Abstract
The Research Group here publishes the first section of its report on the General Election, 1949. It was intended to print the reports from all groups together, but the interest which the present study will no doubt arouse, together with the fact that other sections of this report are not yet ready for publication, decided the group to issue this part without delay. The thanks of the Society are due to Mrs. Donald and her enthusiastic interviewers. Other parts of the report will be published in later issues of Political ‘Science’.
