Main Topics: Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions Interest in the election campaign, final perceptions of the political parties and impression of the three main party leaders (according to 7 fixed scales). Attitudes towards the presentation of information during the election campaign and towards the issues that may face the new government. Knowledge of Conservative promises made during the campaign, general political knowledge, active participation in the election campaign and party identification. Assessment of the respondent's sense of political efficacy, respondent's reference groups. Opinions on: the citizen's duty to vote, Powellite views on immigration, the raising of the school leaving age to 16, whether the parties faced up to the real issues facing the country in the election, whether the parties offered the electorate a choice and whether lowering the voting age to 18 had made politicians pay more attention to the view of young people. Exposure to the campaign in many sources was particularly noted: in television (party broadcasts, news, other current affairs programmes); in the press; on the radio; and through conversations with others (friends, family members, etc.). Respondent's evaluation of media coverage of the election was also sought. Background Variables In addition to the background data gathered for 70015, class identification, type of home tenure and whether respondent voted (party voted for). 19 June 1970 - 29 June 197019 June 197029 June 1970 England Yorkshire IndividualsSubnationalElectorsYoung people A panel of registered first-time electors, aged 18 - 24, resident in the 6 parliamentary constituencies of the City of Leeds Longitudinal/panel/cohort Young voters who had been successfully interviewed in previous round Face-to-face interview The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
