SIMILARITY STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN ELECTIONS

The problem is to compare the political party preferences of the ten European countries of the E.E.C. as expressed in three election periods. Two of the points of time are the European elections of 1979 and 1984. The third period is intermediate to these for each country, most of the interim elections being held between 1981 and 1983. (The data are given by Janssen et al.).
