内容説明

This textbook explores voting behaviour in Irish general elections and referendums since independence in 1922. By interpreting the latest survey, opinion poll and statistical data for the non-psephologist, Richard Sinnott explores how and why Irish voters' preferences have changed, and asks whether the 1992 general election has heralded a fundamental realignment in the Irish political system. The author analyzes the changing demographic and socio-economic context of Irish electoral behaviour and draws historical portraits of the parties who have sought the voters' support. He then examines electoral outcomes and trends from 1922 to 1992, as well as the analytical approaches provided by aggregate data analysis, surveys and opinion polls. He explores how the Irish system of proportional representation works and how voting patterns during referendum on abortion, divorce and EC membership have compared with election results. Finally, he offers a comparative perspective on current trends in voting behaviour, viewing Ireland in its European context.
