The Rise of the Career Politician in Britain — And its Consequences

Anthony King

British Journal of Political Science, 1981, vol. 11, issue 3, 249-285

Abstract: The new British government formed in May 1979 contained a Butler, a Chalker, a Fowler and a Prior. It also, as the whole world knows, contained a Thatcher. It did not, however, contain a single Barrister, Solicitor or Journalist; nor, remarkably, did it contain anybody by the name of Politician.
