Opis

Political parties are the driving force behind liberal democracy, yet knowledge of who belongs to them and why is almost nonexistent. This work attempts to provide the first national profile of the social background, characteristics, attitudes and values, as well as the political experiences and activities of Labour Party members in Great Britain.

Recenzje

'The whole report is well structured and clearly written ... informative in providing new and relevant information in a descriptive way on the characteristics of members and how they compare to those of Labour voters in general ... the report makes an important impact and succeeds in meeting the various requirements of its projected audience. The style is clear and relatively free of theoretical jargon which would detract from its readability. The authors are to be congratulated.'
