Party mandates and the politics of attention

An article just published in Party Politics uses data from the UK Policy Agendas Project to test an attention-based model of party mandates and policy agendas. The analysis uses time series cross-sectional models to show how the policy content of the legislative program of British government responds to governing and opposition party platforms, the executive agenda, issue priorities of the public and mass media.
