The substantive representation of women on ‘morality politics’ issues in Australia and the UK: How does the substantive representation of women occur in conservative parties
This article aims to contribute to the growing literature on the substantive representation of women in conservative parties by evaluating MPs’ claims to ‘act for women’ during parliamentary debates on reproductive health and same-sex marriage in the UK and Australia. It argues that the actions of centre-right MPs who made claims about the situation of women in their speeches can be understood as the substantive representation of women, but the n…
Free Vote Patterns in the New South Wales State Parliament
This research note examines patterns of MPs’ voting behaviour during ‘conscience’ or ‘free’ votes on three ‘morality politics’ issues in the lower house of the New South Wales state parliament in Australia: adoption rights for gay couples; scientists’ use of therapeutic cloning; and the status of the Sydney Medically Supervised Injection Centre. First, the research note reviews the literature on conscience voting and hypothesises that party will …
How Do MPs in Westminster Democracies Vote When Unconstrained by Party Discipline? A Comparison of Free Vote Patterns on Marriage Equality Legislation
The UK and Australian literature on free vote patterns highlights that, even under 'unwhipped' free vote circumstances, party membership remains the key predictor of MPs' voting patterns. However, analyses of free votes have focused on single parliaments
Beyond party discipline: UK Parliamentary voting on fox hunting

The research note examines levels of intra-party cohesion during free voting on abortion, euthanasia and same-sex civil partnerships and marriage in the lower houses of four Westminster-style parliaments: Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. In free vote circumstances, to what extent do political parties in these ‘most similar’ parliaments remain cohesive? Do political parties with similar ideological commitments exhibit similar levels of …
Divisions in the Conservative Party on Conscience Issues: Comment on Philip Cowley and Mark Stuart, 'Party Rules, OK: Voting in the House of Commons on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill
Cowley and Stuart argue that, while conscience issues remain primarily party issues, the parties, and most particularly the Conservative Party, are becoming more cohesive. This article engages with their work on two fronts. First, we suggest that their assertion that the Conservative Party is more united than it was needs some qualification. Second, we argue that the divisions within the two main parties need to be explained; an issue to which, w…
