Jean Blondel et Robert Hall : Political behaviour towards local authority in two British communities.
One often speaks of the disaffection of the masses towards local political life. In fact, the analysis of citizen's attitudes in two British communities, one of average size, the other small, does not appear to confirm this disaffection. An important majority of subjects questionned during the inquiry state that they are ready to participate in collective actions if it becomes necessary, a very large majority also state that the influence the political system allows them to have is satisfying. The judgments made on the structure of the local administration and on the personnel, be it elected or appointed, are more mitigated : but it is important to note that the rates of satisfaction increase with the politisation and participation : the most politised citizens express the less cynicism. Lastly abstention in local elections seems linked rather to national forms of political participation than to purely local criteria of participation. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
