![[…] Party People makes important contributions to the political parties and party systems literature with a new measure of party change, an original party-candidates dataset that covers a long period across nine CEE democracies, and in-depth discussions of different parties/party systems in CEE. And, the contributions and implications of Party People are not unique to CEE. The convincing argument for studying candidate changes to better understand party change is generalizable to all other democracies with political parties and elections and makes this book a must-read for all political party scholars.

Excited to have participated in the excellent Estonian Legal Scholars Conference and share my thoughts on how to improve Estonian parliamentarism (further). Really enjoyed seeing so many old and new colleagues and friends in beautiful Tartu!
Interesting. Weights make sense. But you’d get HH=0.5 if all q’s are *both* def & budget. Depends on the exact purpose but could be quite different from 50% d & 50% b?
