People decide about political parties by taking into account the
preferences, values, expectations, and perceptions of their family,
friends, colleagues, and neighbours. As most people live with
others, members of their households influence each other's
political decisions. How and what they think about politics and
what they do are the outcomes of social processes. Applying varied
statistical models to data from extensive German and British
household surveys, this book shows that wives and husbands
influence each other; young adults influence their parents,
especially their mothers. Wives and mothers sit at the centre of
households: their partisanship influences the partisanship of
everyone else, and the others affect them. Politics in households
interacts with competition among the political parties to sustain
bounded partisanship. People ignore one of the major parties and
vary their preference of its major rival over time. Election
campaigns reinforce these choices.
