Segnalazione bibliografica. Autori: Geoffrey Evans, James Tilley British Journal of Political Science January 2012 42 : pp 137-161 Abstract Why has the association between class and party declined over time? Contrary to conventional wisdom that emphasizes the fracturing of social structures and blurring of class boundaries in post-industrial society, it is argued here that class divisions in party preferences are conditioned by the changing shape of the class structure and the effect of parties’ strategic ideological responses to this transformation on the choices facing voters. This thesis is tested using British survey data from 1959 to 2006. We demonstrate that increasing class heterogeneity...

A guardare l'attualità e i commenti politici degli ultimi mesi, chiunque avrebbe ricavato l'impressione che il vero vincitore delle elezioni del 4 marzo 2018 fosse stato Matteo Salvini, nuovo protagonista della politica italiana; e di conseguenza le tormentate vicende di questo agosto 2019, con la di fatto auto-estromissione di Salvini dal governo, e l'inizio di possibili nuovi scenari, sarebbero apparse incomprensibili. Ascolta qui l'intervento di Lorenzo De Sio su "Il voto del cambiamento" a Zapping Radio 1 il 5/9/2019 (da 35'20") Non così se si adotta il passo più lento...

*This post has been originally published on the LSE EUROPP Blog The electoral strength of left-wing parties has traditionally been linked to the size and nature of a country’s working class and the existence of strong organisations such as trade unions. But are these ‘class cleavage’ factors still important in today’s politics? Drawing on a new study, Vincenzo Emanuele finds that while the characteristics of the working class are still a significant predictor of votes for the left, the importance of the organisational dimension has largely disappeared over the last two decades.
