"Citizens and Subjects" is an essay on the nature and condition of
democracy in Britain at the end of the 20th century. It looks at
the commonly held view that Britain is a model democracy, and
exposes it as a dangerous myth inhibiting both radical thought and
actual constitutional change. The text explores the tradition of
political and constitutional thought in Britain, and contemporary
political reality, revealing a wide gulf between the two. Anthony
Wright, a recently-elected Labour MP, considers Britain's
particularly acute form of a general problem of modern government.
While the nation thinks of itself as a liberal democracy, its
liberalism was in place well before democracy came onto the agenda.
Consequently, from the outset, democracy was seen as a problem by
both Conservatives and Liberals. Constitutional issues have
re-emerged on the political agenda in recent years. The author
discusses the means by which we might move towards a pluralistic,
open and participatory democracy; he also argues, however, that
practical reforms will not be possible unless they are linked to a
new tradition of radical constitutional thought.
