the state’s power can be exercised through several different administrative structures
the ruling elite is composed of people from various class backgrounds
political parties must compete for the votes of ‘consumers’ in the electorate
there is a close alignment between class background and party preference
political parties must compete for the votes of ‘consumers’ in the electorate
