Les législateurs provinciaux canadiens en tant que serviteurs de leur circonscriptionA partir de données cueillies par la poste auprès des législateurs provinciaux canadiens qui n'occupent pas de fonctions exécutives, les auteurs vérifient empiriquement la validité de trois hypothèses concernant la proportion de temps consacré par le législateur à desservir sa circonscription électorate, cette proportion étant supposée varier selon (1) la perception qu'a le législateur de son rôle de représentation, (2) le degré de compétition politique dans son comté et (3) l'orientation « locale » ou « cosmopolite » du législateur. Les données révèlent que si la grande majorité des législateurs provinciaux consacrent beaucoup de temps à desservir leurs électeurs, cette période de temps varie considérablement selon les partis et les provinces sans qu'il soit possible d'expliquer ces variations par regroupements culturels ou géographiques. Quant aux hypothèses à vérifier, il appert (1) que plus les législateurs se perçoivent comme des mandataires, plus ils consacrent de temps à leurs électeurs, (2) que le degré de compétition politique dans le comté n'influe en rien sur le service à l'électorat et (3) que les législateurs « locaux » (i.e. ceux qui résident depuis longtemps dans de petites communautés rurales) desservent davantage leurs électeurs que les législateurs « cosmopolitains » (i.e. ceux qui résident depuis moins longtemps dans les comtés fortement urbanisés
