New tech, new threat? Occupational exposure to artificial intelligence increases support for AI regulation
How does occupational exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) shape workers’ political attitudes? We address this question by combining detailed occupation-level measures of AI’s task capabilities with original, nationally-representative survey data from Britain on political attitudes and perceived job threats and opportunities. This design allows us to distinguish workers’ objective occupational exposure to AI from their subjective beliefs abou…
Perceived class positions and opinion-based polarisation
Class divisions over emerging policy issues are well-documented, yet the mechanisms driving these divisions remain underexplored. This article argues that perceptions of how the working class positions itself on divisive political issues, specifically immigration and the environment, fuel polarisation between opinion-based groups and self-identified social classes. Using a vignette survey experiment in the UK, we leverage the base-rate fallacy to…

The Covid-19 Pandemic in Britain
Competence shocks cut through partisan and other salient divides to impact party reputations and electoral choice. We examine whether the COVID-19 pandemic was a competence shock in Britain – a context where the issue of Brexit had otherwise dominated and reshaped electoral choice. Using British Election Study panel data between 2019 and 2022, we show that Brexit support had little effect on pandemic performance evaluations, that the pandemic ser…

The changing class and educational composition of the UK political elite since 1945
Debates over the changing nature of the UK political elite have focused on questions of representation and the extent of class convergence between the leaderships of the Conservative and Labour parties. We present a new comprehensive survey of the class and educational composition of the membership of Conservative and Labour cabinets and shadow cabinets since 1945. Some convergence in the class composition of the leaderships is apparent, but intr…
Boris Johnson to the Rescue? How the Conservatives Won the Radical-Right Vote in the 2019 General Election
How can centre–right parties in majoritarian systems adapt to threats from the radical right? Using a long-term inter-election panel study, we identify a remarkably stable constituency of support for Britain’s recent radical-right parties – the UK Independence Party and the Brexit Party. We show also how these same voters defected from the Conservatives across elections. In response, the government used a combination of the election of a new lead…
Volatility, Realignment, and Electoral Shocks
The 2019 UK General Election had seismic consequences for British politics. After three years of political turmoil following the 2016 referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union (EU), the 2019 election marked a victory for the Leave side of the Brexit debate, putting to rest questions of a second referendum and any chance of Parliament blocking the Withdrawal Bill. The United Kingdom left the EU on January 31, 2020. Although there we…
The conditional politics of class identity
The sources, meaning and political implications of class identity are conditional on national context, reflecting the relative importance of cultural (status-related) versus economic (resource-related) influences on class identification. Unlike Danes, the majority of Britons continue to identify as working class. This difference between the two societies is robust across the span of 50 years of survey data analysed. It is unrelated to national va…
The Brexit learning effect? Brexit negotiations and attitudes towards leaving the EU beyond the UK
Britain’s decision to leave the EU did not go unnoticed by the remaining EU states. Previous studies have shown that the assessment of the Brexit decision shortly after the referendum took place influenced the voting behaviour of citizens in a hypothetical EU referendum held in their country. This research note goes one step further by examining whether citizens’ willingness to leave the EU changed during the following three years of prolonged Br…
Multiple Winning Formulae? Far Right Voters and Parties in Eastern Europe
Can theories explaining far right voting in Western Europe be extended to post-communist Eastern Europe? We address this question with a comparative demand-side analysis of far right parties and their voters in four post-communist countries: Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovakia. Our findings indicate the emergence of two distinct types of far right party. While the Latvian and Lithuanian far right resemble the new radical right (NRR) model, …
Rebuilding Walls
We ask whether the transition from socialism to the market is consequential for social mobility, and, by implication, the permeability of class structures. While the short-term effects of market transition on patterns of social mobility have been documented for a small number of countries, we are able to examine the long-term effects of market transition for a group of 13 central and eastern European (CEE) countries. Only in the longer term can w…
The New Politics of Class after the 2017 General Election
The first thing to do is, of course, thank the four authors for all of their thoughts on the New Politics of Class (from now on NPC). In this response, we want to both address some of the issues that they raise, but also reflect a little on our findings and conclusion in the light of the 2017 general election. Before doing either of these, it is perhaps worth setting out the main argument of the book which focuses on three main claims about Briti…
Sand-spit accumulations at the mouths of the eastern Cantabrian estuaries
Beyond Valence
Whiteley et al. criticize our re-analysis of the valence model of party choice. In reply, we argue that they are mistaken with regard to their understanding of some of the claims made in our paper and, in one instance, the variables included in the analysis. We also point to flaws in their interpretation of the distinction between weak and contemporaneous endogeneity and the assumptions of their vector error correction model. Their argument privi…

Age, Inequality, and Reactions to Marketization in Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe
The transition to the market economy has brought increasing age-related inequalities and diverging access to market-based opportunities. This can be expected to result in the polarization of the economic experiences and expectations of different age groups. Examining national surveys conducted in 12 Central and Eastern European countries across a 14-year period we find stable age differences in recent reported economic experience and evidence of …
Reliability and predictive validity of the Food Technology Neophobia Scale
Reversing the Causal Arrow
Many economic voting models assume that individual voters’ reactions to incumbents are strongly conditioned by their perceptions of the performance of the macroeconomy. However, the direction of causality between economic perceptions and political preferences is unclear: economic perceptions can be a consequence of incumbent support rather than an influence on it. We develop the latter thesis by examining the dynamic relationship between retrospe…
Ethnic party competition and the dynamics of power sharing in Northern Ireland
Since their first individual and joint publications on Northern Ireland in the late 1980s, John McGarry and Brendan O’Leary developed a diagnosis of the “Northern Ireland problem” which focused on the close interconnection between the endogenous and exogenous sources of conflict.1 In particular, they emphasized that at the core of the conflict is a clash of national identities, with Northern Ireland representing the territorial line of retreat of…

Flow Cytometric Sorting of Fresh and Frozen‐Thawed Spermatozoa in the Western Lowland Gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
We adapted flow cytometry technology for high‐purity sorting of X chromosome‐bearing spermatozoa in the western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ). Our objectives were to develop methodologies for liquid storage of semen prior to sorting, sorting of liquid‐stored and frozen‐thawed spermatozoa, and assessment of sorting accuracy. In study 1, the in vitro sperm characteristics of gorilla ejaculates from one male were unchanged ( P >0.05) a…

A Latent Class Analysis of the Criterion-Related and Construct Validity of the Goldthorpe Class Schema
This paper assesses whether a class structure can be discerned using job characteristics as indicators of class positions derived from employment relations. A structure underlying the distribution of these characteristics is identified using latent class analysis. The relation between this structure and the J. Goldthorpe class schema is then modelled, allowing an assessment of the latter's criterion-related validity. Both the latent class represe…
