?:abstract
  • The literature on satisfaction with democracy has emphasised the importance of the electoral systems. Recent research on the subject however indicates that electoral systems no longer play the prominent role they once did. This study proposes to reinvigorate the study of political institutions for the importance of satisfaction with democracy. This study adds the difference between wholesale and partial alternation: that is the difference between countries where if the parties supporting the government lose their majority in elections, the opposition comes into power (wholesale alternation where) and countries where if the parties supporting the government lose their majority in elections, some parties leave government, some parties enter government but at least one party stays in government (partial alternation). This variable may form an important missing variable for the study of satisfaction with democracy. The strength of PR systems is that they allow for the representation of the full breadth of citizens’ opinions in parliament. The strength of majoritarian systems is supposed to be that their elections offer citizens a meaningful choice for who will govern them. The literature on the effect of electoral systems on satisfaction with democracy has seen this as a trade-off between two options. Yet, in countries with wholesale alternation the elections effectively decide who gets into power, independent of whether they use proportional and majoritarian electoral systems. The central question of this study is whether wholesale alternation boosts satisfaction with democracy. This question is examined by combining the CSES election surveys with data on government formation. (xsd:string)
