Summary / Abstract (Note) | his article considers the claims made by members of the current UK Coalition government to adopt a new style of listening, consultative politics based upon the so-called wisdom of the crowd. It considers how these claims have-and could have-been acted upon, focusing upon two central policy proposals; the funding of higher education and the reform of the National Health Service. |
