Political and economic thinkers have shaped Britain through the ages.
Some have been commentators or academics and some have driven through their agenda as Prime Minister.
All have influenced concepts such as democracy, voting and what British society should be.
These concepts in turn have shaped our political institutions such as Parliament working and making laws that affect everyone today.
Political theory is a bit like Marmite. You either love it or hate it. We’ve tried to put the key concepts in easy to understand language in case you are the latter. I hope you enjoy learning about these influential figures.
