 |  | | | Michael Dobbs and Christine Hamilton on politicians' wives | 10 November 2006 | | |
Michael Dobbs novel, First Lady, is a tale of corruption and scandal in modern British politics. Central to his plot are Westminster wives - the masterful manipulators who determine their husbands' fate. But when so many women have their own lives and careers, how accurate is the notion that the MP's wife is the "power behind the throne"?
Martha talks to Michael Dobbs and to Christine Hamilton, wife of former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton, about Westminster marriages.
