In this compelling book Pippa Norris and Joni Lovenduski provide
the first full account of legislative recruitment in Britain for
twenty-five years. Their central concern is how and why some
politicians succeed in moving into the highest offices of state,
while others fail. The book examines the relative dearth of women,
black and working-class Members of Parliament, and whether the
evident social bias in the British political elite matters for
political representation. Legislative recruitment concerns the
critical step from lower levels (activists, local counsellors) to a
parliamentary career. The authors draw evidence from the first
systematic surveys of parliamentary candidates, Members of
Parliament and party selectors, as well as detailed personal
interviews. The study explores how and why people become
politicians, and the consequences for parties, legislatures and
representative government.
