Welsh Election Survey 2019

拟议的研究旨在扩展2016年威尔士选举研究（WES），并在这样做的过程中，提供了有史以来第一次在威尔士的研究，其中大量的个人层面的数据投票行为和政治态度的选举，以不同级别的政府。这将增加重要的信息，这将有助于实现WES的主要研究目标之一：理解为什么不同的选举领域之间的投票选择会有所不同。WES的这一扩展也将提供唯一的机会，以获得详细了解威尔士政治的潜在重新调整，2019年选举可能交付。英国选举研究（BES）不能被期望详细探索威尔士政治的这种潜在的历史性重新调整;他们有更广泛的职权范围来探索整个英国的选举，他们必须在很短的时间内完成。它不会包括足够的威尔士特定问题来探索威尔士政治发生的历史性转变。该研究将包括对威尔士投票年龄成年人的在线调查（样本约为2000人;实地工作将由YouGov进行）。有了这些数据，该项目的目标是：1。为了能够详细和集中地描述威尔士的投票行为-这是2019年大选的关键战场之一; 2。了解威尔士选民如何与英国一级的政治互动后，二十年的权力下放;3。为了增加在威尔士收集的问题的实质性时间序列作为威尔士选举研究的一部分。

The proposed research seeks to extend the 2016 Welsh Election Study (WES) and, in so doing, provide the first-ever study in Wales where substantial individual-level data on voting behaviour and political attitudes for elections to different levels of government is available. This would add crucial information that would help substantially in fulfilling one of the major research goals of WES: understanding why vote choices can differ between different electoral arenas. This extension of WES would also offer the only opportunity to gain detailed insight into the potential realignment in Welsh politics that the 2019 election could deliver.The British Election Study (BES) cannot be expected to explore in detail this potential historic re-alignment in Welsh politics; they have a wider remit to explore the election across Britain, which they are having to fulfil at very short notice. It will not include sufficient Welsh-specific questions to explore the historic shifts occurring in Welsh politics.The research would comprise an online survey of voting age adults in Wales (with a sample of approximately 2000; fieldwork to be conducted by YouGov). With these data the project aims:1. To make possible a detailed and focused account of voting behaviour in Wales - one of the key battlegrounds in the 2019 General Election; 2. To understand how Welsh voters interact with UK-level politics after two decades of devolution;3. To add to the substantial time-series of questions collected in Wales as part of the Welsh Election Study.
