‘Party competition and dual accountability in multi-level systems’ the independence echo: the rise of the constitutional question in Scottish election manifestos and voter behaviour
'Informa UK Limited', 2020Co-Authors: Greene Zachary, Mcmillan FraserAbstract:Since the formation of the Scottish Parliament, the idea of Scottish independence increased in salience and popularity among Scottish voters to such an extent that it now constitutes the country’s defining Political Cleavage. Given that Scottish politics is increasingly organized around this constitutional question, support for either side of the debate among voters and elites drives Political engagement, election turnout and public attitudes to other major issues. Although much popular and academic work has sought to explain the rise of support for independence, few scholars have explored changes in elite behaviour or its consequences for public opinion. From an elite-driven perspective, the increased salience of independence may be but an echo of elite and partisan attention. Developing hypotheses from this approach, we predict that voters identifying with parties developed stronger views on independence following increased attention in parties’ campaigns. We examine these hypotheses by performing computer assisted, unsupervised content analysis of Scottish Parties’ election manifestos. We then use estimates from a structural topic model to predict change in voter support for independence from the British Election Study. The theory and results suggest that increasing salience on alternative dimensions of politics likely closely relates to elite-driven choices in their election campaigns

'Party competition and dual accountability in multi-level systems' the independence echo : the rise of the constitutional question in Scottish election manifestos and voter behaviour
'Informa UK Limited', 2020Co-Authors: Greene Zachary, Mcmillan FraserAbstract:Since the formation of the Scottish Parliament, the idea of Scottish independence has increased in both salience and popularity among voters in Scotland to such an extent that it now constitutes the country’s defining Political Cleavage. Given that Scottish politics is increasingly organised around this constitutional question, it stands to reason that support for either side of the debate among both voters and elites drives Political engagement, election turnout and public attitudes to other major issues. Although much popular and academic work has sought to explain the rise of support for independence, few scholars have explored changes in elite behaviour or its consequences for public opinion. From an elite-driven perspective, the increased salience of independence may be but an echo of elite and partisan attention.

LSE EUROPP Blog, 2017Co-Authors: Mark Bovens, Anchrit WilleAbstract:Several recent European elections, as well as the UK's referendum on Brexit, have produced a clear split in voting choices between citizens with different levels of education. Mark Bovens and Anchrit Wille argue that a new Political Cleavage in Europe has emerged between citizens with high levels of education and those with lower levels of educational attainment, with the former group more likely to support green and liberal parties, and the latter drawn toward nationalism.

the elephant in the room no more europe as a structuring line of Political Cleavage in the 2017 presidential election
French Politics, 2017Co-Authors: Emmanuelle SchonquinlivanAbstract:It is traditionally argued that the topic of European integration is rather absent or under-discussed in French Political debate. In this context, it came as a surprise that the 2017 French presidential election turned into a ‘referendum sur l’appartenance a l’Union’ (Costa 2017). This article argues that after many presidential campaigns where Europe remained ‘the elephant in the room’, 2017 saw its settling as a clear line of Cleavage between Political parties, relegating the traditional left/right Cleavage to a secondary position. The politicisation of socio-economic questions at European level also signalled a move away from the traditional value-based Eurosceptic grounds towards a will to shape the debate in the direction of a more social Europe.
