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.
