valence politics and electoral choice in britain 2010
Journal of Elections Public Opinion & Parties, 2011Co-Authors: Harold D Clarke, Marianne C. Stewart, David Sanders, Paul WhiteleyAbstract:Abstract This paper presents the results of analyses of forces shaping electoral choice in the 2010 British general Election. The analyses are based primarily on data gathered in the Campaign Internet Panel Survey (CIPS) that was conducted as part of the 2010 British Election Study (BES). Tests of rival models of electoral choice reveal that, as in earlier British Elections, a valence politics model provides a strong explanation of voting decisions. However, as in those earlier contests, a model based on the spatial modelling tradition also contributes to understanding how voters made up their minds in 2010. The paper concludes by reprising major findings and discussing why the Conservatives failed to secure a majority in a context seemingly ideally suited for them to do so.

The Endogeneity of Preferences in Spatial Models: Evidence from the 2005 British Election Study
Journal of Elections Public Opinion & Parties, 2008Co-Authors: David Sanders, Marianne C. Stewart, Harold D Clarke, Paul WhiteleyAbstract:Anthony Downs' highly influential spatial model of electoral choice assumes that voters’ ideological/policy preferences are fixed. This paper uses a national internet experiment conducted in the 2005 British Election Study to turn this assumption into a testable hypothesis. Pace Downs, results indicate that voters’ preferences are not exogenous, but rather can be influenced by information about the ideological/policy positions of political parties, such as that provided in Election campaigns. Voters are attracted by party cues, rather than repelled by them. Information about the positions of party leaders per se is inconsequential. These findings have important implications for the specification of spatial models and the design of national Election studies.

Does mode matter for modeling political choice? Evidence from the 2005 British Election Study
Political Analysis, 2007Co-Authors: David Sanders, Marianne C. Stewart, Harold D Clarke, Paul WhiteleyAbstract:Although political scientists have begun to investigate the properties of Internet surveys, much remains to be learned about the utility of the Internet mode for conducting major survey research projects such as national Election studies. This paper addresses this topic by presenting the results of an extensive survey comparison experiment conducted as part of the 2005 British Election Study. Analyses show statistically significant, but generally small, differences in distributions of key explanatory variables in models of turnout and party choice. Estimating model parameters reveals that there are few statistically significant differences between coefficients generated using the in-person and Internet data, and the relative explanatory power of rival models is virtually identical for the two types of data. In general, the in-person and Internet data tell very similar stories about what matters for turnout and party preference in Britain. Determining if similar findings obtain in other countries should have high priority on the research agenda for national Election studies.

The effect of public opinion and politics on attitudes towards pill testing: Results from the 2019 Australian Election Study.
Drug and alcohol review, 2020Co-Authors: Ian Mcallister, Toni MakkaiAbstract:Introduction and aims Following several deaths due to drug overdoses at music festivals in Australia, pill testing (or drug checking) has been proposed as a means of reducing the risk to young people. However, pill testing is a politically controversial policy in Australia. This paper examines the political dimension to the debate, its relationship with other social issues and how it divides party supporters. Design and methods The data come from the 2019 Australian Election Study survey-a large (n = 2179), nationally weighted representative probability survey conducted immediately after the federal Election. Bivariate and multivariate analyses are used to identify the social groups, attitudes and vote preferences most associated with public views about pill testing. Results Almost two-thirds of the public support pill testing at music festivals. The young and those who do not attend church are most likely to express support. Supporters of other liberal social opinions, such as the legalisation of marijuana, are also strongly supportive of pill testing. Those who vote for one of the two main conservative parties are less likely to support pill testing. Discussion and conclusions While a majority of the public support pill testing, beyond the Australian Capital Territory this has not translated into policy in other jurisdictions. The results show that there is a high level of political polarisation surrounding opinions among both voters and political elites. This issue must be addressed if the policy is to be advanced as part of an overall harm reduction approach to drug use.

Election studies: What's their use?
American Political Science Review, 2002Co-Authors: Mark N. FranklinAbstract:In 1999, Kathleen Hall Jamieson of the Annenberg School for Communications, University of Pennsylvania, was awarded a large grant to fund a survey-based Study of the 2000 presidential Election. In anticipation of that Study, and to help in its design, a colloquium was held in the Fall of 1999, titled “What's a Good Election Study, and What Are Election Studies Good for?” The chapters contained in Election Studies: What's Their Use? are the product of that colloquium.

On the durability of Green politics : Evidence from the 1989 European Election Study
Comparative Political Studies, 1995Co-Authors: Mark N. Franklin, Wolfgang RudigAbstract:Green parties have been seen by some scholars as expressing a new cleavage that should give them the same sort of permanence as was once enjoyed by traditional cleavage-based parties, but other scholars suggest that support for Green parties will prove more ephemeral if Green issues are eventually taken up by older parties. In this article, we Study the prospects for Green party durability from several perspectives using data from the 1989 European Election Study. We conclude that while Green parties are unlikely to demonstrate extreme volatility, neither do they have any guarantee of long-term support. In reaching this conclusion, we assess postmaterialist and other theoretical perspectives on Green voting, none of which account satisfactorily for observed phenomena. The ubiquitous importance of environmental concern, however, suggests the possibility of an ecological cleavage underlying the support for Green parties.

The 2001 British Election Study Internet Poll
Journal of Political Marketing, 2004Co-Authors: David Sanders, Marianne C. Stewart, Paul Whiteley, Harold D Clarke, Joe TwymanAbstract:ABSTRACT This paper reports on the findings of the Internet component of the 2001 BES and compares them with those of the other BES pre-Election surveys. Part 1 outlines the rationale that underpins the introduction of Internet polling as a supplement to more traditional methods of assessing mass public opinion. Part 2 describes the marginal distributions on the key dependent variable-the projected vote shares of the main political parties-of the three pre-Election polls that were conducted using BES questionnaires. Intriguingly, the (unweighted) Internet-based poll provided a better guess of the actual vote shares in the subsequent Election than either of the two conventional polls. Part 3 provides a more detailed comparison of the profiles of the face-to-face and Internet-based polls. It shows how the Internet poll, compared with the face-to-face poll, was skewed demographically towards the professional classes and politically towards the Conservative Party. Part 4 explores the extent to which the use o...
