This article challenges the dominant class alignment model of twentieth-century UK electoral behaviour. It suggests that there has been greater diversity in political opinion at the grass-roots level of politics than the two-class model allows; and that this diversity resembled a class alignment only because of the limitations of the political system and the electoral strategies of the main parties. It argues that political values derive from local communities, where they are formed both by local workplace and neighbourhood experiences and by the political, social, economic, religious and recreational networks that underpin them. It therefore follows that the key to political behaviour is to be found in the particular pattern of each local political economy. |
