The paper develops an argument where the relationship between class and voting is understood as a dynamic process driven by the government policy choices about redistribution. Empirically, it shows how the shape and internal composition of the constituency of the socialist governments changed as a result of the redistributive policies they implemented. In so doing the paper challenges both the thesis about the declining significance of class and the most deterministic conceptions of class voting.spaRedistributionWelfare StateElectoral BehaviourClass Votingjournal articleopen access
