Abstract
In chapter 13, Davide Denti investigates Malta, where politics is characterised by high polarisation along party lines and mobilisation of voters in a small society. The Author argues that using for the EP elections the same electoral system as in domestic ones renders them more familiar to the voters and fosters turnout, but also sacrifices participation opportunities and accuracy of representation, due to the lack of cross-party vote.File in questo prodotto:
