′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 BainesProfessor of Political Marketing, Cranfield School of Management, UK
