Pirates of the Atlantic
The Icelandic Pirate Party was first elected in 2013 and served for four consecutive terms in the Icelandic parliament. However, in the most recent (snap) election of November 2024, the Pirates did not manage to get re-elected to parliament. In this study, we examine the development of the Pirate Party using a theoretical framework that sees the life cycle of political parties as divided into three major stages: an ‘identification’ stage, an ‘org…

Constituency Service in Iceland and the Importance of the Centre–Periphery Divide
In this paper, we explore how Icelandic members of parliament (MPs) provide services to their constituencies. Using Icelandic candidate survey data and interviews with former Icelandic MPs, we found clear differences in how the capital city MPs and peripheral MPs approached and provided services to their constituents. Peripheral MPs described providing individual constituent services and actively defending their constituents’ interests in their p…
Re‐electing the Culprits of the Crisis? Elections in the Aftermath of a Recession
Theories of economic voting and electoral accountability suggest that voters punish incumbent governments for poor economic conditions. Incumbents are thus expected to suffer substantially during significant economic crisis but their successor in office will face the difficult task of reviving the economy. The economic crisis may, therefore, negatively affect government parties in subsequent elections even though the economic conditions may, to a…
Critical Election in the Wake of an Economic and Political Crisis
A critical election is generally defined as one in which the decisive results of voting reveal a sharp alternation of pre‐existing cleavage(s) and voting patterns, and the dealignment or realignment made between parties is lasting. A critical election can be caused by various factors and in this article the authors analyse whether the global credit crunch in 2008 set things in motion in Iceland, resulting in the 2009 election as a critical electi…
Styles of Representation and Voters’ Evaluations of Democratic Performance
This paper combines the nature and outcome of representation by analysing how different styles of representation emphasised within parties explain party voters’ evaluations of the performance of liberal democracy in their country, using for parties the Comparative Candidates Survey and for voters the European Social Survey 2012. Styles of representation are defined at the party level as the proportions of representatives within parties who are pa…
Political parties and styles of representation
This paper focuses on how characteristics of parties and party voters explain the styles of representation emphasised within parties. Styles of representation are defined at the party level as the proportion of representatives within parties who are partisans, delegates or trustees. Each style manifests due to different incentives related to the characteristics of their party and/or their party voters. The findings show that the main explanatory …
Policy Congruence and Style of Representation
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 article concludes that where there are higher proportion…
