Sleeping or Active Partners: Danish Party Members at the Turn of the Millennium
The article is based on a newly conducted survey of Danish party members. It shows that Danish party members enrol because of the ideology and national policies of the preferred party, and because they want to support the party. A significant number of members leave their party every year, and as many as one-fifth consider leaving, but new members also enrol. Compared to voters, members are not gender and age representative, but are to some exten…
The Danish Election 1998
The article analyzes the Danish national election in March 1998. Jdged from the aggregate figures, Denmark has stabilized. Net volatility was moderate, ‘bloc’ volatility was close to zero, and despite forecasts of a non‐socialist victory, the Social Democratic‐led government managed to continue. Further, in the 1990s, the periods between elections have been close to the maximum four years. Therefore, the old picture from the 1970s of Danish polit…
Unions in politics: Public opinion in the United Kingdom and Denmark
The paper examines public opinion about the political involvement of trade unions in the UK and Denmark. Both are systems in which trade unions are linked to a political party and both have high rates of union density. However, whereas British unions have contested governments of both parties and opposed regulation of industrial relations, Danish unions have a tradition of cooperation with government and are entangled in a web of institutionalize…
Ambiguities in Attitudes towards Interest Group Influence
Scandinavian countries are characterized by high electoral participation and high enrollment in interest organizations. Consequently, most citizens are represented in politics by both parties and organizations, and the problem is which kind of representation citizens prefer. Danish survey data show that members appreciate their interest organizations. Furthermore, the public wants government to stay out of industrial relations and to consult inte…
Electoral Politics and The Corporate System: The Question of Support
Much analysis has pointed to the impact of interest organisations on policy‐making. This paper focuses on the importance of interest organisations at the mass level. The sympathies of citizens for parties and interest organisations are compared, and it is shown (a) that organisations more often than parties are ‘neutral objects’; for the citizens and (b) that most citizens — even members of the organisations — rate parties higher than they do int…
Size and Evaluation of Government: Danish Attitudes towards Politics at Multiple Levels of Government
The paper starts out from descriptions of Danish voters as protest voters, and the main problem is whether ‘protest’ as measured by distrust towards the national politicians is an indicator of a general negative attitude towards politics. A main distinction is made between distrust and lack of efficacy, and a second between national and local politics. It is found that there is hardly any lack of efficacy among the voters, and, further, that loca…
Upstairs and Downstairs in Danish Politics: An Analysis of Political Apathy and Social Structure
Party membership in Denmark has declined over the past two decades at the same time as different forms of more unconventional political behaviour have become more frequent. This analysis of the various modes of participation suggests that political participation is likely to become more status‐based and protest‐oriented, and that the system of participation has become more fragmented, especially among the young
