Overeenkomst en tegenstelling in de verkiezingsplatformen : Een analyse van de verkiezingsprogramma's via de techniek van het programmogram

Abstract

This article aims to present a framework for comparative analysis of
electoral programs.
A content analysis of the programs of the last Belgian elections delivered a number of program items, classified in policy sectors : financial, cultural, social, economic, internal and foreign policy. For each item of each party was checked up if each other party agreed or disagreed with it, or didn't give an opinion upon it. These data were the basis to calculate the  consensus and dissension between the parties.
These data were also the basis to construct the programmogram, a graph representing the extent of the programs of the parties, their originality, the importance attached to each policy sector, and the consensus and dissension between the parties.
