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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring the political culture of these extraordinary years, \u003cem\u003eParties and People\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross McKibbin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199584697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoss McKibbin is Emeritus Research Fellow at St John's College, Oxford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44232149270643,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":161.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3e2649f9-ed8b-422d-a8ec-2cc9bcf8cdaf.jpg?v=1768656499","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/parties-and-people-england-1914-1951-9780199584697","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
