Voting Patterns, Party Spending and Relative Location in England and Wales
No full textCutts D. and Webber D. J. Voting patterns, party spending and relative location in England and Wales, Regional Studies. There is growing evidence that context can influence how people make voting decisions, and some of the contexts are spatially defined. Votes are cast in constituencies, but electors in one constituency may be influenced by 'events' in neighbouring constituencies, such as the intensity of party campaigning. By examining the determinants of voting patterns across constituencies in England and Wales using spatial econometric methods, this article suggests that while socio-economic factors and local campaigning are key determinants of party vote shares in constituencies, there is strong spatial autocorrelation in voting patterns. Not only does local campaigning have a positive effect on party performance in constituency j, but also empirical evidence is found of spillover effects following intensive party activity. The more a party spends on campaigning in constituencies adjacent to constituency j, the more votes it gets in constituency j. Each major political party is influenced by space to different extents with the Liberal Democrats visibly exploiting spatial autocorrelation to increase their vote shares. [image omitted] Cutts D. et Webber D. J. La distribution des votes, les depenses des partis politiques et la localisation relative en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, Regional Studies. Tout laisse a indiquer que le contexte peut influer sur les intentions de vote, et quelques-uns des contextes se definissent geographiquemment. On vote dans des circonscriptions electorales, mais il se peut que les intentions de vote des voteurs d'une conscription electorale donnee soient influencees par les 'circonstances' qui ont lieu dans des circonscriptions electorales voisines, telles l'importance des campagnes electorales. En examinant les determinants de la distribution des votes a travers les circonscriptions electorales en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles en employant des modeles econometriques geographiques, cet article laisse supposer que l'autocorrelation de la distribution des votes s'avere forte, tandis que les facteurs socio-economiques et les campagnes locales sont des determinants cle de la distribution des votes dans les circonscriptions electorales. Les campagnes sont non seulement etroitement liees a la performance d'un parti dans la circonscription electorale j, mais il s'avere aussi des retombees suite a une campagne electorale intensive. Plus un parti politique depense pour les campagnes dans les circonscriptions electorales voisines de la circonscription electorale j, plus les votes obtenus en circonscription electorale j sont eleves. Chaque parti politique majeur est influence differemment par l'espace, dont les Liberal Democrats qui exploitent ouvertement l'autocorrelation geographique afin d'augmenter leur proportion des votes.

Wahlverhalten, Ausgaben der Parteien und relative Standorte in England und Wales, Regional Studies. Es gibt wachsende Anzeichen dafur, dass die Wahlentscheidungen der Burger vom Kontext beeinflusst werden konnen und dass einige dieser Kontexte raumlich definiert sind. Die Stimmen werden innerhalb von Wahlkreisen abgegeben, doch die Wahler in einem Wahlkreis konnen von 'Ereignissen' in angrenzenden Wahlkreisen beeinflusst werden, wie z.�B. der Intensitat des dortigen Wahlkampfs einzelner Parteien. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir mit Hilfe raumlich-okonometrischer Methoden die Determinanten des Wahlverhaltens verschiedener Wahlkreise in England und Wales und stellen die These auf, dass soziookonomische Faktoren und der lokale Wahlkampf zwar zentrale Determinanten fur die Stimmenanteile der Parteien in den einzelnen Wahlkreisen darstellen, doch dass hinsichtlich des Wahlverhaltens auch eine ausgepragte raumliche Autokorrelation vorhanden ist. Der lokale Wahlkampf wirkt sich nicht nur positiv auf die Ergebnisse der jeweiligen Partei im Wahlkreis j aus, sondern wir finden auch empirische Beweise fur Ubertragungseffekte nach einem intensiven Wahlkampf. Je mehr eine Partei in einem Nachbarwahlkreis des Wahlkreises j fur ihren Wahlkampf ausgibt, desto mehr Stimmen erhalt sie im Wahlkreis j. Jede grossere politische Partei wird in unterschiedlichem Ausmass vom Raum beeinflusst, wobei die Liberal Democrats die raumliche Autokorrelation sichtbar zur Erhohung ihres Stimmenanteils ausnutzen.

Modelos de votacion, gastos de partidos y ubicacion relativa en Inglaterra y Gales, Regional Studies. Hay cada vez mas indicios de que las decisiones electorales de los ciudadanos pueden estar influenciadas por el contexto y que algunos contextos estan definidos espacialmente. Los votos se emiten en distritos electorales pero los votantes de un distrito electoral podrian estar influenciados por 'acontecimientos' que ocurran en los distritos vecinos, como podria ser la intensidad de una campana politica. Al examinar los determinantes de los modelos de votacion en los diferentes distritos electorales en Inglaterra y Gales usando metodos econometricos espaciales, en este articulo sugerimos que si bien los factores socioeconomicos y las campanas locales son determinantes fundamentales de las resultados electorales de los partidos en los distritos, existe una fuerte autocorrelacion espacial en los modelos de votacion. Las campanas locales no solo tienen un efecto positivo en el desempeno del partido en un distrito electoral J sino que tambien observamos indicios empiricos de los efectos de desbordamiento tras una intensa actividad por parte de los partidos politicos. Cuanto mas gasta un partido en las campanas en los distritos electorales adyacentes al distrito J, mas votos obtiene en este distrito. Cada partido politico importante esta influenciado por el espacio de modo distinto, si bien los democratas liberales explotan visiblemente la autocorrelacion espacial para mejorar sus resultados electorales.

Strategic Eurosceptics and polite xenophobes: Support for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in the 2009 European Parliament elections
No full textWhile Euroscepticism is the most important driver of United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) support, other attitudinal drivers – namely dissatisfaction towards mainstream parties and xenophobia – are also important. Examining vote-switching between first- and second-order elections evidence is found of a distinction between two types of supporter: more affluent and middle-class ‘strategic defectors’ from the mainstream Conservative Party who support UKIP to register their Euroscepticism, and more economically marginal and politically disaffected ‘core loyalists’ who are attracted to UKIP by its anti-immigration rhetoric and populist anti-establishment strategy. UKIP also succeeds in attracting core support from groups such as women who have traditionally rejected extreme right parties such as the British National Party (BNP). This suggests that UKIP is well positioned to recruit a broader and more enduring base of support than the BNP

Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
Anti-immigrant, politically disaffected or still racist after all? Examining the attitudinal drivers of extreme right support in Britain in the 2009 European elections
No full textThe elections to the European Parliament (EP) held in June 2009 marked a breakthrough for the extreme right British National Party (BNP), while in other European states extreme right parties (ERPs) similarly made gains. However, the attitudinal drivers of support for the BNP and ERPs more generally remain under-researched. This article draws on unique data that allow unprecedented insight into the attitudinal profile of ERP voters in Britain – an often neglected case in the wider literature. A series of possible motivational drivers of extreme right support are separated out: racial prejudice, anti-immigrant sentiment, protest against political elites, Euroscepticism, homophobia and Islamophobia. It is found that BNP support in the 2009 EP elections was motivationally diverse, with racist hostility, xenophobia and protest voting all contributing significantly to BNP voting. The analysis suggests that the BNP, which has long been a party stigmatised by associations with racism and violent extremism, made a key breakthrough in 2009. While racist motivations remain the strongest driver of support for the party, it has also begun to win over a broader coalition of anti-immigrant and anti-elite voters
