Most MPs do not achieve the great offices of State; some do not aspire to them. As backbenchers they have an influential role in the making of legislation, the conduct of government and the welfare of their political party.
Commons Knowledge makes the case for the active, rigorous backbench MP. From taking the oath to resigning, it offers advice for new and veteran backbenchers alike. The informative narrative is a valuable guide to what can be achieved by backbenchers - valuable to both would-be MPs and constituents who want to know what their MP ought to be doing.
