Today representative democracy is the dominant political system in
the world. Britain played a prominent part in the democratization
of the world through both its constitutional reforms at home and
its power and influence abroad. In that process, Prime Ministers
played a prominent role through their power and influence in
government, Parliament and the country more generally. Quinault
examines the stance of ten leading Prime Ministers - from the
mid-nineteenth century until the twenty-first century - on the
theory and practice of democracy. The attitude of each Prime
Minister is assessed by considering their general views on
democracy and their use of that term and concept in their discourse
and thereby their role in advancing or resisting democratic
political change. Particular attention is paid to their role in
electoral reform, together with their stance on the composition and
powers of the House of Lords and the role of the monarchy in the
governing process. Their attitudes to the democratic aspects of
some major international issues are also considered.
