The Geek Manifesto is a great recent book about how there should be more scientists in gvmt. Basically at the moment there are about 2 of the 636 MPs, and one MP scientist was forced to leave in the last few years because of his views re: drug influence.
I'm in favour of scientifically based drug policy. Also in favour of social-based drug policy. At the moment it feels we have a tradition-based drug policy which is scary.
