Chapter 6. Speeches, Speech-Making and Voting Behaviour.
- 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 focuses on how the questionnaire was designed to gather information on the speeches and voting behaviors of members of parliament. It comments on questions on which speeches the legislators considered their best, the relative influence of politicians considered backbenchers and frontbenchers, and party loyalty.
