Impact of Relations between the Electorate and the Political Parties in Terms of Ideological Profiling

Abstract

Social, political and economic reality in Albania has led to the debate on policy issues of left and right specter at a specifically theoretical and practical level. In order to shed light on the vagueness of ideological structuring of Albanian main parties, a survey was undertaken. This survey would examine how the electorate of Tirana perceived the relation between the Albanian politics and ideology. At the same time, the survey would assess the behavior of the voting electorate in relation to this structuring of the Albanian political parties. The results of such a sociological research are very important because this perception of Tirana electorate has a great impact on its voting behavior. Moreover, one third of the electorate of the Republic of Albania lives in Tirana, having thus a very significant effect on the general opinion of the Albanian society.
