Crosses on the Ballot

More about the book

The book delves into the electoral impact of social divisions in Great Britain, highlighting how social structure shapes partisanship. Kenneth D. Wald argues that the shift from religion to social class as the primary influence on voting occurred post-World War I, challenging recent revisionist views that suggest this transition happened earlier. Through this analysis, Wald provides a nuanced understanding of voter behavior and the evolution of political affiliations in British society.
