Abstract

While it is well-established that disability reduces the probability of electoral turnout, far less is known about the relationship between disability and support for particular political parties. Using nationally representative longitudinal data from Understanding Society we explore the relationship between disability and party support in England and Wales along left-right and protest dimensions. Consistent with our hypotheses, analysis of cross-sectional data suggests that, after accounting for demographic characteristics, disabled people are significantly less likely to support parties to the right and more likely to support protest parties. In contrast, however, after accounting for time invariant individual unobserved heterogeneity using panel data methods, we find no evidence of a relationship between disability and left-right party support, and far less evidence of a relationship with protest parties. We discuss and attempt to reconcile these findings.
残疾是否会影响对政党的支持?
残疾会降低选举投票率,这一点已得到公认,但人们对残疾与特定政党支持率之间的关系却知之甚少。我们利用 "了解社会"(Understanding Society)中具有全国代表性的纵向数据,从左右和抗议两个维度探讨了残疾与英格兰和威尔士政党支持率之间的关系。与我们的假设一致,对横截面数据的分析表明,在考虑人口统计特征后,残疾人支持右翼政党的可能性明显较低,而支持抗议政党的可能性较高。然而,与此相反的是,在使用面板数据方法对时间不变的个体非观测异质性进行考虑后,我们发现没有证据表明残疾与左右政党支持率之间存在关系,而与抗议政党之间存在关系的证据则少得多。我们讨论并试图调和这些发现。

期刊介绍: Electoral Studies is an international journal covering all aspects of voting, the central act in the democratic process. Political scientists, economists, sociologists, game theorists, geographers, contemporary historians and lawyers have common, and overlapping, interests in what causes voters to act as they do, and the consequences. Electoral Studies provides a forum for these diverse approaches. It publishes fully refereed papers, both theoretical and empirical, on such topics as relationships between votes and seats, and between election outcomes and politicians reactions; historical, sociological, or geographical correlates of voting behaviour; rational choice analysis of political acts, and critiques of such analyses.
