?:abstract
  • Since the past two decades, vote switching has been on the rise. An under-researched dimension of this phenomenon is the impact of ambivalent political attitudes. Whilst the effects of ambivalence on vote switching have been investigated in the American political system, its application to multi-party systems has not been explored. This chapter contributes to research in respect of context and mechanism. Regarding the former, it extends the investigation of ambivalence to the multi-party systems Germany, Great Britain and Austria. Regarding the latter, it does not solely focus on the direct link between ambivalence and switching, but as well on the underlying mechanism through which ambivalence is expected to lead to vote switching. For this research purpose, the chapter uses data from the German Longitudinal Election Study, the British Election Study and the Austrian National Election Study. The results provide empirical support for the hypotheses and show that respondents with a higher ambivalence are more likely to engage in vote switching at the election. The results also demonstrate support for the theorized underlying causal mechanism leading from ambivalence to vote switching. Overall, political ambivalence shows strong effects on vote switching in the multi-party systems Germany, Great Britain and Austria. Therefore, this chapter highlights once more the importance of ambivalence on understanding the underlying determinants of electoral volatility in 21st century politics. (xsd:string)
