Surveys show a lack of trust in political actors and institutions
across much of the democratic world. Populist politicians and
parties attempt to capitalise on this political disaffection.
Commentators worry about our current 'age of anti-politics'.
Focusing on the United Kingdom, using responses to public opinion
surveys alongside diaries and letters collected by Mass
Observation, this book takes a long view of anti-politics going
back to the 1940s. This historical perspective reveals how
anti-politics has grown in scope and intensity over the last
half-century. Such growth is explained by citizens' changing images
of 'the good politician' and changing modes of political
interaction between politicians and citizens. Current efforts to
reform and improve democracy will benefit greatly from the new
evidence and conceptual framework set out in this important study.
