Voting Behaviour and Social Class 1979-2005
 Click here for data from IPSOS MORI on relationships
between social class and voting behaviour 1974- 2005.
 However remember the problems of defining social class
and the different approaches to the measurement of
class dealignment.
 The following three slides illustrate the changing
relationships between social class and voting behaviour
between 1992 and 2005 as measured by the AB, C1, C2
and DE social class schema.

Gender and Voting Behaviour 1974-2005
 Click here for IPSOS MORI data on Gender and Voting Behaviour
1974- 2005
 Click here for IPSOS MORI data on gender, age and voting
behaviour in the 2005 General Election
 The following 4 slides have been copied directly from the first part of
the voting behaviour presentation. You may already have seen
these!
143/28/2014
Gender and Voting Behaviour [1]
 Relationships between gender and voting behaviour are summarised in
trends in the so-called gender gap in voting behaviour
 The gender gap is defined as the difference between the % Conservative-
Labour lead among women and the % Conservative-Labour lead among
men.
 Calculated in this way a negative gender gap indicates that women were
more pro-Conservative than men and a positive gender gap suggests that
men are more pro-Conservative than women.
 Gender gaps have indeed been negative for much of the post 2nd World
War period but have declined in the 1990s and in 2005 there was a positive
gender gap.
 Click here and scroll down for gender gap calculations 1974-2005
from IPSOS MORI
153/28/2014
Gender and Voting Behaviour [2]
 The pro-Conservative/anti –Labour tendencies of female voters
relative to male voters for much of the post-war period were
explained by the following factors.
 Women were less likely to be in employment than men and when
they were in employment, less likely than men to be in heavily
unionised occupations where Labour voting was most likely.
 It was suggested that for much of the post –war period women could
on average be described as having a more traditional outlook on life
than men. Not a very convincing argument nowadays , you might
think.
 On average women live longer than men and older people are more
pro-Conservative and anti- Labour than young people
163/28/2014
Gender and Voting Behaviour [3]
 The extent of relatively pro-Conservative/ anti-Labour voting
behaviour among women always varied according to age and social
class.
 Also from the late 1980s this trend in female behaviour began to be
reversed such that in 2005 women were relatively anti-
Conservative/pro-Labour in comparison with men.

Gender and Voting Behaviour [4]
 The data on the previous slide indicate that by 2005 younger
women are particularly pro-Labour and anti-Conservative perhaps
due to long run generational changes in attitudes and values and/or
to the return to Parliament of an increasing number of female,
Labour MPs and/or to Labour's greater willingness to campaign on
female related issues. However many young women may have been
dissuaded from voting Labour as a result of UK involvement in the
Iraq war and , in any case no pro-Labour gender gap is present in
the case of female voters 55+
 It will be interesting to see whether this new female support for the
Labour Party holds up at the next General Election. What reasons
are there for believing that it might not?
193/28/2014
Voting Behaviour and non-Class Factors
 PJG Pulzer stated that “Class is the basis of British party politics: all
else is embellishment and detail.” We do however need to familiarise
ourselves with such details: i.e. with the possible effects of region,
ethnicity, age, gender and religion on voting behaviour.
 Voters in Scotland, Wales and Northern England are more likely to
vote Labour than voters in Southern England.
 Ethnic minority voters are more likely to vote Labour than white voters.
 Catholic voters were more likely to vote Labour than Protestant voters.
 In each of these three cases this could be explained partly [but not
entirely] by the indirect effects of social class in that the Scots, the
Welsh, ethnic minority members and Catholics are also
disproportionately likely to be working class [ which takes us back to
the Pulzer quotation]
 Click here and scroll down for further data and explanations re age,
gender, region, religion, ethnicity and voting behaviour.
 Note that many Muslim voters withdrew their support from Labour in the
2005 General Election as a result of the invasion of Iraq.

Variation in Election Turnout 2001 and 2005 : Affluence and Poverty
 2001 differential turnout by seat comparing poorer inner city with affluent southern
seats:
 Liverpool Riverside = 34%; Manchester Central = 39%; Hackney S & Shoreditch=
47%; Islington South = 47%; Bethnal Green & Bow = 49%.
 Oxford W & Abingdon = 65%; Buckingham = 69%; Norwich S = 68%; North Norfolk =
70%; Wyre Forest = 68%.
 In 2005 the highest English turnouts were in Dorset West [76.3%], Norfolk North
[73.0%] Richmond Park [72.8%] and Mole Valley [72.5%].
 In 2005 the lowest English turnouts were in Staffordshire South [37.2%], Liverpool
Riverside [41.5%], Manchester Central [42.0%] and Salford [42.4%].

Electoral Turnout: Useful Sources
 The analysis of electoral turnout raises a range of complex issues
many of which are discussed in the following sources.
 Click here and scroll down for very detailed analysis of the 2005
General Election by the authors of the 2005 British Election Study .
Scroll to page 4 for analysis of electoral turnout.
 Click here for the Power Report [which provides very detailed
information on British Democracy ,electoral turnout and related
issues ].
 Click here for full information on constituency differences in turnout
including maps of the UK and of the major UK conurbations.
[Already mentioned earlier.]
263/28/2014
Campaigns and Tactical Voting
 Campaigns and tactical voting are very important topics
within the study of voting behaviour.
 I hope to provide information on these topics at some
point in the future.

  • 13. 133/28/2014 Gender and Voting Behaviour 1974-2005  Click here for IPSOS MORI data on Gender and Voting Behaviour 1974- 2005  Click here for IPSOS MORI data on gender, age and voting behaviour in the 2005 General Election  The following 4 slides have been copied directly from the first part of the voting behaviour presentation. You may already have seen these!
  • 14. 143/28/2014 Gender and Voting Behaviour [1]  Relationships between gender and voting behaviour are summarised in trends in the so-called gender gap in voting behaviour  The gender gap is defined as the difference between the % Conservative- Labour lead among women and the % Conservative-Labour lead among men.  Calculated in this way a negative gender gap indicates that women were more pro-Conservative than men and a positive gender gap suggests that men are more pro-Conservative than women.  Gender gaps have indeed been negative for much of the post 2nd World War period but have declined in the 1990s and in 2005 there was a positive gender gap.  Click here and scroll down for gender gap calculations 1974-2005 from IPSOS MORI
  • 15. 153/28/2014 Gender and Voting Behaviour [2]  The pro-Conservative/anti –Labour tendencies of female voters relative to male voters for much of the post-war period were explained by the following factors.  Women were less likely to be in employment than men and when they were in employment, less likely than men to be in heavily unionised occupations where Labour voting was most likely.  It was suggested that for much of the post –war period women could on average be described as having a more traditional outlook on life than men. Not a very convincing argument nowadays , you might think.  On average women live longer than men and older people are more pro-Conservative and anti- Labour than young people
  • 16. 163/28/2014 Gender and Voting Behaviour [3]  The extent of relatively pro-Conservative/ anti-Labour voting behaviour among women always varied according to age and social class.  Also from the late 1980s this trend in female behaviour began to be reversed such that in 2005 women were relatively anti- Conservative/pro-Labour in comparison with men.

  • 18. 183/28/2014 Gender and Voting Behaviour [4]  The data on the previous slide indicate that by 2005 younger women are particularly pro-Labour and anti-Conservative perhaps due to long run generational changes in attitudes and values and/or to the return to Parliament of an increasing number of female, Labour MPs and/or to Labour's greater willingness to campaign on female related issues. However many young women may have been dissuaded from voting Labour as a result of UK involvement in the Iraq war and , in any case no pro-Labour gender gap is present in the case of female voters 55+  It will be interesting to see whether this new female support for the Labour Party holds up at the next General Election. What reasons are there for believing that it might not?
  • 19. 193/28/2014 Voting Behaviour and non-Class Factors  PJG Pulzer stated that “Class is the basis of British party politics: all else is embellishment and detail.” We do however need to familiarise ourselves with such details: i.e. with the possible effects of region, ethnicity, age, gender and religion on voting behaviour.  Voters in Scotland, Wales and Northern England are more likely to vote Labour than voters in Southern England.  Ethnic minority voters are more likely to vote Labour than white voters.  Catholic voters were more likely to vote Labour than Protestant voters.  In each of these three cases this could be explained partly [but not entirely] by the indirect effects of social class in that the Scots, the Welsh, ethnic minority members and Catholics are also disproportionately likely to be working class [ which takes us back to the Pulzer quotation]  Click here and scroll down for further data and explanations re age, gender, region, religion, ethnicity and voting behaviour.  Note that many Muslim voters withdrew their support from Labour in the 2005 General Election as a result of the invasion of Iraq.
