Abstract
If we are to use political stratification as the major explanatory concept in ensuing analyses of the Glasgow data, some theoretical rationale must be advanced to show why its effect on attitudes and behaviour should be anticipated, why it is important, and how it emerges. Systematic discussion of these points leads directly to an exposition of the assumptions we derive from previous research and of the predictions we deduce from them: thus to a full presentation of the a priori predictive model formulated before any of our analyses were undertaken.
