?:abstract
  • Our study examines to what extent parliamentary candidates believe that Members of Parliament (MPs) from certain social groups are better equipped to represent that particular group. It also assesses to what extent candidates belonging to a specific social group are more likely to believe that MPs of that social group are better in representing the interests of citizens from that same social group. Using the 2009 German Candidate Survey, we look at four social groups: immigrants, women, religious people and East Germans. The descriptive results indicate that support for the link between descriptive and substantive representation is highest for women and lowest for East Germans. The explanatory analyses indicate that women are more likely than men to believe that women are better in representing the interests of women, and immigrants are more likely than non-immigrants to believe that immigrants are better in representing the interests of immigrants. The same holds for East Germans and religious people. The belief among candidates that MPs from a certain social groups are being better in representing that group, only holds for the candidate’s own group, with the exception of women who not only believe that women are better in representing women but also that immigrants are better in representing the interests of immigrants.
