British National Sentiment

In: British journal of political science, Band 29, Heft 1, S. 155-175

Abstract

Analysis of data from the 1993-1997 waves of the British Election Panel Study shows that British nationalist sentiments cannot be reduced to the conventional Left-Right & libertarian-authoritarian value dimensions, & constitute a distinct normative dimension in their own right. They are related to attitudes toward Europe, nuclear defense, Scottish devolution, & Irish unification. Although by no means as important as the Left-Right dimension, they are at least as important in contemporary voting behavior as the libertarian-authoritarian dimension. 7 Tables, 2 Appendixes.
