The Efficient Secret is an analysis of the institutional changes in
parliamentary government in nineteenth-century England,
concentrating on the years between the first and third Reform Acts.
Professor Gary W. Cox employs a rational choice model to analyze
the problems of voter choice and to examine the emergence of party
loyalty in the electorate, the development of cabinet government,
and their legislative consequences. The introductory chapters
provide the historical setting for this study and briefly survey
nineteenth-century political and economic events. Professor Cox
then focuses on the increases in party voting in Parliament and in
the electorate. To support his argument concerning these parallel
developments, he uses statistical evidence drawn from poll books
and newspapers.
