Dossier on Greens in Spain 2Nov2011 To the Council Delegates Copenhagen, 11-13 May 2012 Dear Delegates, We inform you by this separate letter that the EGP Committee proceeds with the proposal to the Copenhagen Council to withdraw the membership of the ‘Confederación de los Verdes de Espana’. We have sent you a separate mailing on the issue to avoid all confusion or running the risk that the issue will not be picked up from the mails with general information to the EGP Delegates. We know this is a delicate and sensitive issue and that is why we want you to be fully aware of all the facts. You have received in November 2011 and in February 2012 a full dossier (annex) stating the European Green Party repeatedly received information that the Confederación has not been functioning properly. Procedure at the Council We have scheduled a closed session in the Copenhagen programme, on Saturday from 9h00 to 10h00, for Delegates only, to discuss and give you the opportunity for questions and answers. Naturally we will give the representatives of the Confederación the floor as well to enable them to express their view on the matter. We bring the membership issue to the vote on Sunday morning at the beginning of the voting session, where we will proceed as in a normal voting session and give the floor to one speaker pro and one speaker contra before proceeding towards the vote. More information The Committee received, among others, complaints on the Confederación regarding the following points: no respect for their statutes and internal democratic rules, lack of clarity as regards the leadership, lack of transparency and doubts regarding the existence of the legal seat of the party. The Confederación has not been able to abide by their own statutory requirements for years, nor adhered to internal democratic procedures, and the EGP has received complaints on this from several of the member parties of the Confederación. In October 2011 the European Green Party received notice that 13 out of the 16 of the confederated parties and local groups of the Confederación have now adhered to EQUO, and those parties and groups do not consider the Confederación as an existing party. …/ European Green Party, aisbl - 31, Rue Wiertz, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium, Phone +32 2 626 07 20 Fax +32 2 626 07 29, [email protected], www.europeangreens.eu /… Since the dossier sent in February, we received a letter from the Confederación de Los Verdes, which you can find in annex. In this letter, the Confederación repeats most of the arguments we already went through in previous correspondence and confirmed to us what we consider the most important point of this procedure, meaning the fact that the Confederación is not a working structure and that its membership is not clear. The definition of who is a member and who is not and the disputes around statutes, fees and lists have been going on for years, as you can see in the letters and exchanges of mails in the dossier. On the other hand, it is a fact that the process of reunification of the Green groups and parties is continuing in Spain and that the Congress of EQUO will take place on July the 6th 2012. The Committee is aware that withdrawal of membership is a serious issue and that some of you might want extra information. We would greatly appreciate it if you would contact us should you need more information and/or contact us with any questions that you might have. Attached you will also find the draft emergency resolution tabled by the Committee.

  • Second-Order Elections: Everyone, Everywhere? Regional and National Considerations in Regional Voting

Regional and National Considerations in Regional Voting Robert Liñeira University of Edinburgh [email protected] Abstract: Vote choice in regional elections is commonly explained as dependent on national politics and occasionally as an autonomous decision driven by region-specific factors. However, few arguments and little evidence have been provided regarding the determinants that drive voters’ choices to one end or the other of this dependency-autonomy continuum. In this article we claim that contextual and individual factors help to raise (or lower) the voters’ awareness of their regional government, affecting the scale of considerations (national or regional) they use to cast their votes at regional elections. Using survey data from regional elections in Spain, we find that voters’ decisions are more autonomous from national politics among the more politically sophisticated voters, among those who have stronger feelings of attachment to their region, and in those contexts in which the regional incumbent party is different from the national one. In their landmark article Reif and Schmitt (1980) drew a distinction between first and second- order elections.

    Politician-Citizen Interactions and Dynamic Representation: Evidence from Twitter Nikolas Schöll Aina Gallego Gaël Le Mens January 2021 Barcelona GSE Working Paper Series Working Paper nº 1238 Politician-Citizen Interactions and Dynamic Representation: Evidence from Twitter∗ Nikolas Sch¨oll,y Aina Gallegozand Ga¨elLe Mensx January 29 2021 Abstract We study how politicians learn about public opinion through their regular interac- tions with citizens and how they respond to perceived changes. We model this process within a reinforcement learning framework: politicians talk about different policy is- sues, listen to feedback, and increase attention to better received issues. Because politicians are exposed to different feedback depending on their social identities, being responsive leads to divergence in issue attention over time. We apply these ideas to study the rise of gender issues. We collected 1.5 million tweets written by Spanish MPs, classified them using a deep learning algorithm, and measured feedback using retweets and likes. We find that politicians are responsive to feedback and that fe- male politicians receive relatively more positive feedback for writing on gender issues. An analysis of mechanisms sheds light on why this happens. In the conclusion, we discuss how reinforcement learning can create unequal responsiveness, misperceptions, and polarization. Keywords: Political responsiveness, representation, social media, gender.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Party dominance is not clearly conceptualized and operationalized in the existing literature and has rarely been quantitatively assessed and explained. This study defines dominance as a combination of absolute dominance – the percentage of parliamentary seats won by the largest ruling party – and relative dominance, which takes into account the strength of its main competitor. Based on this definition, it would be possible to calculate an average score of party dominance over a defined period of time. The index developed here is applied to the main ruling parties in 54 regions from 1995 to 2015. Variation in regional party dominance during this period is then explained by considering dominance at the national level, differences in regional socioeconomic development and political legacies. In the last part of the article, individual party scores are aggregated by region. Association between this new aggregate score and regional quality of government is tested. Keywords: dominance; political parties; regions; government; opposition; index 1 The issue of party dominance has been discussed by many scholars focusing on national or subnational politics. However, so far the definition and operationalization of this concept has remained quite vague. Most importantly, dominance has rarely been included in quantitative analyses as a dependent, independent or control variable. This is quite surprising since the ability of parties to shape the political agenda and impact on public policies is greatly enhanced when they are able to play a key role in government for a considerable period of time and are not seriously challenged by competitors.

    Revista de Comunicación de la SEECI, nº 47, 15 noviembre 2018 -15 marzo 2019, 17-36 ISSN: 1576-3420 RESEARCH http://doi.org/10.15198/seeci.2018.47.17-36 Recibido: 21/03/2018 --- Aceptado: 15/05/2018 --- Publicado: 15/11/2018 THE USE OF INSTAGRAM BY THE CATALAN POLITICAL PARTIES DURING THE REFERENDUM OF 1 OCTOBER EL USO DE INSTAGRAM POR LOS PARTIDOS POLÍTICOS CATALANES DURANTE EL REFERÉNDUM DEL 1-O Manuel Jesús Cartes Barroso1: European University Miguel de Cervantes. Spain. [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1768-275X ABSTRACT Instagram is one of the fashionable social networks of the moment. In the new digital ecosystem, associations, companies and organizations have begun to understand the benefits of having a presence in this social network, including those belonging to the field of politics, as in the case of political parties. In Spain, concretely, its use emerges at present, the communication that the Catalan groups developed through Instagram when holding the referendum of independence of this autonomous community, on October 1, 2017 being a clear example of this situation. Due to the media importance and the wide dissemination given to this event in social networks, this article aims to analyze the use that the political groups represented in the Parliament of Catalonia made of the social network developed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, to know the degree of importance it has in the political sphere. The methodology we applied is content analysis, in its qualitative and quantitative aspects. Among the main conclusions, we can affirm that political parties do not use all the possibilities of this social network.

No; tenéis el derecho que os ha dado la ley, la ley la hicisteis vosotros, pero no tenéis el derecho natural, el derecho fundamental, que se basa en el respeto a todo ser humano, y lo que hacéis es detentar un Poder; dejad que la mujer se manifieste y veréis cómo ese Poder no podéis seguir detentándolo” Clara Campoamor, 1931 Índice ÍNDICE DE TABLAS, CUADROS, GRÁFICAS E IMÁGENES ......................
