Recent Political Developments in England

No discussion of government can pretend to any sort of completeness if it disregards the place and function of political parties in the mechanism of the Commonwealth. Considering their role in the actualities of representative rulership to be great, I have written this history of English Government in terms of political parties, with special emphasis on and detailed explanation of those events which have caused friction between diverse groups, which have thus precipitated a general election, and consequently, change of the party in power. I have emphasized the position of the Labor party, with a view to indicating the prospect of a political renaissance in England by the destruction of capitalism and the enthronement of Labour.
