Linking Citizens and Parties addresses familiar questions about
political representation: Are parties responsive to their core
supporters or to the public in general? Do parties that adopt
centrist policy positions benefit in elections? Does proportional
representation encourage party extremism? These fundamental
questions about democracy are paired with the empirical observation
of Western European democracies during the last thirty years. The
study highlights the pathways (mainstream and niche) through which
citizens' political preferences are expressed by their political
parties. It concludes with a positive evaluation of these
democracies as their citizens have access to at least one, and
possibly both niche and mainstream pathways.
