Probably true. In his
Literary Theory: An Introduction, Terry Eagleton states that "I am free to vote Labour or Conservative, but if I try to act on the belief that this choice itself merely masks a deeper prejudice - the prejudice that the meaning of democracy is confined to putting a cross on a ballot paper every few years - then ... I might end up in jail." Eagleton is currently working in Lancashire as Distinguished Professor of English Literature at Lancaster University. He is the UK's answer to Noam Chomsky.
