The model seeks to demonstrate that electoral reform and export growth and diversification during the 1830s and early 1840s, both independently and through their influence on the party affiliation of M.P.s, raised the political cost to M.P.s of maintaining a protectionist policy, thereby contributing to the policy shift from protectionism to Free Trade.<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>The effects of constituency economic interests and political representation on parliamentary voting behaviour; the intersection of political party affiliation and constituency interests on MPs' voting behaviour; 19th century trade policy; hegemonic stability theory vs. public choice theory.<br> <br> <br> Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.<br> <br> <br> IrelandUnited Kingdom IndividualsParliamentary divisionsNationalMembers of Parliament Members of Parliament Cross-sectional (one-time) study One-stage stratified or systematic random sample Transcription of existing materials <p>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>.</p><p>Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
