«Britain today presents a puzzling spectacle. Outwardly, materially, the country is prospering, and there is no particular call for change. The huge majority of the population continue to subscribe to inherited moral values and traditions; they also seem to appreciate as ever the great institutions of state that in the tests of war and peace down the centuries have guaranteed freedom under the law—the one thing that made Britain what it was, and an example to the rest of the world.
At the same time, however, the country is in the hands of a government that is single-mindedly recasting or scrapping these institutions of state. The ancient union among England, Wales, Scotland, and Ulster has been broken. Membership in the House of Lords now involves party patronage rather than hereditary principle. Among other novelties, proportional representation has been introduced in some elections and may be extended to others; it is now a criminal offense to use imperial weights and measures rather than the new metric system; and trial by jury may soon be restricted.»
