British Quote by Nick Boles
“There is a force in British politics that explains the rise and fall of political parties. It determines the outcome of elections and the trajectory of careers. It has earned the trust of the people far more frequently than any political brand. But it is restless. Claimed by almost everyone in politics, it chains itself to none.”
