The notion of party identification has been one of the most prominent concepts in political science, in particular in the field of mass political behaviour. Recently, the measurement of this concept was strongly improved via publications based on survey data with multi-item indices includes in the LISS Panel (2012) and surveys in Sweden (2013) and Britain (2015). The proposed set of survey items will take the conceptual development of citizens’ party identification and its measurement another great step forward. It will do so by focusing on the attachment citizens may have with multiple political parties and by analysing the short-term and long-term stability of partisan identities. To this end, it proposes the inclusion of a validated abbreviated version the previous items in three waves of the LISS Panel.
