tactical unwind changes in Party Preference structure and tactical voting in britain between 2001 and 2005
Journal of Elections Public Opinion & Parties, 2006Co-Authors: Stephen D Fisher, John CurticeAbstract:Abstract The breakdown of the relatively close relationship between Labour and the Liberal Democrats between 2001 and 2005 provides reason to expect that both the incidence and the character of tactical voting would have been different at the 2005 general election as compared with other recent elections. Fewer voters would be expected to have voted tactically overall, and in particular fewer would be expected to have made a tactical switch between the Liberal Democrats and Labour. This paper examines whether those expectations were fulfilled. It finds that the increased hostility between the leaderships of the Labour and the Liberal Democrat parties was not reflected in the attitudes of those parties’ supporters. Nevertheless there does seem to have been some decline in tactical switching from Labour to the Liberal Democrats, engendered perhaps by an apparent decline in hostility towards the Conservatives. Otherwise, however, there is no consistent evidence that the incidence or pattern of tactical voting...

internet use voter turnout and Party Preference across four regime types in east asia
Taiwan journal of democracy, 2015Co-Authors: Paul Minard, Mathieu LandriaultAbstract:Although the advent of the Internet age has seen the growth of a substantial body of theoretical and empirical work on the effects of media revolutions on citizens' political behavior, the existing literature has not investigated how these effects might vary by regime type. Using a comprehensive dataset including over 21,000 individuals in eleven East Asian states representing four regime types, we find that the effect of Internet use on voter turnout and Party Preference differs significantly by regime type. Whereas Internet users are slightly less likely to vote in mature and immature democracies, they are nearly twice as likely to do so in immature anocracies. Moreover, although Internet users in full democracies are slightly more likely to vote for ＂major＂ parties than non-users, an opposite effect of a much larger magnitude is found in anocracies.

intergenerational transmission of political Party Preference in the netherlands
Social Science Research, 1995Co-Authors: Paul Nieuwbeerta, Karin WittebroodAbstract:Abstract This article examines the intergenerational transmission of political Party Preference by analyzing data from a national representative survey of high school students in the Netherlands in 1991 ( N = 5,148). Multinominal logistic diagonal reference models are applied to analyze the data. In general, no difference is found between the relative influence of father′s and mother′s political Party Preference. However, father′s Party Preference has more of an effect on son′s Party Preference than mother′s, while mother′s Party Preference has more impact on daughter′s Party Preference than father′s. Finally, contrary to our hypothesis, the chance of children with politically heterogeneous parents having a political Party Preference is no less than that of children of politically homogeneous parents.

ideological motives digital divides and political polarization how do political Party Preference and values correspond with the political use of social media
Telematics and Informatics, 2020Co-Authors: Ilkka Koiranen, Aki Koivula, Arttu Saarinen, Teo KeipiAbstract:Abstract Social media provides new platforms for political participation and ideological categorization. However, little research has been done on how Party Preference is related to politically active social media use. We begin with a consideration of how political participation on social media has evolved between various socio-economic and demographic groups in advanced information societies and especially in Finland. In our empirical analysis we examine the general use of social media as well as its use for political purposes with the aid of a nationally representative dataset, collected in 2017–2018 from 3724 Finnish citizens. We argue that there are notable differences between parties when examining their supporters’ social media use for political purposes. The differences are related to the digital divides and political extremes. The results confirmed the idea that new political movements made up of younger and more educated supporters have been successful by leveraging social media. The study also revealed that the ideological gap between Party supporters is greater in social media especially when examining new kinds of politics based on cultural questions, identity issues, and post-materialist values.

Political trust, political Party Preference and trust in knowledge-based institutions
International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy, 2019Co-Authors: Arttu Saarinen, Aki Koivula, Teo KeipiAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the association between political Party Preference and trust in knowledge-based institutions, while also considering how political trust facilitates the association. The authors focus on the opinions of supporters of the six largest parliamentary political parties in Finland. Design/methodology/approach The data are based on a population level survey. First, the authors compared Party supporters’ trust in universities and YLE media. Second, the authors analyzed how political trust contributes to Party supporters’ trust in knowledge-based institutions by estimating predicted probabilities. Third, the authors derived the partial correlations from the non-linear probability models incorporated separately between trust in YLE, Universities and political trust, and compared the correlations across the parties. Finally, the authors conducted the logit models from which the authors post-estimated the predicted probabilities of having high trust in YLE and Universities according to the levels of political trust separately for each Party. Findings The results showed a cumulation of trust, reflecting especially on the attitudes of the populist Party supporters who tended to have lower trust in knowledge-based institutions and distrust was highly associated with low political trust. This cumulation of trust shows an interesting dynamic in how closely institutions are linked together in terms of attitudes on their legitimacy. Originality/value This study assesses the cumulation of distrust, while providing an alternative political spectrum to the US two Party system that has been the major focus of past research. Furthermore, the study fills a gap in the research by being the first to assess the intersection of the trust dimensions.
