About this table

Description	British YouGov respondents (December 2012; n=1,899) each made 5 forced choices between two hypothetical MPs varying in party, tenure, days spent on constituency work, how often the MP speaks out or votes against the party leadership, and sex (pronoun).

Notes

Conjoint table (irw_conjoint). choice = "Based on this information, which ONE of these two MPs would you prefer to have as your MP in the House of Commons?" (MP 1 / MP 2; a response was required, no opt-out). Attributes completely independently randomized with equal probabilities (article). Level text is the bold part of each bullet (e.g. dissent 'never'..'often' within '<He/She> ... speaks out or votes against his/her party leadership'); profile position is inferred from row order. N = 1,899 as in the article.

These notes describe the source data, which the IRW reproduces as released. All notes are listed on the Data Notes page.
