Trade Review"In this gold mine of voting data and analysis, bolstered by online supporting evidence, Godbout systematically examines individual and structural theories of party unity. He skillfully explains the implications of his conclusions. This work is extraordinarily relevant to any examination of why Parliament is increasingly considered irrelevant." -- Neal A. Carter, Brigham Young University *
