This paper explores the structure of elite disagreement about the ideological or nonideological character of municipal politics. I propose two possible relationships between a representative’s own ideology and their beliefs about the character of municipal politics: an “ends-against-the-middle” pattern, in which ideologues on the left and right embrace an ideological vision of municipal politics, whereas moderates insist that municipal politics is not ideological; and an “asymmetric visions” pattern, in which individuals on the left endorse an ideological view of municipal politics and those on the right oppose it. I use new survey data from more than 800 mayors and councillors in Canada to assess these possible relationships. While both are supported by the data, the asymmetric visions pattern is the stronger of the two: the nonideological view of municipal politics is most firmly embraced by municipal politicians of the moderate right, while the ideological vision is most common among representatives on the left. This pattern, I argue, is in keeping with a century of municipal political history and should be incorporated into our theories of municipal elections, representation, and policy disagreement.

市级非意识形态的意识形态结构

本文探讨了精英对市政政治的意识形态或非意识形态特征的分歧结构。我提出了代表自己的意识形态与他们对市政政治特征的信念之间的两种可能关系:一种“反对中间人”的模式,在这种模式中,左翼和右翼的理论家拥护市政政治的意识形态愿景,而温和派坚持市政政治不是意识形态的;以及“不对称愿景”模式,其中左翼人士赞同市政政治的意识形态观点,而右翼人士则反对。我使用来自加拿大 800 多位市长和议员的新调查数据来评估这些可能的关系。虽然两者都得到数据的支持,但不对称视觉模式是两者中更强的:市政政治的非意识形态观点最坚定地被温和右翼的市政政治家所接受,而意识形态观点在左翼代表中最为普遍。我认为,这种模式符合一个世纪的市政政治历史,应该纳入我们的市政选举、代表和政策分歧理论。
