当选民选择他们的领导人时，什么对他们最重要？这本书表明，绩效政治是当代民主的核心，选民会对竞争政党和领导人在重要问题上的表现做出判断。鉴于涉及的高风险和不确定性，选民严重依赖党派线索和政党领导人形象作为选举选择的指导。然而，作者认为，近年来英国政治的议题议程发生了显著变化。对犯罪、移民和恐怖主义的一系列担忧现在与长期存在的经济和公共服务问题混在一起。由于选民和政党在这些问题上的立场往往相同，政治竞争的重点是谁能把工作做得最好。这本书表明，一个强调灵活的党派依恋、政党领袖形象和对政党在关键问题上能力的判断的模型可以解释英国和其他地方的选举选择。
What matters most to voters when they choose their leaders? This book suggests that performance politics is at the heart of contemporary democracy, with voters forming judgments about how well competing parties and leaders perform on important issues. Given the high stakes and uncertainty involved, voters rely heavily on partisan cues and party leader images as guides to electoral choice. However, the authors argue that the issue agenda of British politics has changed markedly in recent years. A cluster of concerns about crime, immigration and terrorism now mix with perennial economic and public service issues. Since voters and parties often share the same positions on these issues, political competition focuses on who can do the best job. This book shows that a model emphasizing flexible partisan attachments, party leader images and judgments of party competence on key issues can explain electoral choice in Britain and elsewhere.
