Abstract | Individualism and collectivism constructs has been discussed in a number of contexts in the social sciences (Triandis, 1998), including social systems, morality and cultural patterns (Triandis, 1990). To date much of the research has focused on cultural differences in the individualism-collectivism construct; and the application of these constructs to political ideology and voting intentions is scarce. It is arguable that more centre-right parties (e.g. Liberal- National) are more likely to endorse individualism than centre-left parties (Labour or Greens), whereas this trend may be reversed for collectivism.
