Class and the Vote Before the First World War

Kenneth D. Wald

British Journal of Political Science, 1978, vol. 8, issue 4, 441-457

Abstract: Pulzer's dictum – ‘Class is the basis of British party politics, all else is embellishment and detail’ – expresses a consensus about the social basis of partisan conflict in contemporary Britain. Although there are exceptions and important qualifications, recent research confirms the conclusion that social class is the foremost influence on partisan loyalties and a potent factor in electoral behaviour.
