Abstract

This article argues for the need to distinguish two dimensions constituting politicians' relationships to party systems: politicians are classified as either outsiders or insiders, depending on their party system origins, and as either anti-party or party-tolerant, depending on their discourse vis-a-vis the party system. Using data gathered from the recent Parliamentary Elites of Latin America survey in Peru, I find that party system origins and discourse vary significantly with party membership and with legislators' views on three sets of important political issues: (1) democracy, elections and parties, (2) human rights and the role of the armed forces, and (3) the economy, labor and the role of the state. In addition, contrary to widely shared assumptions, both anti-party and party-tolerant outsiders in Peru show a greater affinity for the ideological center than for the right, while both groups showed a marked disaffinity for the political left.

  • Party systems with weak parties produce less-experienced politicians who are less likely to be unconditional supporters of democracy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
