Description

Develop a rough and ready theory of party identification. Taking the case of the Bulgaria, and considering only those who identify with one of the several major parliamentary represented parties, brainstorm to come up with some hypotheses that help to explain why some people think of themselves as Socialists, while others think of themselves as Liberals, supporters of GERB, Nationalists or supporters of the Reform Block. The dependent variable in each hypothesis will be party identification (with the values being “Socialist”, "Liberal”, "Nationalist", etc.).What are some independent variables? Keep a few things in mind: Choose variables that could reasonably be measured (though a survey or some other means). Consider carefully issues of both conceptual and operational definition. For example, if you posit religion as an independent variable, do you mean that there will be partisan differences between people of different faiths, or do you mean that people who are more religious (you also need to consider what that means and how you might measure it) will differ from those who are less so. Specify the nature of the relationship. Do not merely say that party identification is related to age. Are older people more likely than younger people to be Liberal, or are they more likely to be Socialists for instance? Provide rationales for your hypotheses. (“Senior citizens are more likely than younger people to be Socialists because they are more worried about social equality” “Senior citizens are more likely than younger people to be Socialists because they are more worried about Social Security.”) Don't worry at this point about whether your hypothesis is valid.

There are many theories which explain how people choose to support political inclination and
not others. Bulgaria has a multi-party system both parliamentary and non-parliamentary. A single
political party in Bulgaria cannot form the government alone unless they come together to form a
coalition government basing on values and aspirations of first parties. Some candidates run as
independent without using any political party.
There are many assumptions concerning friendly side for socialists and liberalists in Bulgaria.
This paper will discuss a testable hypothesis illustrating how people identify themselves with
certain political affiliations in Bulgaria. The dependent variable is political party identification,
and the independent variable is the age of the electorates. The majority of voters are those in
youth age group. The hypothesis of this discussion is liberalized political affiliations.

The Age-Liberalism Hypothesis
Most of the young electorates in Bulgaria are more likely to be liberalism than the older people.
During electioneering period, you will see more young people attending rallies organized ...
