Introduction: Political Cultures -- 'Consumers of the World Unite, You Have Nothing to Lose but Your Illusions': The Politics of the Consumers' Association -- Shopfloor Politics: Co-Operative Culture and Affluence -- 'The Largest Voluntary Political Youth Movement in the World': The Lifestyleand Identity of Young Conservatism -- Whitehouse on Television: The National Viewers' and Listeners'Association and Moral and Cultural Politics -- Cultural Turns: Wesker's Centre 42, the Roundhouse and the Politics of Culture -- Popular Politics? Communication and Representations of Politics -- Conclusions.

A history of modern British political culture, Redefining British Politics discusses organisations, ideas, movements, identities, moments and individuals that transcend the spheres of politicaland social change. These include the Consumers' Association founded by Michael Young; the Co-op as asimilar attempt to fuse consumer politics in a social movement; the Young Conservatives as a chiefly social, but nonetheless party political presence in civil society; Mary Whitehouse's National Viewers' and Listeners' Association that campaigned on issues of morality on TV; Arnold Wesker's radicalcultural initiatives in Centre 42; and finally, how politics was itself represented in popular culture and used marketing and TV to communicate with voters. Set against the context ofrelative affluence and cultural change in 1950s and 1960s Britain, it probes whether political behaviour and subjectmatter became more post-materialist. It addresses identification with party, but also the development of newer forms of pressure groups and social movements and moral, cultural and consumer agendas.It uses these to explore politics' relationship with the wider society and how the shifting category of 'the political' included more than traditional areas of historical focus like party, elections and policy. Its approach is more a cultural history of politics than a political history. As such itassesses popular participation in politics, the salience and reception of political languagesand practices and incorporates everyday indifference as part of political culture that, it argues, in key respects was not, by conventional measures, notably political.
