OTOH, if Labour hadn't moved to plug the loopholes so devastaingly exposed by Hagar's book, then our democracy would be a lot poorer for it. What disturbs me is that so many people, when faced with clear problems which undermined the integrity of our electoral system, were quite content to let them continue.
