The reimagined party
Democracy, change and the public
by Katharine Dommett
A comprehensive overview of public perceptions of political parties, this book asks 'what do we want from politics?' and finds evidence that people want to see the ethos of party politics change. Presenting the idea of the re-imagined party, this book uses new survey and deliberative workshop data to outline public views and desires of parties today. Exploring citizens' desires for representation, participation, governance and conduct the book examines the complexity of public opinion and consider how parties may wish to respond.
