Letter from the Editor
As I write this the Total Politics office is a hive of activity with the staff busily preparing to launch the magazine. Needless to say we're very excited about this project as there really isn't anything else like it currently available on the market.
If you think Total Politics will be another 'London centric' political magazine catering solely for the Westminster Village you're wrong. The team has worked hard to develop a fresh approach, we aim to be informative but approachable. Essentially we are unremittingly positive about British politics and our independent editorial stance reflects this.
Total Politics will be sent to every elected official in the United Kingdom and will be written without partisan bias. For example, something that unites all politicians is their desire to be re-elected. Our campaign section will offer practical advice on how to run an effective election campaign regardless of which party you represent.
You won't find us concentrating on policy - there are plenty of other magazines which already do this. We are concerned with the business of politics, the people involved in decision making and best practice campaigning.
Total Politics will bring you great political interviews, insightful features, news, views and reviews from leading political commentators- there will even be some space for (political) gossip and we'll keep you informed with daily news reports via our website. I hope you find it informative, but more importantly I want you to enjoy it.
I look forward to receiving your feedback, ideas or comments. You can contact me at editor@totalpolitics.com
