Electoral Nationalisation, Dealignment and Realignment
Has the behaviour of Australian voters become more 'nationalised' over time? Kemp (1978) and to a lesser extent Aitkin (1968) conclude that it has. Using more precise and comprehensive measures of nationalisation, a more standard (variance-components) statistical method and longer and directly comparable series of data, I qualify this conclusion heavily and place it on a firmer theoretical footing. I find that voting behaviour has generally been …
A Gender Gap in Australia? Commonwealth Elections 1910-96
This article describes and tests a process which generates the 'pro-coalition gender gap' in electoral behaviour which has been observed in recent research. More detailed analysis, however, indicates that this gap is more apparent than real: for almost three-quarters of the electorate (those who are not members of trade unions) the electoral behaviour of men and women is virtually identical. Further, sex segregation in the workforce appears at le…
Of Time and Partisan Stability Revisited
Theory: I expand and elaborate, in an effort to understand more fully the growth and development of partisanship, the insights of Converse (1969) and Inglehart and Hochstein (1972). Hypotheses: (i) Behavioral partisanship (i.e., the proportion of voters supporting the same party at two successive elections) develops primarily as a function of time; (ii) behavioral partisanship responds primarily to economic and other crises. Methods: Thomsen's (1…
Popular support for ‘Mr Keating's republic
The recent changes in popular attitudes towards an Australian republic] provide an object lesson in the way in which a relatively dormant issue characterised by more or less stable opinions over a long period can quickly be transformed when opinion leaders suddenly raise its profile and put it high on the public agenda (Bean 1993, 194–5
Stability and change at commonwealth elections, 1910–69
This article investigates and revises the conventional wisdom about aggregate‐level electoral change at Commonwealth elections. Unlike previous Australian analyses, it distinguishes temporary from permanent change and uniform from heterogeneous change. It also formulates rival hypotheses about the extent, timing and source of such change, and it tests them with a new source of data. It shows, in sharp contrast to the conventional wisdom, that sig…
The National Progressive Party of Canada, 1921–1930
This article tests hypotheses about the electoral support of Canada's first—and perhaps most significant—third party. It demonstrates that two micro-economic concepts, price elasticity of demand and efficiency of production, describe accurately the material base of Progressive party support. It thereby subsumes the study of agrarian parties and voting behaviour within a more general (public choice) framework. It also clarifies and substantiates i…
Economic Conditions and the Vote
This article analyses the influence of economic conditions upon the behaviour of voters in elections to Australian, Canadian and New Zealand legislatures between the First and Second World Wars. It shows that this influence need be neither uniform nor unconditional: rather, it is contingent upon both political and economic phenomena. The existence of the relationship as well as its form and strength differ systematically in different settings. It…
Rational behaviour, economic conditions and the Australian country party, 1922–1937
This article analyses the electoral support of the candidates of the Australian Country Party at Commonwealth (Senate) elections between the First and Second World Wars. It differs markedly, in terms of its premises, method and conclusions, from ‘orthodox’ analyses of the party's electoral support. Orthodox analyses state implicitly that rational (ie. goal‐directed, income‐maximising) considerations do not underlie the behaviour of the supporters…
