Why do people living in different areas vote in different ways? Why
does this change over time? How do people talk about politics with
friends and neighbours, and with what effect? Does the geography of
well-being influence the geography of party support? Do parties try
to talk to all voters at election time, or are they interested only
in the views of a small number of voters living in a small number
of seats? Is electoral participation in decline, and how does the
geography of the vote affect this? How can a party win a majority
of seats in Parliament without a majority of votes in the country?
Putting Voters in their Place explores these questions by placing
the analysis of electoral behaviour into its geographical context.
Using information from the latest elections, including the 2005
General Election, the book shows how both voters and parties are
affected by, and seek to influence, both national and local forces.
Trends are set in the context of the latest research and
scholarship on electoral behaviour. The book also reports on new
research findings.
