'Ormrod, Henneberg and O'Shaughnessy have produced an excellent introductory text on political marketing. I particularly liked its focus on critical, ethical and symbolic aspects of political marketing; areas which are relatively poorly considered elsewhere in the political marketing literature' - Dr. Paul Baines Professor of Political Marketing, Cranfield School of Management, UK
