Preferred term

dealignment  

Definition

  • Dealignment is a weakening of partisan attachments that leads to a decline in the portion of the electorate affiliated with political parties. During periods of partisan dealignment, party coalitions dissolve, leaving larger shares of the electorate as independents. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Dealignment]
