Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are many persons, who, though possessing the suffrage, often put the question, "What is the use of a vote?" Giving small heed to political affairs, the issue of elections has as little interest for them as the debates in Parliament; and they imagine that the process of governing the country is mainly a self-acting one, upon which their individual effort could have the least possible effect. This idea is wrong at the root, and the cause of much mischief in politics. We are governed by majorities, and every vote counts." This book is a treatise on the political process by British journalist and political biographer Sir Alfred Farthings Robbins. It is comprised of a series of articles originally written for the publication, 'the Halfpenny Weekly'.
