“…Respondents' sense of party identification is clearly linked to their policy preferences. In line with the respective parties' ideologies (Leach, ), Conservative identification is significant and positively associated with policy preferences, and thus a more right‐wing position, whereas Labour and, to a lesser extent, Liberal Democrat identifications are significant and negatively associated with policy preferences, and thus a more left‐wing position. Among the political engagement variables, only education proves to be significant, the negative sign indicating that those who stayed in school for longer were more likely to be slightly to the left.…”

This article explores British citizens' evaluations of political processes against the backdrop of wider political disengagement. It adapts Hibbing and Theiss-Morse's framework for measuring attitudes in both 'process space' and 'policy space' and, drawing on data from a survey fielded in March 2011, analyses the factors that shape Britons' preferences concerning political decision making. It also analyses the relative importance of policy and process evaluations as predictors of government approval and support for two key civic norms, that people should comply with the law and that they have a duty to vote. It finds that most respondents think that decision making should involve both elected politicians and ordinary people, but respondents who are more critical of politicians' conduct tend to express support for greater levels of popular involvement. It also finds that the significance of process evaluations is overshadowed by other attitudes, especially respondents' perceptions of politicians' integrity and responsiveness.

“…If this happens, humanity will face unprecedented legal challenges. Modern legal systems that exist on the basis of anthropocentrism inherent to humanity since the Renaissance era do not let it today to solve arising problems with the development of technology [7,8]. As R. Ibragimov and E. Suragina correctly note, all the principles concerning regulation of program creation processes (including robots) are somehow subordinated to two global goals: "1) to ensure the protection of man, his rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as the protection of society, the state and humanity;…”

Abstract: In the modern digital age, the issues of using artificial intelligence and the field of development of intelligent technologies are extremely important and relevant. Over the past few years, there have been attempts of state regulation of artificial intelligence, both in Russia and in other countries of the world. Artificial intelligence poses new challenges to various areas of law: from patent to criminal law, from privacy to antitrust law. Among the current approaches, the most optimal is the creation of a separate legal regulation mechanism that creates a clear distinction between areas of responsibility of developers and users of systems with artificial intelligence and the technology itself. Today, the development of the legal framework for the existence of artificial intelligence can be conditionally divided into two approaches: the creation of a legal framework for the introduction of applied systems with artificial intelligence and stimulate their development; regulation of the sphere of creating artificial "super intelligence", in particular, compliance of the developed technologies with generally recognized standards in the field of ethics and law.A separate area should be the introduction of uniform ethical principles for all developers and users of systems with artificial intelligence. The most optimal in this aspect is the approach implemented within the framework of the Asilomar principles. In these circumstances, the appeal to the problem of legal regulation of artificial intelligence is becoming more relevant than ever. This paper presents the results of a detailed analysis of existing approaches to the legal regulation of artificial intelligence.

“…These suggest that different parties are advantaged on different issues and can attract voters by emphasising those issues and/or avoiding those issues on which their opponents are advantaged. National defence and security are goals that are central to Conservative ideology (Leach, 2009) and the party has traditionally had an advantage on issues such as immigration and crime. They continued to hold this advantage in 2010 (see Table 2).…”

“…One might expect Cameron to try to emphasise those issues in the debates. Equality and full employment are key components of socialist ideology (Leach, 2009), and Labour traditionally has had an advantage on the issue of public services and jobs. Labour's once healthy lead over the Conservatives on jobs had seemingly evaporated by April 2010, yet these figures probably understated Labour's advantage as voters transferred their lower ratings of the party across other issues to this specific issue (Green and Jennings, 2012).…”

Rules, Strategies and Words: The Content of the 2010 Prime Ministerial Debates

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article investigates the verbal content of the 2010 prime ministerial debates using computer-aided text analysis (CATA) and functional analysis. It seeks to provide reliable measures of what the leaders said, develop our theoretical understanding of televised debates in British elections, open up the 2010 debates for potential comparison with others, and provide additional evidence by which the democratic value of the debates might be assessed. The article demonstrates that the leaders focused more on policy than on personality, that most content was devoted to positive reasons for supporting parties rather than negative attacks on opponents, and that there was variation in the attention paid to general themes and specific issues and in the nature of the leaders' appeals to voters.The findings offer qualified support for issue ownership and functional theories, but knowledge of the specific political context remains necessary for understanding the content.
