	Manas: History and Politics, British India
		British rule was justified, in part, by the claims that the Indians required to be civilized, and that British rule would introduce in place of Oriental despotism and anarchy a reliable system of justice, the rule of law, and the notion of 'fair play'.
		The British annexation of Awadh, and the character of the Nawab, were made the subjects of an extraordinary film by Satyajit Ray, entitled The Chess Players ("Shatranj ke Khilari").
		This was by far the greatest threat posed to the British since the beginnings of their acquisition of an empire in India in 1757, and within the space of a few weeks in May large swathes of territory in the Gangetic plains had fallen to the rebels.

	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Is British politics ideology-free?
		In this guise politics is less dogmatic with all sides open to ideas whatever their origin and with the historical role of ideas and philosophies little in evidence in the policies pursued by parties.
		In this guise there is a consensus on the political agenda, the big differences in the visions for society have gone and many of the big choices have been settled.
		But, it is entirely possible that there could be consensus in politics but that this has arisen to obscure both the presence of a dominant ideology and the choices associated with the alternatives.

	British politics
		But British voters, it seems, are heartily sick of the adversary tone of their politics.
		British political debate may be nasty, but politicians on the stump are, by American standards, reticent.
		British politics has a certain intimacy because a candidate for Parliament can personally canvass his whole constituency: Britain's 646 districts have an average population of 91,000, compared to our 435 congressional districts' average population of 678,000.

	::The Prime Minister and British Politics::
		The Prime Minister is the most important person in British politics.
		The Prime Minister appoints his cabinet and makes the final decisions on major issues such as whether a referendum should be held on an issue such as the Euro or whether Britain should join a potential American attack on Iraq.
		He has made it clear that he does not support any British involvement in an attack on Iraq unless it is backed by the United Nations, whereas some believe that Blair supports the Americans in an attack on one of the ‘axis-of evil’ nations.

		The man's been off the British political scene for half a decade and yet he can fly back into town and secure the Nation's premier political interview slot as if he'd never been away and, while he's at it, exercise real influence (as if from beyond the grave) on the succession.
		Of course it's politically impossible to use the only real justification for taxing inheritance which is the perfectly sound but paternalistic economic argument that you should leave your money to someone who knows how to invest it and probably not to your idiot offspring.
		Blair's vision goes much further, I think, to a political scene without parties – where parties, in fact, are irrelevant, where the idea of a party is absurd – to a 'policy marketplace' of shifting personalities and issues and platforms.

		Governments with a small majority, or coalition governments, are much more vulnerable, and sometimes have to resort to extreme measures, such as "wheeling in" sick MPs, to get the necessary majority.
		However, the British political culture isn't a 'pure' two-party system as smaller parties, such as the Liberal Democrats have members at Westminster.

		All of the big parties, and their supporters in the media, devote much manpower to monitoring the behavior of their opponents and leaping on anything that might be cited as evidence that this person cannot be trusted to hold public office.
		Rather, they have become tools of the political class and sections of the media, a means of embarrassing one's foes out of office.
		Ginsberg argue, the public becomes a group of "virtual citizens" who can only "watch political struggles in which we are not invited to participate." As politics becomes like the courts of old, the people once again become plebs who observe their masters bickering.
