“…Indeed their authors have demonstrated that these agents not only popularised the ideas of political elites; they also modified their meanings in order to maximise their appeal. 50 But if we are now equipped with an awareness of the range of institutions that have been engaged in the production and consumption of political ideas, it is nonetheless the case that political parties tend to be regarded as the supreme arbiters of their value. Indeed most studies of Britain's liberal, socialist and conservative tradition tend to be anchored to the histories of Britain's main parties.…”

This article explores the way in which scholars of twentieth-century British politics have engaged with the concept of ideology. It begins by revisiting Michael Freeden's seminal intervention on the subject before going on to assess the way in which recent work has challenged, and indeed preserved, older assumptions about the nature and function of political ideas. In doing so, it pursues two objectives: it seeks to demonstrate the consequences of regarding ideas as a significant feature of twentieth-century politics, and it attempts to encourage a more vibrant dialogue between historians and other disciplines that are contributing to the field of ideology studies.

In 1957, the Labour Party published radical proposals for a state earnings-related pension scheme ('national superannuation') whose funds were to be invested in stock markets to generate high returns, and to help modernize and dynamize the British economy. This article explores a sophisticated campaign against the proposal by the insurance industry, and the resistance of the unions. In doing so, it considers the implications of this cross-class alliance, not least in terms of a possible missed opportunity to build a 'developmental state' in the UK, but also in terms of the country's increasingly inadequate and inequitable system of pension provision.The failure of 'nationalization by attraction'
