Walter J. Stone, 'Electoral Change and Policy Representation in Congress: Domestic Welfare Issues from 1956-1972', British Journal of Political Science, 12: 1, January 1982, pp. 95 115. This article is concerned with identifying the effects of electoral change on the locus of policy representation in Congress and with determining the extent to which these changes promoted constituency influence over representatives' behaviour. Evidence is presented of a marked shift in the system of representation from a district to a national party locus from about 1964; the analysis is restricted to issues that broadly relate to the fields of domestic economic and social welfare. Donley T. Studlar and Susan Welch, 'Mass Attitudes on Political Issues in Britain', Comparative Political Studies, 14: 3, October 1981, pp. 327-355. This article' examines the dimensionality of attitudes amongst the British public using the October 1974 British Election Study data. Five dimensions emerge socio-economic class issues, ethnocentrism, environmental issues, morality, and law and order.
