The SDP and the Left-Right Dimension
When the SDP was founded in March 1981 it was a product of two main strands of opinion embodied in the persons of Roy Jenkins on the one hand and the ‘Gang of Three’ (David Owen, Shirley Williams and William Rodgers) on the other. Jenkins was the first of the four to talk openly of the desirability of ‘breaking the mould’ of British politics by the formation of a new centre party. During his time as President of the European Commission he had bec…

Marginality and Turnout in British General Elections
One of the most striking features of British general election results is the large variation in turnout from one constituency to another. In the 1970 election, for instance, turnout in Britain ranged from 44–9 per cent in Stepney to 85–3 per cent in Cornwall North. Moreover, the variation in turnout has become greater in recent years. While the mean turnout in general elections has tended to fall, the standard deviation of turnout has increased s…
The Political Socialization of Activists in the British Communist Party
In the ten years or so since the publication of Hyman's seminal work, 1 students of politics have given increasing attention to political socialization. There has been a proliferation of works utilizing the concept. 2 The notion of socialization has perhaps been most rigorously applied in studies of the development of the political attitudes of children and adolescents, 3 but it has also been employed, if rather more loosely, in the study of adul…

The Impact of the Campaign on the Results of Local Government Elections
In a recent article in this journal1 we reported the results of an experiment designed to investigate, amongst other things, the effect of canvassing and polling-day activity upon the results of local government elections. On the basis of our data we argued that thorough canvassing before polling day and ‘knocking up’ on the day produced an appreciable increase in turnout. We also showed that, in a situation in which only one party organized the …
Turnout and Marginality in Local Elections: A Comment
In his brief note on turnout and marginality in a recent issue of this journal Newton [K. Newton, ‘Turnout and Marginality in Local Elections’, II (1972), 251–5], raises some interesting questions. In our view, however, the boldness of some of his conclusions is not warranted by the evidence he presents or by his supporting argument. In particular, we think three points deserve comment
Canvassing, Turnout and Party Support: An Experiment
The contribution made by the efforts of local party organizations to the results of elections is much disputed. Butler and Rose, writing on the 1959 General Election, whilst conceding that ‘In seats with a majority of a few hundreds it would be absurd to deny that local organizations can make all the difference to the result’, nevertheless conclude that‘... if all constituency electioneering were abandoned, the national outcome would probably be …
