    Unequal Representation in the EU: a multi-level Analysis of Voter-Party Congruence in EP Elections
    in Representation , Volume 48, Issue 1 ,  2012 ,  83-99
    This article analyses unequal representation in the EU by using a multi-level model to examine voter–party congruence across three policy dimensions in EP elections. Taking data from the European Election Study and the Chapel Hill expert surveys, I find that congruence is weaker amongst citizens who don't vote in EP elections, who switch party preferences between national and EP elections and who have low political knowledge but find limited evidence that smaller and ideologically extreme parties are more congruent with their support base.
