The study of local political recruitment has received little attention in Britain. This paper begins with a justification for research in this area along with a discussion of the concept of political recruitment. From this examination the paper proceeds towards specifying those aspects of political recruitment which need to be investigated if we are to understand it as a dynamic process. Finally, some preliminary findings are presented of the factors associated with the political recruitment of Labour Councillors and the implications of the type of Councillor for political attitudes
