Main Article Content

Abstract

This article presents the explanatory variables of party identification with the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) in Mexico City. Using a multivariate logistic model and data gathered by an exit poll realized in the country’s capital, by the Laboratory of Political Innovation, this work proves that the partisanship with morena doesn’t have neither emotional nor strictly ideological entailment, just as the original theoretical formulation suggest about party membership is based on. On the contrary, this article shows that the political identification with morena is a rational partisanship which is explained by the disapproval of the administration leaded by Miguel A. Mancera as head of  Mexico City’s Government, the impact of Andrés Manuel López Obrador candidacy for presidency and the concrete benefits of social policies implemented during previous Partido de la Revolución Democrática’s goverments, such as pro-abortion postures, the recognition of same-sex marriage and the marijuana’s legalization, postures proper to left ideology. In this sense, it is shown that the characteristics that defined the partisanship for the Partido de la Revolución Democrática in Mexico City, such as left ideology and the concern about poverty, nowadays, are the constitutive elements proper to the political identification with MORENA.
