批判性的选举理论将选举地理的根本变化与重新调整联系起来。在英国,关于英国是否正在经历一段重新调整时期以及这在多大程度上可归因于英国退欧,一直存在很大争议。在本文中,我们评估了2016年欧盟公投在多大程度上有助于创造一个新的选举地理。2019年英国大选的特点是对主要政党支持的地理模式发生了深远的变化,工党失去了许多“红墙”席位,尤其是那些强烈支持英国退欧的保守党。与此同时,工党加强了其在倾向于留欧的大都市中心地带的地位。我们提供了一个详细的研究如何支持执政的保守党的地理变化随着时间的推移,在公投之前和之后,以及在何种程度上新的选举地图反映了英国退欧的地理。我们发现,政党联盟的地理模式在2016年公投后确实发生了突然变化,这种模式与逐渐演变的选举地理不一致。此外,这些变化似乎几乎完全是由英国退欧分歧双方选民的选举分类推动的。这表明,英国退欧的选举冲击是重塑英格兰选举地理的一个主要因素。
Critical elections theory has linked fundamental changes in electoral geography to realignment. In the UK there has been much debate over whether Britain is going through a period of realignment and the extent to which this can be attributed to Brexit. In this paper we assess how far the 2016 EU referendum has contributed to creating a new electoral geography. The 2019 UK General Election was characterised by far-reaching changes to geographical patterns of support for the major parties, with Labour losing many of its ‘red-wall’ seats to the Conservatives, especially those which voted strongly for Brexit. Meanwhile, Labour strengthened its position in the Remain-leaning metropolitan heartlands. We provide a detailed examination of how the geography of support for the ruling Conservative Party changed over-time, before and after the referendum, and the extent to which the new electoral map reflects the geography of Brexit. We find that geographical patterns of party alignment did change abruptly after the 2016 referendum, a pattern which is not consistent with the gradually evolving electoral geography. Moreover, the changes appear to be driven almost entirely by the electoral sorting of voters on either side of the Brexit divide. This suggests that the Brexit electoral shock was a major contributing factor to the reshaping of England's electoral geography.
