在这篇文章中,我们使用来自2007年苏格兰选举研究的证据来解释苏格兰民族党在霍利鲁德选举中的微弱胜利。理论的重点是投票的效价模型,这是越来越重要的苏格兰后,在政党制度的不结盟和意识形态的融合,并作为苏格兰政府弯曲他们的行政肌肉。探索效价战场揭示了混合,但总体上对工党在政府中的表现负面评价,并建议苏格兰民族党在问题能力,领导和党的形象优势。在个人层面上对政党选择进行建模表明,关键的效价变量----绩效评估、经济能力和政党形象----具有强大而显著的影响,这与迄今为止的宗教、阶级和民族认同等突出因素不同。宪法偏好也很重要,但它们的影响表明了一种更深层次的联系:苏格兰民族党在寻求进一步权力下放但反对独立的选民中表现强劲,这在很大程度上是因为它是苏格兰利益的斗士。相比之下,工党反对“更多权力”的立场可能在这一点上玷污了自己的声誉。我们的结论是,苏格兰民族党通过说服足够多的选民相信,它有一个在现行宪法安排下治理苏格兰的积极议程,并且它可以实现这一议程,从而赢得了胜利。
In this article we use evidence from the Scottish Election Study 2007 to build an explanation for the narrow SNP victory in the Holyrood election. The theoretical focus is on valence models of voting, which are increasingly important in Scotland following dealignment and ideological convergence in the party system, and as Scottish governments flex their executive muscle. Exploring the valence battleground reveals mixed but overall negative evaluations of Labour's performance in government, and suggests advantages for the SNP on issue competence, leadership and party image. Modelling party choice at the individual level shows that key valence variables – performance evaluations, economic competence and party image – have strong and significant effects, unlike hitherto prominent factors like religion, class and national identity. Constitutional preferences are important too, but their effects suggest a further valence link: the SNP's strong showing among voters seeking further devolution but opposed to independence is due in large part to its credentials as a battler for Scottish interests. In contrast, Labour's stand against ‘more powers’ may have tarnished its own reputation on that score. We conclude that the SNP edged home by persuading enough voters that it had a positive agenda for governing Scotland within the current constitutional arrangements, and that it could deliver on that agenda.
