In this book the author proposes that parties are indispensable
to modern politics and that the absence of parties suggests that a
system is governed by a traditional elite which has yet to come to
terms with the modern world. Without them it would be impossible to
legitimize modern systems, to engage the loyalty and support of the
citizens. The alternative to party rule is either aristocracy or
violent repression. In all systems the party widens the area from
which political leaders are recruited and is thus a 'democratising'
if not necessarily a 'liberalising' force.
