摘要

在老牌民主国家,年龄日益成为影响公民投票方式的重要因素。本文通过评估针对年轻选民的政党呼吁是否对政党支持的年龄差距产生影响,为这一领域日益增长的研究做出了贡献。英国是政党支持率年龄差距最大的国家之一,我在英国进行了一项调查实验,其中包含了根据工党和保守党2019年选举宣言改编的群体呼吁。这些以年龄为基础的呼吁既具有象征意义,又具有实质性,涵盖了经济和文化问题。结果显示,针对年轻人的呼吁并没有导致老年选民的支持减少。即使是包含年轻人文化政策偏好的诉求也是如此。此外,虽然工党在青年支持方面有明显优势,但保守党能够通过符合这一群体偏好的提案来缩小这一差距,尤其是在高等教育资金问题上。

The impact of party appeals on age differences in voting
Age is an increasingly significant driver of how citizens vote across established democracies. This paper contributes to the growing research in this area by assessing whether party appeals directed at younger voters have an impact on the growing age gap in party support. I test this in the context of the UK, one of the countries with the largest age gap in party support, with a survey experiment containing group appeals adapted from the Labour and Conservative 2019 electoral manifestos. These age-based appeals are both symbolic and substantive in nature, and cover both economic and cultural issues. Results show that appeals directed at the youth do not trigger a decrease in support from older voters. This is the case even for appeals containing young citizens’ cultural policy preferences. Moreover, while the Labour party has a clear advantage on youth support, the Conservative party is able to close this gap with proposals in line with the preferences of this cohort – especially around the issue of higher education funding.

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.
