本文发展和测试了一套理论机制，候选人种族可能会影响政党的投票选择的白色英国和少数民族选民在2010年英国大选。少数族裔候选人平均遭受了约4%的白人三党选票的选举惩罚，主要是因为那些有反移民情绪的人不太愿意投票给穆斯林。少数族裔选民对候选人族裔的反应因族裔群体而异。对于非穆斯林印度人和黑人选民没有显著影响，而巴基斯坦候选人则从巴基斯坦选民的平均选举奖金中获益8个百分点。
This article develops and tests a set of theoretical mechanisms by which candidate ethnicity may have affected the party vote choice of both white British and ethnic minority voters in the 2010 British general election. Ethnic minority candidates suffered an average electoral penalty of about 4 per cent of the three-party vote from whites, mostly because those with anti-immigrant feelings were less willing to vote for Muslims. Ethnic minority voter responses to candidate ethnicity differed by ethnic group. There were no significant effects for non-Muslim Indian and black voters, while Pakistani candidates benefited from an 8-point average electoral bonus from Pakistani voters.
