Austin Mitchell is a political maverick. For thirty-eight years he
was a fly in the parliamentary ointment, a recurring itch on the
body politic. A maverick may annoy the whips, threaten party
discipline and challenge the solemnities of Parliament.
Troublemakers they may well be, but the Commons would certainly be
a duller place without them. However Mitchell's dissidence wasn't
all bitterness without volume control. Rattling the cage, swimming
against the tide, pursuing honourable causes and, of course,
fighting for his constituency, Grimsby, proved a rewarding career
in itself. Confessions of a Political Maverick succeeds in
uncovering the realities behind the pretentious parliamentary
facade of tradition and the stuffy complacency of Britain's failing
political class. Dissenting from the peculiar and highly particular
conformity of career politicians dedicated to climbing the greasy
pole can be a lonely role, but it can also be fun. It certainly was
for Austin Mitchell.
