This is the first scholarly history of the proportional
representation movement. Jenifer Hart explores its origins in the
early nineteenth century and analyses the contribution of political
thinkers such as Thomas Hare and John Stuart Mill. She traces the
history of the early campaigns, and the progress and vicissitudes
of the cause during the twentieth century. A final chapter takes
the account up to the present day. Based on extensive research,
this is an accessible and comprehensive study which throws light on
many of the questions which bedevil contemporary political
commentators. Mrs Hart demonstrates the inadequacy of the commonly
made identification of proportional representation with liberalism,
and explains the failure of its supporters to achieve its adoption
in the UK, with the exception of Northern Ireland. Her book makes
an important contribution to British constitutional history and to
current debates on electoral reform.
