?:abstract
  • The Republic of Ireland provides an interesting case in which to explore party identification as, like the US, it has a party system not closely aligned to social structures as well an electoral system, the single transferable vote, which allows voting across party lines. This article uses data from the first Irish Elections Study to explore the strength of party identification in Ireland and assess its value as a basis of political stability. It finds that identification is low but that, where it exists, it is significantly different from vote and contributes to over-time vote stability as well as straight-ticket voting. Partisanship also seems generally positive rather than negative; and although artisans do not always like only their own party but there is little pattern to the rating of other parties held by each set of partisans. The roots of partisanship can clearly be seen in childhood socialisation, which itself has an independent effect on vote choice. Overall, it is concluded that party identification makes sense in an Irish context but that with identification so low, short-term factors have a big and increasing opportunity to decide elections (xsd:string)
