This article illustrates the importance of recruitment procedures for early representational role formation. Using data from elite interviews and socio-demographic characteristics of 34 Romanian candidates in the 2009 European parliamentary elections, our analysis fulfils two goals. Apart from substantiating the relationship between the degree of selection centralization and party-oriented roles, this study tests and validates new causal dimensions. Thus, a strong perception of the selectorates’ inclusiveness discourages the members of the European parliaments to act as party delegates. At the same time, longer party membership seems to have the opposite effect and seems to strengthen party loyalty
