Talk by Robert McKenzie
The study of British politics, Mr. McKenzie suggests, has been too little concerned with what happens outside Parliament, so that a whole area of political activity is left virtually unexplored. The speaker, who is a Lecturer at the London School of Economics, points to the value in this connection of such empirical studies as The Party System in Great Britain by Ivor Bulmer-Thomas and David Butler's The Electoral System in Great Britain, both published recently.
