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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199605173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199605170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Ross McKibbin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933875003647,"sku":"9780199605170","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39220165-deae-45e7-8b95-4265d1f15714.jpg?v=1721789785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parties-and-people-ross-mckibbin-9780199605170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
