Determinantes y características de los independientes en México
Keywords:
party identification, independents, strategic voting, multiple imputationAbstract
Party identification is the best predictor of vote choice. Independents (those who do notidentify with any party) represent in Mexico around a third of the electorate since morethan a decade ago. Using data from the Second National Survey of Political Culture andCitizen Customs (ENCUP), carried out in March 2003, I find that independents in Mexicohave more education than partisans, belong to a higher social class, are not as interestedin politics, do not vote, do not trust political institutions, and think that Mexico does notlive in full democracy. Independents are potentially decisive in a competitive electoralcontext, given their volatility and sensibility to political campaigns.
