摘要

本文调查了竞选宣言对候选人在线交流的影响。我们的研究解决了选举候选人在党纪和个人问题优先顺序之间的冲突。在显著性框架的基础上，我们研究了宣言和在线交流之间的主题一致性。此外，我们还测试了2017年德国联邦大选期间强调的问题。为此，我们根据政党宣言创建了一个原创主题词典。应用该词典，我们对143969条推文进行了797个候选者的分类。我们的分析表明，宣言在很大程度上影响了选举候选人的在线交流。调查结果显示，随着时间的推移，左翼政党的选举候选人会关注核心问题。我们的研究结果不仅突出了党的领导的权威性，而且表明政治家们并没有充分挖掘在线交流的全部潜力。

Do electoral candidates reflect or select campaign issues? The influence of electoral manifestos on online communication

This article investigates the influence of electoral manifestos on the online communication of electoral candidates. Our study addresses electoral candidates’ conflict between party discipline and individual issue prioritisation. Building on the salience framework, we examine the thematic congruence between manifestos and online communication. Moreover, we test which issues are emphasised during the 2017 German federal election campaign. To this end, we created an original topic dictionary based on party manifestos. Applying the dictionary, we classify 143,969 tweets by 797 candidates. Our analyses demonstrate that manifestos shape the online communication of electoral candidates substantially. The findings show that electoral candidates of left–wing parties focus on core issues over time. Our results not only highlight the authority of party leadership, but also suggest that politicians do not tap the whole potential of online communication.

期刊介绍： Political parties are intrinsic to every democratic political system, and with the dramatic changes that regularly sweep the political landscape, the study of their function and form is one of the most dynamic areas within contemporary scholarship. Party Politics is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of this integral component within political science. This major international journal provides a forum for the analysis of political parties, including their historical development, structure, policy programmes, ideology, electoral and campaign strategies, and their role within the various national and international political systems of which they are a part.
