Ethnic minority voters in 2019: Brexitland, or business as usual?

英国近十分之一的选民来自少数民族背景。然而，现有的政治变革账户对少数民族的政治选择关注不够，到目前为止，学术界和政治界对英国脱欧对随后投票选择的影响的理解是不完整和不完整的。其主要原因是，对少数民族进行有代表性的定量研究超出了ESRC通常的标准赠款资助限额。我们建议进行90个半结构化的采访，少数民族的受访者了解社会，探讨欧盟公投的不同影响，以及随后的国家政治变化对少数民族的政治选择。然后，我们将对这些来自采访的“厚”数据进行三角测量，并从理解协会获得关于少数民族在英国退欧公投中的投票选择以及2017年和2019年选举的代表性“薄”定量数据。我们将与ESRC投资项目“理解社会”合作进行相关研究。使用嵌入在家庭面板研究中的受访者是理想的-面板包含了大量关于受访者2010年政治选择的信息，使我们能够根据他们的政治观点有目的地对潜在受访者进行抽样（例如，获得相同数量的留欧和脱欧支持者），并且还可以用有关他们家庭和个人历史的其他信息来补充定性数据。根据了解社会的要求，我们将存款从采访的transmittance进行二次分析。

Almost one in ten voters in Britain comes from an ethnic minority background. However, existing accounts of political change pay insufficient attention to the political choices of ethnic minorities, and both academic and political understanding of the effects of Brexit on subsequent vote choice is so far patchy and incomplete. The principal reason for this is that conducting a representative quantitative study of ethnic minorities exceeds the usual ESRC standard grant funding limits. We propose to conduct 90 semi-structured interviews with ethnic minority respondents of Understanding Society to explore the varying effects of the EU referendum, and subsequent national political changes on the political choices of ethnic minorities. We will then triangulate this 'thick' data from interviews, with representative 'thin' quantitative data from the Understanding Society on the vote choices of ethnic minorities in the Brexit referendum, and elections in 2017 and 2019. We will collaborate with the ESRC investment project Understanding Society as an Associated Study. Using respondents embedded in the household panel study is ideal - the panel contains a great deal of information on respondents' political choices back to 2010, allowing us to purposively sample potential interviewees according to their politics (e.g. to achieve equal numbers of Remain and Leave supporters), and also to supplement the qualitative data with other information about their household and personal history. In accordance with Understanding Society requirements we will deposit the transcriptions from interviews for secondary analysis.
