?:abstract
  • The Irish general election of 2011—held in the midst of economic crisis—appeared, in many respects, exceptional. The most notable outcome was the collapse of Fianna Fáil, one of the world’s most enduring and successful parties. Fianna Fáil’s defeat was among the largest experienced by a major party in the history of parliamentary democracy. It went from being the largest party in the state to being a bit player in Irish political life. And yet, for all this talk of change and electoral volatility, ultimately there was much that remained the same, perhaps most distinctly of all the fact that no new parties emerged. It was, if anything, a ‘conservative revolution’. In order to arrive at a proper sense of the impact of the economic collapse on the party system and political life of a ‘bailout country’, this study examines underlying voter attitudes in the period 2002–11. Drawing on three national election studies, the book follows party system evolution and voter behaviour from boom to bust. These data permit an unprecedented insight into a party system and its voters at a time of great change, covering a period of rapid economic growth to economic meltdown in the midst of the international Great Recession, all in the space of a single decade. In the process, this study explores many of the well-established norms and conventional wisdoms of Irish electoral behaviour that make it such an interesting case study for comparison with other industrialized democracies.
