Originally published in 1972, this edition includes expanded
sections on class and voting and elites and participation in modern
democracy. Many popular misconceptions - about the militancy of
party activists, the relations between MPs and constituents, the
role of TV and the fairness of the electoral system - are
critically examined. Equally important is the review of
representational theories, from Greek to Victorian, in the light of
what we know today about the workings of Parliament, the role of
pressure groups and the mixture of rational and irrational motives
in human behaviour. A range of twentieth century critiques,
including those of Robert Michels, Joseph Schumpeter, Robert Dahl
and Peter Bachrach is presented. Wherever possible, British
experience is compared with that of the USA, continental Europe or
the Commonwealth.
