Abstract

Farmers' vote now tends to be locked into the definition of a homogeneous vote for the right. This article, using techniques of electoral sociology, seeks to demonstrate, by means of an 'ecological' analysis, the heterogeneity and plurality of 'agricultural' electoral behaviour in France on the basis of socio-demographic data and the results of the 2007 presidential elections. Two other types of variables are tested, agricultural guidelines and religious practices in the territories concerned. This work gives a mixed look at the issue of the agricultural vote and calls for additional work on local configurations. ; International audience Agricultural voting is defined as a homogenous and right-wing vote. Based on electoral sociology techniques, this article tries to demonstrate by an ecological analysis the heterogeneity and plurality of the "agricultural" voting behaviors.

Two more types of variables are tested, the technical-commercials orientations and the religious behaviors in the studied territories. This work promotes a contrasted posture regarding the agricultural voting question. Thus it underlines the necessity of additional studies on local configurations. ; Farmers' vote now tends to be locked into the definition of a homogeneous vote for the right.
