?:abstract
  • Ultimately, electoral democracy is about governments doing what citizens want. However, considerable evidence shows that parties influence citizens’ preferences. Most studies on party influence rely on experimental designs which present participants with parties’ positions. The disadvantage of this approach is that many citizens are already aware of those positions, thus underestimating party influence. Meanwhile, few studies assess reactions to real changes in party positions, which avoids this limitation. In response, we break new ground by assessing the impact of changes in coalition governments, which lead to changes in party positions that are partly exogenous to elite and mass preferences, on partisans’ preferences. Using panel data from the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES), we leverage the changing coalitions led by the Christian Democrats in Germany in recent years. We find that coalitions influence partisans’ policy preferences. Our findings have significant implications for how we think about democratic representation in multi-party contexts. (xsd:string)
