Richard Rose : Social classes and political parties in Great Britain : an historical perspective.
Since the days of Karl Marx, England has been regarded as preeminently the country in which class should provide the basis of political divisions, especially in the absence of large coloured, linguistic, regional or religious minorities. Yet after passing through the crises of industrialization and the democratization of the franchise in the 19th century, there was still no working-class party. The gradual rise of the Labour Party since 1900 has been marked by two factors. 1) A lagged response to Labour among working-class electors because of the consequences of inter-gene- rational transmission of party loyalties. This proposition about voting in the past is supported by survey data from the present. 2) A readiness of traditional elites to assimilate working-class leaders into the existing regime, and the desire of such leaders to alter themselves, rather than the basic structure of society. Analysis of contemporary elite data indicates that assimilation of Labour leaders continues on the basis of a shared professional class training. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
