Preferences, Loyalty and Party Choice

John Hudson

Public Choice, 1995, vol. 82, issue 3-4, 325-40

Abstract: This paper analyzes the electorate's voting intentions with respect to the Labour and Conservative parties in Great Britain. Almost all policy issues are found to be endogenous, i.e., to be influenced by party choice within a simultaneous relationship. Socioeconomic factors that influence choice through the endogenous policy issues include education, geographical location, age, gender, income, and wealth. Parental, particularly maternal, influence is also found to be important and not to decline with age or education. The paper also highlights the importance of competence, rather than policy, issues.
