Abstract

ABSTRACT Voter polarisation, or the widening of differences between supporters of different political parties, is of growing concern in many nations. However, little is known about whether polarisation is on the rise in New Zealand. We address this lacuna by investigating temporal trends in voter polarisation in New Zealand (namely, those voting for the National party, Labour party, the Green party, and New Zealand First) from 2009–2018. Using a large national probability sample (the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study; Ns = 2,820–39,287), we assessed polarisation across three domains: demographic characteristics, social and policy attitudes, and feelings towards each political party (affective polarisation). Evidence of polarisation was generally limited, with the most notable trends occurring in the public’s perceptions of societal fairness and attitudes towards inequality. These analyses provide insight into the magnitude and type of polarisation occurring across voters in a multi-party context.

国家状况:2009-2018年新西兰选民两极分化的趋势
摘要选民两极分化,或不同政党支持者之间的分歧扩大,在许多国家越来越令人担忧。然而,人们对新西兰的两极分化是否正在加剧知之甚少。我们通过调查2009-2018年新西兰选民两极分化的时间趋势(即投票给国家党、工党、绿党和新西兰第一党的选民)来解决这一空白。使用一个大的国家概率样本(新西兰态度和价值观研究;N=2820–39287),我们评估了三个领域的两极分化:人口特征、社会和政策态度以及对每个政党的感受(情感两极分化)。两极分化的证据普遍有限,最显著的趋势发生在公众对社会公平的看法和对不平等的态度上。这些分析深入了解了在多党背景下选民之间发生的两极分化的程度和类型。
