Research Poster: Incumbency and Party Cues in British Elections 1832-2024

I am pleased to share my research poster, outlining my central findings in graphical form, namely that both party and incumbency cues are insignificant during the 19th century, and both gain prominence at the start of the 20th. This suggestion defies the established literature view of substitution.

Hi I'm Freddie, a student in PPE at Durham University with particular interests in British Political history and the development of its constitution. 

I am excited to express this in my research project, focusing on the impact of formalised political parties on voter partisanship and the incumbency effect. Whilst contributing to the development of an existing dataset containing parliamentary election data from 1832 onwards, I am aiming to perform data-driven alaysis to evaluate Britain's shift from a candidate-based political tradition towards the dominance of party labels.

Outside of my studies, I am a keen church bellringer, an avid reader, and enjoy exploring new places.
