?:abstract
  • This chapter asks under which conditions elections are most meaningful by looking at (a) the contribution of institutions, (b) the supply side of politics, and (c) the demand side. Emphasis is placed on the conditions under which voters can base their choices on proximity considerations. The respective institutional hypothesis is that proximity considerations are moderated by the character of a political system: the more consensual it is the stronger the impact of proximity on the vote. For supply, the chapter takes the policy proposals parties made in their election platforms, looking for clarity in the offer with regard to the relationship between political offers and the perceived left–right position of a party. Regarding demand, the chapter investigates the impact of proximity on voting. The results do not support the assumption that consensus democracies produce more proximity and better representation as Lijphart claims. The results rather support the supply hypothesis.
