Moreover, citizens with higher income, higher education, and more left-leaning views react most strongly to MPs who choose not to disclose their side income.

Our survey experiment also shows that citizens evaluate non-transparent MPs based on both the number and type of their side jobs (companies vs. public interest groups).

MPs with undisclosed income from many ties to companies are rated lowest in trustworthiness and electability.

📣 New EJPR publication!

@stefaniebailer.bsky.social, @nathaliegiger.bsky.social and I study citizens’ attitudes toward MPs’ side income disclosure in 7 European countries.

MPs who conceal income are trusted least, even less than those with very high side incomes.

📣 When do citizens accept politicians with a day job? My new study in @lgstudies.bsky.social shows how it depends on public office professionalisation.

When offices with greater time demands and higher pay are combined with day jobs, citizens trust politicians less.
