By The Economist

In February 2014, The Economist interviewed Douglas Carswell, MP for Clacton, as part of our essay on democracy. He gave us his thoughts on the culture of political parties, the need for reform in Parliament and how the Labour and Conservative Parties are failing to modernise. On August 28th he defected from the Conservative Party to UKIP, a right-wing populist party, triggering a by-election in his Essex seat.
