There are no books that can adequately cover British politics to the extent that you're asking. Also, politics and economics are intertwined to the point that you cannot understand one without the other. Freakonomics, for example explains how the two cannot be meaningful separated and is an interesting place to start any political journey.

Depending on your background knowledge 30-Second Politics can give you a grounding of what all the different terminology means and Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box provides useful insight as to the difference between how politics is preached and practiced. Also, The Plan is essential reading to understand our current government.

You've already mentioned Douglass Murray's Neoconservatism: Why We Need It, which I would also thoroughly endorse. Further to that I'd recommend Thomas Pikkety's Capital in the 21st Century which although about economics is so closely tied to current political thought that it really is extremely useful reading

>Yet they are beholden to central government funding, which has been completely slashed.

Good afternoon good sir. May I interest you in Daniel Hannan's and Douglass Carswell's manifesto

With H&C's localism all regional bodies powers will be transferred to local councils, all the ministerial powers of the Department of communities will be passed to councils, and counties and cities will receive responsibility for all policy that the devolved Scottish government does. And councils will be financially independent due to the replacement of VAT with local sales taxes.

With localism the buck passing stops between local and national government, and local democracy is revived as local power becomes more then just a section of the greasy national totem pole.

Choose localism today!

Feel free to ignore me, but I think you'd enjoy this.

Don't be put off by the fact it's a bit old. 95% of its ideas are as relevant today as when it was published.

And you can get it for 1p.

Well, Carswell certainly made his own position on the NHS very clear in his pro-privatisation book, The Plan.
