What Kind of Country
David Alton
David Alton has attracted national attention with his private member’s Bill to halt late abortions.
In What kind of country? he takes a clear, uncompromising look at the state of Britain in Mrs Thatcher’s third term.

What Kind of Country? challenges the orthodoxies of all political parties, and promotes an alternative which comes from neither Left nor Right. It transcends party politics in advocating a new society of justice, equality and freedom.
He questions the values of a country which is neither Christian nor civilized.
