Chapter 3. 'Getting Inside Their Minds': Formative Influences and Personal Backgrounds.
- Abstract
The article discusses a questionnaire sent by politician Colonel Josiah Wedgwood in July 1936 to members and former members of the British parliament who served up to 1918. It examines the structuring of the questionnaire to gather information on formative influences and personal backgrounds of members of parliament (MPs). It notes questions on how MPs became interested in politics and motivations for becoming an MP, as well as questions on influential books, newspapers, and political heroes.
