Parliamentary entry on the national level is a crucial achievement for any new party. But its repercussions are not necessarily beneficial. This article assesses the electoral consequences of parliamentary breakthrough by theorizing factors that shape (a) a new party organization’s capacity to cope with pressures generated by parliamentary entry and (b) the relative intensity of the new functional pressures a new party is exposed to after breakthrough. To test our hypotheses derived from these two rationales, we apply multilevel analyses to a new data set covering 135 organizationally new parties that entered national parliament across 17 advanced democracies over nearly five decades (1968–2015). Our findings stress the importance of party organizational characteristics (party origin, time for party building and leadership continuity) for parties’ capacity to sustain electoral support after breakthrough. In contrast, the intensity of functional pressures as generated by government participation immediately after breakthrough does not have significant effects on parties’ performance at the follow-up election.

Die latente Gefahr terroristischer Anschlage in Deutschland und in anderen europaischen Staaten, die offentlichen Debatten m zusatzliche und verscharfte Sicherheitsmasnahmen sowie der Skandal um Abhormasnahmen der Geheimdienste befreundeter Lander haben Fragen der Abwagung von Freiheit und Sicherheit in Politik, Medien und Offentlichkeit zu einem wiederkehrenden und intensiv diskutierten Thema gemacht. Diese Entwicklungen sollten nicht ohne Wirkung auf die Aufmerksamkeit, die Meinungen und die Einstellungen der Burgerinnen und Burger im Kontext von Burgerrechten und innerer wie auserer Sicherheit sein. Dieser Band setzt sich mit diesem Aspekt der Debatte aus verschiedenen Perspektiven auseinander.

Die Koalitionssituation ist bei den letzten Bundestagswahlen komplexer geworden, zudem konnte die vor der Wahl beliebteste Koalition (Schwarz-Gelb) aufgrund des Ausscheidens der FDP aus dem Bundestag nicht realisiert werden. Der Beitrag untersucht daher drei Fragestellungen: Erstens, hatten Koalitionspraferenzen Einfluss auf Wahlentscheidungen bei der Bundestagswahl 2013? Zweitens, wurden auf Basis einer Praferenz fur Schwarz-Gelb Leihstimmen an die FDP vergeben und standen strategische Motive dahinter? Drittens, zu welchen Koalitionen wechselten die Personen, die vor der Wahl Schwarz-Gelb praferierten, und wie kann dieser Wechsel erklart werden? Diese Fragen werden auf Basis der Daten der Rolling Cross-Section-Wahlkampfstudie mit Nachwahl-Panelwelle der German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) untersucht.

This article examines one widespread but widely overlooked informal party practice to access state resources indirectly: the ‘taxing’ of MP salaries, which obliges candidates who win elected office on a party ticket to regularly donate a fixed share of their private income to party coffers. Linking Duverger’s classical approach on party organization that stresses the importance of party–society relations with the more recent, highly influential cartel party theory that argues that parties are shaped by their relationship with the state, we specify factors that shape the acceptability of this informal practice and thus parties’ capacity to extract rent from their MPs. The analysis of an original dataset covering parties across a wide range of advanced democracies reveals that demanding salary transfers from national MPs to their parties are not only more common in leftist parties as argued by Duverger but also in systems in which the penetration of the state apparatus by political parties is intense as argued by the cartel party approach. Linking the two perspectives further reveals that ideological differences between parties shape their relative capacity to collect higher payments from MPs in systems where parties and the state are less intertwined.
