关于政党活动家的地方选举活动对选举行为的影响的研究几乎完全局限于美国，大多数研究结果表明存在显著影响。本说明讨论了为什么这种影响在英国也可能存在，甚至可能比在美国更强的原因。然后，它继续估计模型的投票率和投票份额的工党在1987年英国大选。结果表明，工党成员在当地的竞选活动对1987年选举中工党的选票份额有重大影响，但对投票率没有影响。一个模型的开发使用的数据，从一个全国性的调查工党成员，连同一些控制变量来测试的关系。这一发现与哈克菲尔特和斯普拉格在美国州长和参议院选举中的发现相似。
Research on the effects of local election campaigning by party activists on electoral behavior has been confined almost entirely to the United States, where most findings suggest that there are significant effects. This note discusses reasons why such effects are also likely to exist, and may even be stronger, in Britain than in the United States. It then goes on to estimate models of the turnout and vote share for the Labour party in the 1987 general election in Britain. The results show that local campaigning by Labour party members had a significant influence on the Labour vote share in the 1987 election, but not on turnout. A model is developed using data from a national survey of Labour party members, together with a number of control variables to test relationships. The findings are similar to those by Huckfeldt and Sprague for gubernatorial and Senate elections in the United States.
