The 2004 Australian Election Study Survey: The Decline of Political Parties?

长期以来，澳大利亚以其政党制度的稳定而闻名，但现在，澳大利亚终于面临着对主要政党统治地位的持续挑战，这反映在选民越来越倾向于小政党和独立候选人。本项目将通过对可能于2004年举行的下一次联邦选举的选民进行一次公共使用的全国抽样调查，来研究这些发展的影响。该项目产生的成果将加强学术界和社区对澳大利亚选民中不断变化的党派气候本质的理解。

Long renowned for the stability of its political party system, Australia is finally experiencing a sustained challenge to the dominance of the major parties, which is reflected in an increasing preference by voters for minor parties and independent candidates. This project will examine the implications of these developments by conducting a public-use, national sample survey of voters at the next federal election, likely to be held in 2004. The outcomes generated by the project will enhance academic and community understanding of the nature of the changing partisan climate within the Australian electorate.
