Description
In the third part of this series presented by Michael Cockerell, with unprecedented access to the House of Commons, we see how the traditional three-party system appears to be falling apart at the seams. Backbench MPs are becoming increasingly rebellious as they confront the dark arts of the Whips - the shadowy figures who seek to impose party discipline. We follow Lib-Dem MP Jenny Willott as she seeks to balance new parenthood with politics. And we follow the clockmakers whose job it is to ensure that all the Commons two thousand clocks, from Big Ben downwards, tell exactly the same time.
