“…3 Yet, there already exist several studies that have attempted to map the reasons for the emergence, form, or electoral base of pirate parties (see e.g. Miegel and Olsson, 2008;Cosstick, 2009;Brunclík, 2010;Hartleb, 2013;Beyer, 2014;Maškarinec, 2014;Novotný, 2014;Bolleyer et al, 2015;Charvát, 2015;Fredriksson, 2015;Novotný, 2015).…”

The paper presents a spatial analysis of the Czech Pirate Party (Pirates) voter support in the 2010 and 2013 parliamentary elections and the 2014 European Parliament elections. The main method applied for classifying electoral results was the spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression. The result of the analysis has shown that territorial support for the Pirates copies to a great extent the areas of high support for right-wing parties and simultaneously the areas exemplified by a high development potential. In the case of spatial characteristics, little support for the Pirates was shown in Moravia and higher in the Sudetenland in terms of determinants of support. Additionally to spatial regimes, inter-regional support for the Pirates was also influenced by other non-spatial characteristics, although the strength of their influence was relatively weak. The units which embodied a successful environment for voting for the Pirates were particularly characterized by greater urbanization and a greater number of entrepreneurs, while a lack of jobs and the older age structure, i.e. the signs that in the socio-economic, or socio-ecological sense define peripheral areas, negatively impacted the gains of the Pirates. Ambiguous influence was exercised by college-educated inhabitants, who in the parliamentary elections in 2010 and 2013 decreased the gains of the Pirates, however, in the elections to the European Parliament in 2014 a direction of relationship was modified and turned positive.

“…Thus, a society characterised by more fragmented and family-based relations may be more affected by the decline of partisanship than a highly civic, integrated and economically developed society. (Biorcio, 2014;Hartleb, 2013). Yet a recent paper by Vampa (2015) clearly shows that the Five Star Movement has achieved better results in those municipalities in which local lists have been weaker (in Northern Italy and in the red regions).…”

In Western democracies political representation at the national level is still dominated by (old and new) political parties. This paper shows that, instead, the representative role of parties may have declined at the local level. In Italy, for instance, the average share of municipal seats held by non-partisan councillors has almost tripled in the last twenty years. By using an original dataset, this paper classifies different types of Italian local lists, assesses their relationship with traditional parties and explains territorial variation in their success. The results suggest that local lists have become substantially stronger in small municipalities, in regions characterised by weak or declining political subcultures and where regionalist parties are absent or irrelevant. Finally, contrary to the expectation that declining partisanship is linked to modernization processes and direct civic engagement, local lists have achieved their best results in the less developed areas of the country.

“…Indeed, as electoral activity becomes increasingly professionalized (e.g., Hartleb, 2013;Lisi, 2013;Strömbäck, 2007), a suitable amount of resources is needed to keep up-an "online arms race" that might not be as easy to continue for comparably smaller actors. A case in point could be one of the services studied here, Twitter.…”

Top Users and Long Tails: Twitter and Instagram Use During the 2015 Norwegian Elections

Uses of social media for purposes of political campaigning have become widespread across several electoral contexts. However, as much of the research focused on these issues have dealt primarily with Twitter, relatively little is known regarding how parties make use of other, similar platforms. This article analyzes Twitter and Instagram use during the 2015 Norwegian elections. By adopting a comparative approach, the article suggests a novel approach for applying the often-used normalization and equalization hypotheses. While the former of these hypotheses suggests that larger parties will dominate online, the latter proposes that comparably smaller actors will utilize comparably novel services—such as Instagram in this case—to comparably larger extents than their more sizeable competitors. Contrary to the hypotheses, however, messages primarily relating to smaller actors tended to dominate on Twitter, while larger actors were found to be successful in terms of gaining traction on Instagram.
