Over the past thirty years a wealth of statistical information about British voters and British elections has been collected by the British Election Studies research teams. The British Electorate, 1963-1992 makes these data available in a standard, easy-to-read format accessible to the non-technical user. Tables display the same data for each election, allowing the reader to compare any two elections between 1964 and 1992, or to trace trends across the whole period. The information presented covers a wide range of topics in voting and public opinion, including the vote, turnout, party membership, partisanship, and attitudes on issues such as abortion, capital punishment and nationalisation. Data on sub-groups of the electorate (men and women, young and old, trade unionists, the unemployed, Conservative and Labour voters etc) are also presented. This book will be an important reference for political and sociological researchers, both within academia and outside.

Updated to include the 1992 election, The British Electorate is an essential reference for social and political researchers on voting patterns and public opinion in Britain over the last quarter century.
Reviews
"Not only an essential reference for basic information on political behavior over the past thirty years, it is also an accessible guide to the holdings available for secondary analysis in the archives at Essex or Michigan." Joergen Rasmussen, British Politics Group Newsletter
