But why are de facto closed-list PR MPs punished for a lack of local representation? Local party branches like incumbents providing a direct pipeline into parliament for local issues, they coalesce with other branches to support MPs in return for local representation. For more, check out the paper!

Neglecting local representation is punished by the selectorate. More so for men, than for women, as women benefit from the gender quota in the Green party and face less intra-party competition.

Observationally, I code deselection and nomination failure using (historical) nomination protocols of the Green party & link it to the geographic focus of Parliamentary Questions.

In this study I explore the relevance of geographic representation for PR-elected Green MPs in Germany using elite survey experiments & archival protocol data. In the survey, I show that actual party delegates prefer MPs engaged in local representation - even if they are ideologically distant.

Yet, same-sex preferences exist for placing candidates on the top list position: men prefer male list-leader, women female list-leader. Given Austria’s small districts & a majority of male party leaders, this finding helps to understand women’s continued underrepresentation in the Nationalrat.

Michael and I conducted elite survey experiments w party leaders in Austria. Their task: nominate 6 out of 9 potential candidates & rank these 6 on a hypothetical party list.
Overall, bonus for female candidates, the more so, the less women were in the pool of potential candidates.

The Japanese Komeito sets an age limit of 69 for its incumbents and tends to enforce it too -- though with exceptions. The Dutch SGP introduced a limit of 65 in 1978. And, I think the Austrian SPÖ too had/has age limits for new candidates and incumbents. There might be more out there.
