The Good Old Days?
I found an interesting book today - Second City Politics: Democratic Processes and Decision Making in Birmingham by Kenneth Newton, published in 1976. I've only had a chance to skim it so far, but one of the interesting things is that the author interviewed 60 odd Birmingham councillors in 1971 in the course of his research. I'll try and pick out some of the better quotes over the weekend, and see how things have changed..
