Summary
Opening with the observation that "It is difficult to get at any accurate estimate of the numerical values of the different classes of voters" but it is his impression that the "middle classes, left alone, would be swamped by the electorate below."; going on to discuss the political inclinations of the English voter and public reaction to government policy.
