Political Messaging, Parliament, and People Or, Why Politicians Say the Things They Do the Way They Do: The Parliamentary Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand in 2013 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Anthropology At Massey University Palmerston North Aotearoa New Zealand Jessica Anne Copplestone Bignell 2018 Abstract One of the main things a Member of Parliament (MP) does in their everyday work is talk. They are constantly saying things to try to win over the public’s support and make the world they envision real. This thesis is about politicians’ statements: why they say the things they say the way they do. Based on behind-the-scenes ethnographic fieldwork in the parliamentary offices of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand, I explore the difficult strategic work that shapes what opposition MPs say. In order to win over the public support they need to increase their vote, MPs have to communicate effectively in adherence to the rules and codes of political messaging, be good oppositional MPs, and speak and act in ways that fit authentically with their dispositions. I show that, unlike the simple soundbites we see in public from our politicians, the production of statements designed to win support is messy, indeterminate, uncertain, filled with tension and – above all – intensely complex.

  • There's Too Much at Stake for Nzers to Stop Fighting for Marriage
    There’s too much at stake for NZers to stop fighting for Marriage. When politicians voted to redefine an age-old institution, it wasn’t just marriage they put at risk. They undermined New Zealand, a society built on the cornerstone of marriage and family stability. By ignoring the voice of the people (again), they also undermined democracy, another cornerstone for our country. But it’s not over. Those of us who believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman can still turn things around come election time. We need to remember how the politicians voted: 44 MPs who stood against 77 MPs responsible for redefining marriage redefining marriage NATIONAL: Amy Adams, Chris Auchinvole, Maggie Barry, David Bennett (changed from 2nd reading), Paula Bennett, Jackie Blue, Cam Calder, David Carter, Judith Say THANK YOU to the politicians who voted Collins, Jacqui Dean, Craig Foss, Aaron Gilmore (new MP), Paul Goldsmith, Jo to protect marriage.

  • Ford, Geoffrey Final Phd Thesis.Pdf (9.378Mb)
    Rethinking lay people’s theories of the economy Geoffrey Ford A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand 2018 2 Abstract Renewed scholarly interest in lay people’s economics (Leiser & Kril, 2017; Darriet & Bourgeois- Gironde, 2015; Sapienza & Zingales, 2013a; Dixon, Griffiths, & Lim, 2014), a tradition of research typically associated with economists and economic psychologists (Furnham, 1988; Williamson & Wearing, 1996; Blendon et al., 1997; Caplan, 2001; Leiser & Aroch, 2009), can be situated alongside recent public debate about economics, economists’ expertise and the role of economists and lay people in democratic decision-making (for example, see: Earle, Moran, & Ward-Perkins, 2017). This thesis contributes to our understanding of lay people’s theories of the economy by interrogating, challenging and addressing key assumptions underpinning this tradition of research. I approached this research from a cross-disciplinary perspective. The thesis is situated at the intersection of critical political psychology (Tileagă, 2013) and corpus linguistics (Partington, 2013). I examine two key assumptions that are common in the economic and psychological literature on lay people’s economic thinking. These assumptions are often uncritically reproduced in studies of lay people’s thinking about the economy. The first of these is an assumption from a disciplinary perspective, which I term from the Academy, that privileges the expert economist as the correct reference for understanding and studying lay people’s thinking (for example, see: Caplan, 2006). The second assumption treats lay theories as something to be conceived and researched as primarily individual-level cognitive phenomena, which I term in the head (for example, see: Williamson & Wearing, 1996).
