Whether or not voters consciously use their votes to send messages
about their preferences for public policy, the Washington community
sometimes comes to believe that it has heard such a message. In
this 2006 book the authors ask 'What then happens?' They focus on
these perceived mandates - where they come from and how they alter
the behaviors of members of Congress, the media, and voters. These
events are rare. Only three elections in post-war America (1964,
1980 and 1994) were declared mandates by the media consensus. These
declarations, however, had a profound if ephemeral impact on
members of Congress. They altered the fundamental gridlock that
prevents Congress from adopting major policy changes. The responses
by members of Congress to these three elections are responsible for
many of the defining policies of this era. Despite their
infrequency, then, mandates are important to the face of public
policy.
