Voices of the People: Popular Attitudes to Democratic Renewal in Britain

by Patrick Dunleavy, Stuart Weir, Trevor Smith

The authors summarize and analyze a ten-year series of opinion surveys of British attitudes towards constitutional issues commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust. They argue that the general public have a good grasp of the underlying issues and are strongly in favor of constitutional reform that would lead to more public participation and greater government accountability.
