  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s}". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed cither blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame* If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Forecast Error: How to Predict an Election: Part 1: Polls
    FORECAST ERROR: HOW TO PREDICT AN ELECTION: PART 1: POLLS "Any attempt to predict the future depends on it resembling the past"[0423l] Cartoon from the Daily Mirror, May 27 1970, as reproduced in “The British General Election of 1970”, Butler and Pinto‐Duschinsky. 1971; ISBN: 978‐1‐349‐01095‐0 1. INTRODUCTION The "Forecast Error" series of articles started examining election predictors in 2015. Each article considered many predictors, but each article covered just one election. This article marks a new chapter in the "Forecast Error" series where we examine an individual class of predictor more closely across many elections. We begin with possibly the most prominent: opinion polls. A political opinion poll is a method of assessing a population’s opinion on the matters of the day by asking a sample of people. A subset is the voter intention poll, which asks each sampled person how they intend to vote in an election. Pollsters then turn their intention into votes by applying certain assumptions. Those assumptions may not be valid over the long term, or even from one election to the next. The problem faced when writing about opinion polls is not how to start writing, it's how to stop. It is entirely possible to write a full article about any given facet of opinion polling, and examples immediately spring to mind: whether one should still use "margin of error" for online panel polling, Nate Silver's insight regarding the borrowing of strength from polls in similar states, is it meaningful to speak of a polling threshold, and so on.

  • Chapter 2 Elections and Political Communication Donnacha Ó
    Chapter 2 Elections and political communication Donnacha Ó Beacháin Election campaigns are sporadic events during which the apathy that the non- participatory political system engenders has to be momentarily surmounted to inject renewed legitimacy into the system of organised political parties. How the citizenry are to be motivated to mobilise from their habitual passivity depends on the quality and quantity of political communication with the electorate. In short it is influenced, if not determined, by the character of the election campaign. This chapter provides a brief introduction to how those competing for votes have communicated with the Irish electorate since the foundation of the state. Campaign slogans, techniques and candidates As the revolutionary generation that had monopolised political power for the first four decades of independence exited the political stage during the 1960s, prospective candidates for election had to find new ways of getting on the ticket. For those not part of a political dynasty forged during the formative years of the state, sport proved another way of coming to the attention of the electorate, and the party leaderships. The 1965 general election returned 17 former Gaelic games stars (Whyte, 1966, 31) but a focus on GAA luminaries provides only a partial picture of the influence of the organisation. Brian Farrell (1971, 321–22) has noted that the 1969 election returned in addition to 15 GAA ‘stars’ four GAA county officials and another 25 deputies who had been or continued to be active within the GAA as players or officials. The most significant figure of this new generation was Jack Lynch, who governed Ireland for 43 most of the period spanning the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, and whose complete lack of a political pedigree was compensated for by having won six All-Ireland hurling and football medals.
