We code each parliamentarians’ candidate preference within a wider dataset on the parliamentary Conservative Party (PCP) and test a range of hypotheses covering the following: a). personal factors relating to gender, sexuality, ethnicity and education b). political factors, relating to constituency marginality and type, as well as prior support for Johnson, and c). ideological factors, covering for example, attitudes towards Brexit, cultural debates, levelling up, economic liberalism, net zero and Covid restrictions. Our research findings demonstrate that despite common media narratives at the time of the party leadership election, variables capturing loyalty or opposition to Johnson did not structure patterns of support for candidates in either round. A parliamentarian's position on levelling up, as well as the UK's membership of, and relationship with, the European Union (based on whether they were remainers, leavers, or a member of the European Research Group) were more important in structuring support. However broader measures of ideology, as evidenced through the membership of extra-parliamentary groups, was found not to be important.","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48506464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saward","doi":"10.1080/00344893.2023.2233319","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00344893.2023.2233319","url":null,"abstract":"All who examine and puzzle over the ideas and practices of democracy, in the UK and well beyond, owe much to the scholarship and leadership of David Beetham (19382022) – a long-serving member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Representation – over several decades. In this short article, we discuss and appreciate key parts of David’s contribution to advancing our understanding of democracy, representation, rights, and more. In a short book published as a ‘Beginner’s Guide’ to democracy, Beetham (2005, p. 161) described his involvement with an ‘organisation or network called Democratic Audit’. The aim, he explained, has been to ‘develop a method and a framework which can be used by citizens of any country to audit their own democracy. The point of such an audit is to identify the most significant strengths and weaknesses as a contribution to reforming and strengthening the democratic process’. With Stuart Weir and others, David published two Democratic Audits of the UK (Beetham et al., 2002; Beetham & Weir, 1999). He was also closely involved with several of the audits in 24 other countries. Perhaps the ‘go to’ publication for anyone seeking to understand the continuing value of the Audit is Assessing the Quality of Democracy: A Practical Guide (Beetham et al., 2008). In 314 pages, the Practical Guide justifies the Audit as a framework and method of democracy assessment and compares it to other methods of assessing democracy. It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different data sources in evaluating different aspects of democracy, and draws lessons from experiences from audits around the world. Despite the admirable clarity of its standards, some might feel that the Audit starts out from a needlessly complex understanding of democracy. Why not just assess democracy as a simple competition for the people’s vote (Schattsneider, 1960)? Anything much more, the democratic realists tell us, gets democracy into trouble by pursuing unattainable ideals. In contrast, a form of government with periodic opportunities to throw the rascals is not only possible, but is also a remarkable development compared to the dismal ways in which humans have been governed for most of their history. So why does assessing democracy require much more than free and fair elections; rights needed for free and fair elections and rascals who are prepared to accept being thrown out? The answer, in David’s view, was that even indicators based on rights, competition and inclusiveness – a combination that had become ‘standard’ since Dahl (1971) – failed to","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":"59 1","pages":"365 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45417911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Public Deliberation or Popular Votes? Measuring the Performance of Different Types of Participatory Democracy","authors":"Brigitte Geißel, Ank Michels, Nanuli Silagadze, Jonas Schauman, Kimmo Grönlund","doi":"10.1080/00344893.2023.2213698","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00344893.2023.2213698","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT There is a growing body of empirical research on democracies with strong or weak deliberative and/or direct democratic features. But how do these features affect the performance of a country? How do participatory types of democracies differ considering system performance, democratic performance, and social performance? Which type is more successful? Although these questions are most crucial and pressing in democracy research, they remain mostly unexplored. Our explorative study is a start to fill this gap. It analyzes which participatory types of democracies perform better: countries with less or more deliberation, countries with less or more direct democratic elements, countries that score high or low on both features. Based on several datasets and applying different statistical tools, we show that the associations between these types of democracy and performance are multifaceted. The most important finding, however, is clear-cut. Democracies with strong deliberative as well as strong direct democratic features perform better than other democracies. Combining deliberation with direct democracy seems to be the optimal formula to guarantee high social, system, and democratic performance. However, many questions remain open and we discuss the need for future research.","PeriodicalId":35158,"journal":{"name":"Representation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45017732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
