🌅📙 64.3 As you wish? 🧞 Looking at 13 countries P.Mongrain, N.Junius & @nathaliebrack.bsky.social ask who calls the shots, with most citizens preferring delegate-style reps who follow #PublicOpinion. But how do MP's see themselves? #Democracy 🔗

Me too

Coming back from holidays feeling like this without the confidence

Our paper "As you wish? Public preferences for models of representation and MPs’ role orientations" has been assigned to an issue of @ejprjournal.bsky.social 🤩 ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Besides the obvious problem of hyper-partisan politics, a good reminder that political action can shape public opinion and does not always need to follow it.
