The "sequel" to his best-selling Classes and Cultures, Ross
McKibbin's latest book is a powerful reinterpretation of British
politics in the first decades of universal suffrage. What did it
mean to be a "democratic society?" To what extent did voters make
up their own minds on politics or allow elites to do it for them?
Exploring the political culture of these extraordinary years,
Parties and People shows that class became one of the principal
determinants of political behaviour, although its influence was
often surprisingly weak.
McKibbin argues that the kind of democracy that emerged in Britain
was far from inevitable-as much historical accident as design-and
was in many ways highly flawed.
