One of the most notable features of this is that the books are voted for by parliamentarians.
This year British parliamentarians voted How To Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again) by Nick Clegg as the Best Non-Fiction. It won the secret ballot by only a narrow margin.
Best Book by a non-Parliamentarian was awarded to Jo Cox: More in Common . Jo Cox was an MP with the Labour Party who was murdered last year by fifty-two-year old Nazi, Thomas Mair, who shouted, “Britain first” as he attacked her. The book was written by Cox’s husband, Brendan Cox.
Britain’s longest-serving female Labour MP Harriet Harman‘s memoir A Woman’s Work won the award for Best Memoir by a Parliamentarian.
