?:abstract
  • In contrast to national elections, both political elites and voters are assumed to think that ‘less is at stake’ in European elections: Campaigns are less intense, turnout is significantly lower, and citizens are more inclined to ‘vote with their hearts’. If the latter is true this should be reflected in differing rationales of voting – party choice should not be based on identical determinants in national and European elections. However, this hypothesis has not been sufficiently analysed and – even more important – most of the research is based on the analysis of aggregated data while causal explanations are located on the microlevel. This paper compares vote functions of individuals who have participated in the 2009 European Parliament Election as well as the 2009 election of the German Bundestag. Using data from the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES), explanatory models of voting behaviour are estimated for both elections. Model comparisons show that individual party choice on both levels is neither fundamentally different nor does it fit into the proposed pattern of secondorder electoral behaviour. (xsd:string)
