- Coattail_effect abstract "The coattail effect is the tendency for a popular political party leader to attract votes for other candidates of the same party in an election. For example, in the United States, the party of a victorious presidential candidate will often win many seats in Congress as well; these congressmen are voted into office “on the coattails” of the president.This theory is prevalent at all levels of government. A popular statewide candidate for governor or senator can attract support for down ballot races of their party as well.This is prevalent in the United Kingdom especially in a general election. People have a tendency to vote on the basis of a political party instead of the MP for their area.In New Zealand where a Mixed Member Proportional electoral system is in place, minor political parties can have a huge say over election results. There have been cases where party leaders from the major parties have endorsed politicians from minor parties. This is so that the minor party will be able to gain enough seats to get into parliament and therefore be able to pledge their support behind the major party which results in the major party being able to form a government with the assistance of the minor party. This has been a key issue in New Zealand politics particularly in the 2011 Election Campaign and in the Epsom electorate.This also refers to the phenomenon that members of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives are more likely to be voted for on a year of the presidential election than a midterm.The "coattail effect" has also been used to derogatorily describe the effect of Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) in Singapore, where candidates for Parliament run on a party slate of 3 to 6 candidates. This allows weak candidates to get elected "riding on the coattails" of strong candidates on their slate.".
