“…The data vary by generation with the older tending to have engineering education, as in the Soviet time, while economics and finances are more prominent in the younger cohorts (Kolesnik, 2019). Analysis of over a thousand city council elections between 2014 and 2018 showed that self-nominee candidates formally affiliated with the ruling party had higher chances regardless of educational level, while for those who were not, higher education was found to be significant along with the previous experience in the position (Tkacheva & Turchenko, 2022).…”

“…Сама переменная представляет собой долю депутатов в муниципальном совете от "Яблока" и КПРФ. Я отказался от учета здесь депутатов от ЛДПР, Справедливой России и ПАРНАС ввиду их незначительной численности в муниципальных советах выбранных районов (0 депутатов у ЛДПР и по 1 депутату у двух других), а также не брал в расчет депутатов-самовыдвиженцев, поскольку отнесение их к оппозиции требует детального персонального изучения: часть самовыдвиженцев в Москве -это административные кандидаты мэрии (Tkacheva, Turchenko, 2021), всего в моих данных самовыдвиженцев -15 депутатов по всем выбранным 30 районам.…”

The article is a study of the peculiarities of voting for the opposition in the municipal elections in Moscow in 2017 through the logic of the socio-psychological voting model. The author considers the social characteristics of citizens and neighboring / district communities as conditions associated with greater support for the opposition in local elections in 30 Moscow districts. The density of communications, the level of generalized trust, organizational experience, as well as the average cost of real estate in the area are taken as such conditions. The method of analysis in the article is the multi-values qualitative comparative analysis (mvQCA), which makes it possible to consider the necessary conditions associated with a greater representation of the opposition in municipal councils. The results of the analysis partially confirm the theoretical expectations: the density of communication within the community is a prerequisite for higher support for the opposition in local elections. However, the level of generalized trust and organizational experience are not necessarily enough. The class characteristic in the form of the cost of housing is also a prerequisite for supporting the opposition in the elections.

“…Another relevant political phenomenon is the electoral success of independent candidates (i.e., individuals who run for office without the support of, or an affiliation with, a political party) in a variety of political settings [8][9][10]. For example, in 2022, Rodolfo Hernandez ran as an independent in Colombia and almost won the election in the second round, obtaining 47% of the votes.…”

The ideological dispute between left and right has dominated the political discussion for decades in multiple countries across the globe. However, in recent years people vs. elite debates have replaced traditional ideological conflicts in explaining voters’ electoral decisions. In this paper, we investigate whether anti-elite attitudes contribute to a key political outcome: the increase in successful independent candidates. We implement a conjoint experiment in Chile, where anti-elite sentiments and the number of successful independent politicians are currently prominent. We find that preferences for independent candidates largely increase among voters with anti-elite orientations. In a context where traditional parties face difficult times, such beliefs are key to understanding the factors behind support for candidates with no party affiliation. This insight is important because electing independent politicians can promote a personalistic style of politics, undermine democratic accountability, and foster conflict between the executive and legislative branches.
