本文探讨多党制下政党议题立场与民众对政党评价的关系。在这样做的时候，我们从事两个相互竞争的理论的大众精英联系：定向理论和传统的空间理论的选举。1989年在挪威收集的调查数据的替代模式进行评估。数据收集的独特之处在于提供了关于所有有可能在议会中获得代表权的政党的问题立场的广泛信息。结果表明，方向理论提供了一个更好的描述的关系。与方向性理论相一致，我们发现，当政党在一个问题上占据中间立场时，他们不会根据这个问题进行评估。选民们既不爱也不恨一个中间党派。因此，为了在问题的基础上建立支持，各方必须提出一些强有力的立场。
We investigate the relationship between party issue position and mass evaluation of political parties in multiparty systems. In so doing, we engage two competing theories of mass-elite linkage: the directional theory and the traditional spatial theory of elections. The alternate models are evaluated with survey data gathered in Norway in 1989. The data collection is unique in providing extensive information on the issue positions of all parties with potential for achieving representation in the parliament. Results suggest that the directional theory provides a better description of the relationship. Consistent with directional theory, we find that when parties occupy a centrist position on an issue they are not evaluated on the basis of that issue. Voters neither love nor hate a party in the middle. Thus, in order to build support on the basis of issues, parties must offer some strong stands.
