Abstract

The literature on deliberative mini-publics (DMPs) establishes a link between political dissatisfaction and support for DMPs. However, little is known about the sources of political dissatisfaction that trigger this support. Our research tackles this specific question and claims that citizen dissatisfaction is rooted in a position of ‘losers of representative democracy’, which leads citizens to be more open to reforms that move away from the representative model. Building on the literature on loser's consent, we focus on the effect of voting for a party not associated with the government and of descriptive and substantive (under)-representation in support of DMPs. We rely on a comparative survey conducted across fifteen Western European countries. Supporters of opposition parties and those who are badly represented, both descriptively and substantively, are more supportive of DMPs. These findings have important implications for understanding the public appeal for deliberative democracy instruments.
代议制民主失败者对慎思型小型公共机构的支持
关于审议型微型公众(dmp)的文献在政治不满和对dmp的支持之间建立了联系。然而,引发这种支持的政治不满的来源却鲜为人知。我们的研究解决了这个具体问题,并声称公民的不满植根于“代议制民主的失败者”的立场,这导致公民对摆脱代议制模式的改革更加开放。在失败者同意的文献基础上,我们关注投票给与政府无关的政党的影响,以及支持dmp的描述性和实质性(不足)代表性的影响。我们依靠在15个西欧国家进行的比较调查。反对党的支持者和那些在名义上和实质上都没有得到充分代表的人,更支持民主党人。这些发现对于理解公众对协商民主手段的诉求具有重要意义。
