The stability of such support among Anglicans is disproportionately high meaning that this religious identification acts as a buffer against increasing partisan volatility among the Tory supporters indicating the relevance of religion for British electoral politics. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
