244. Legislators in an Indian state: a study in social characteristics

Author

Subjects
India -- Political aspects, Legislators -- Social aspects, Political science, Regional focus/area studies
Abstract

A state's political system can be best understood by analyzing the social characteristics of its legislators. In Haryana, India, personalities are more important than issues. Thus, political candidates belonging to larger caste or religious, community or demographic groups have greater chances of being elected in the legislature. Moreover, the gradual shift of state politics towards democratization did not create a significant change in the people's perception of their legislators. The political system in Haryana may have been modified, but the value system remains unchanged.

Abstract

The social and ideological background of new Conservative MPs and ministers was examined to assess changes in the class nature of the Conservative Party and the success or failure rate for 'Thatcherite' and non-'Thatcherite' MPs and ministers. Many MPs who first took their seats in 1979 and 1983 had a state school background, whereas MPs who won their first elections in 1987 and 1992 were largely from public school backgrounds. Very few Conservative MPs belonged to the 'Thatcherite' group, which was found to have lost cabinet posts to the 'Wet/Damp' or leftist group.

Abstract

The socialization of the 33 freshmen members of the 101st House of Representatives elected in 1988 was profoundly affected by the entrepreneurial culture now pervading the House. This entrepreneurial culture undermines the House's organizational impact by urging new members to imitate established members' preference for working on individual initiatives rather than on policy compromises with the whole House. This socialization process, with its stress on local politics and the need to ensure re-election, has replaced the apprenticeship system that urged new members to begin cautiously.
