Additional information

Whitaker’s substantial and distinctive contribution involves quantitative analysis of the attitudes and characteristics of UKIP supporters at the 2010 general and 2009 European elections. Whitaker employed quantitative skills to produce (1) correlations between party vote shares in 2010, (2) data on the characteristics and attitudes of UKIP and other voters, (3) analysis of vote switching between the 2009 and 2010 elections for respondents of both YouGov surveys. He conducted chi-squared tests for the representativeness of the sample of UKIP candidates. He took the lead in writing up the results of these analyses in the section ‘Support for UKIP’.
