Attempts to answer the question "Does politics make anydifference?" by comparing the total spending of local authoritiesunder three types of political control over seven years. Considersstatistical data for a seven-year period in the light of party-politicalmanifesto undertakings over spending on services. ANOVA and t-test statistical analyses are applied to data on a sample of 15 localauthorities, divided equally into Labour, Conservative and"hung" councils, to assess differences between their percapita spending. The results support the view that political ideologiesplay a significant role in local authority spending decisions.
