  • Does governing in coalitions affect how coalition parties’ policy positions are perceived by voters?In this article, the authors seek to understand the relationship between parties’ participation in coalitiongovernments and their perception by voters. Policy positions are an important instrument through whichparties compete for the support of voters. However, it is unclear to what extent voters can correctly perceivethe positions of parties when they govern together with other coalition partners. It is argued here thatbecause of the blurred lines of responsibility in multiparty cabinets, it is difcult for voters to correctlyperceive the positions of coalition parties. What is more, it is expected that the internal functioning ofcoalition cabinets affects the extent to which coalition parties struggle to get their message out to voters.It is hypothesized in the article that intra-cabinet conict is negatively related to misperception. To test theirtheoretical expectations, the authors combine data on the left-right policy positions of political parties fromthe Comparative Manifestos Project with data on how these positions are perceived by voters gathered fromthe Comparative Study of Electoral Systems from 1996 to 2011. The ndings shed light on the relationshipbetween party competition and coalition governments, and its implications for political representation. (xsd:string)
