Will this be like Watergate's 'Deep Throat', you will only confirm which MP it was when they die? I think the fact that someone like me - who really likes to try to be as open and honest as possible - is still reluctant to name the person tells you something about how seriously the 'libel' issue should be considered .... Did The Almanac of American politics ever have such issues? I guess the free speech laws in the US made it more doable there? I bought one edition of that in 2002 but enjoyed it much less as Barone let his bias intrude too much. |

I don't know of any such issues and Michael Barone never mentioned any on the occasions we've met.
But they do have a much larger 'staff' to check facts ....
(and it was an inaccurate 'fact', taken from another source, that did the Almanac of British Politics in, not an opinion).
