摘要

本研究深入探讨了全民公决使政治选择合法化的标准。研究采用了有关七个欧洲国家加入欧盟的调查实验，重点关注全民公决结果、多数差额和选民参与的变化。实证结果揭示了公投合法性的一致模式，强调了多数差额和投票率的影响。研究还揭示了维持现状的偏见对全民公决结果支持率的关键作用，以及对虚假多数的担忧对公众接受全民公决的影响。这项研究有助于理解民主程序使政治决策合法化的机制，揭示全民投票在民主治理中的微妙作用。

Beyond the Ballot: The Impact of Voting Margin and Turnout on the Legitimacy of Referendum Outcomes in Europe

This study delves into the criteria under which referendums can legitimise political choices. It employs survey experiments regarding EU membership across seven European nations, focusing on variations in referendum outcomes, majority margins and voter participation. The empirical results reveal a consistent pattern of legitimacy attributed to referendums, emphasising the influence of majority margin and voter turnout. It also uncovers the critical role of status quo bias on outcome favorability and the apprehension regarding false majorities in shaping public acceptance of referendums. This research contributes to understanding the mechanisms by which democratic procedures legitimise political decisions, revealing the nuanced role of referendums in democratic governance.
