This study addresses the debate on the persistence or the decline of social class, especially regarding political positioning. The introduction contains considerations about class analysis and the often claimed end of class. After a section dedicated to the theoretical framework with regard to social inequalities, we analyse the effect of social class on different political attitudes. Empirical results seem to indicate a continuing influence of class on these attitudes. We conclude that social class, together with religious affiliation, still appear to be a factor in political cleavage.
Keywords: Social stratification, social mobility, political behavior, political attitudes, Switzerland
