The Loyalties of Voters

by Richard Rose, Ian McAllister

What determines the loyalties of voters? The factors identified by social scientists range from a politician′s last-minute television appeal to the social class of the voter′s parents. But which of the many influences are most important electorally? For the first time The Loyalties of Voters offers a convincing answer, firmly based on an analysis of three decades of electoral behaviour.
