Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Comparative politics researchers have almost universally relied on electoral system to measure whether a politician’s primary principal is the party or constituents. However, as Carey and Shugart (1995) point out, electoral rules alone can be deceptive. Adding an understanding of who controls nomination procedures to the more easily available information on electoral system is essential for understanding a politician’s full incentive structure._x000d__x000d_I use this important addition to re-evaluate the sprawling literature on party loyalty, including party discipline and party switching. Existing literature finds inconsistent effects of electoral system on party loyalty. By examining the interaction of electoral system and nomination rules faced by different classes of politicians in 10 countries with mixed-member electoral systems, I find that party-accountable politicians are indeed more loyal than constituent-accountable politicians. In the end, I argue that who controls the nominations process is ultimately more important in determining politicians’ incentives to be loyal to a party than the formal structure of the electoral system.
