This chapter connects the two end-poles of the chain of political representation: citizens’ policy preferences and public policy outputs. As a step in between, it discusses work on different kinds of congruence between the political preferences of citizens and those of their representatives at different levels of aggregation.

European Parliament Elections and Political Representation: Policy Congruence between Voters and Parties Rory Costello University of Limerick rory.costello@ul.ie Jacques Thomassen University of Twente j.j.a.thomassen@utwente.nl Martin Rosema University of Twente m.rosema@utwente.nl Abstract

In line with recent works on electoral systems and representation, our findings support the claim that majoritarian and proportional representation electoral systems both have mechanisms which allow governments to represent their citizens similarly. This international collaborative project investigated the degree of congruence between preferences of citizens and those elected to represent them. Specifically, this project emphasized the degree of congruence between political parties and citizens while earlier work has mainly focused on congruence between governments or policy output and citizens. present analysis of policy congruence in the 2009 election to the EU’s transnational multilevel assembly seeks to provide us with a refined understanding of EU citizens’ representation and to Research on policy congruence has by and large concentrated on govern- ment parties (for example, Huber and Powell, 1994; Blais and Bodet, 2006). Yet, in the context of democratic representation Although ideological congruence is a central component of empirical and normative theory of representation, little is known about congruence between ideologically extreme parties (IEPs) and their supporters or the broader electorate.

In this book, a group of leading scholars analyzes the functioning of modern democracies by focusing on two basic principles: political representation and policy congruence. Drawing on recent survey data from a variety of national and international research projects, they demonstrate how political representation works and mostly leads to a fair degree of policy congruence between citizens Model of representation (see e.g.

value of congruence with regard to descriptive representation (e.g.,Mansbridge1999). Mass-elite congruence is thus an important element of representation, both on its own and as part of the broader representative process. Empirically, congruence also seems to affect important democratic indicators like the This article examines policy congruence between voters and candidates, utilising the candidate and voter surveys of the European Election Study 2009. First, it demonstrates that policy preferences of candidates and voters are constrained by three separate policy dimensions. representation’.

This is positional policy congruence—it asks only how the policy positions of the gov-ernment and the governed correspond. Important debates in this field have centered on whether such representation takes place at the individual or the collective level. Of interest here is the question of whether the policy preferences of the public are

This chapter outlines the great diversity in the way policy congruence is studied, in terms of who the representatives are, whether congruence measured on a single ideological dimension, for specific issues or as issue priority This article focuses on whether styles of representation influence policy congruence. Style of representation is defined at the party level as the proportion of representatives within parties who are partisans, delegates or trustees.

Policy congruence refers to how close on the left–right scale the mean position of a party as placed by its candidates is compared to that of party voters. The We examine policy congruence between voters and candidates, utilizing the candidate and voter surveys of the European Election Study 2009. First, we demonstrate that policy preferences of candidates and voters are constrained by three separate policy dimensions. the quality of representation should be assessed in the first instance by the end-result of the process, i.e. the degree to which elections generate congruence between the policy preferences of voters and the policy positions of the parties they voted for (Thomassen and van Ham, 2014: 402).

Policy congruence is concerned with the similarity of policy preferences of voters on the one hand and the preferences and actions of representatives on the other hand. This chapter outlines the great diversity in the way policy congruence is studied, in terms of who the representatives are, whether congruence measured on a single ideological dimension, for specific issues or as issue priority
