- W36895788 abstract "This research investigates the voter-leader nexus by examining the extent to which publicopinion mirrors the political attitudes and pronouncements of political elites in Australia.While aggregative-pluralist scholars regard voters as holders of exogenous preferences andpolitical elites as aggregators of these preferences, neo-elitists regard public opinion asactively shaped and manufactured by competitive elites seeking election to political office.These perspectives, while both compelling, are mutually exclusive. Using the 2010 FederalElection campaign as a case study, the research employs a mixed methods approach tocompare the plausibility of the two perspectives. The empirical part involves: (a) comparisonof the structure of voters’ political attitudes with those of parliamentary candidates drawingupon the 1990 - 2010 Australian Election Studies and Australian Candidate Studies; and (b)qualitative analysis of the dynamics of leader-voter interaction through the use of innovative‘political logs’ kept by participants during the 2010 election campaign.The quantitative analysis confirms the neo-elitist proposition that Labor and Coalition elitespolarise more strongly on left-right issues than on authority issues, a finding that holds acrossthe 20-year sampled period. The qualitative analysis shows that while participants generallyhave high levels of political awareness, their political autonomy is low – as their informationis sourced from leaders and parties, and voter agendas increasingly correspond with those ofleaders toward the end of the campaign.This study finds that Australian democracy is far more elite-driven than is currentlyacknowledged. I conclude that contemporary democracy is characterised by an asymmetricaland elite-dominated social process of persuasion in strategic competition for control of thestate. My research contributes to political sociology, demonstrating that political logs offer avaluable supplement to surveys by allowing researchers to examine the dynamics of thevoter-leader nexus." @default.
