The best fiver you’ll ever spend!

The topic of Anticipations couldn’t be more current. With many predicting that the next General Election will be the first to be fought online, the Young Fabians’ magazine asks ‘Can the Internet Change Politics?’ And fittingly, given the topic, for the first time the magazine is available to read in full online.
