政党历来是公民在国家中获得代表权的关键手段，政党能够参与、整合、聚合、冲突管理和联系。近年来，政党的代表资格有所下降，新的组织作为代表手段出现。然而，尚不清楚这些新组织在多大程度上承担了传统上政党所履行的代表职能。在本文中，我们以 Citizens UK 和 38 Degrees 作为指示性示例，论证虽然可以找到参与和整合的机会，但聚合、冲突管理和联系等方面已不再执行。在诊断这一变化时，我们认为这些代表性的转变正在对公民如何与当代政治建立联系和参与产生重大但尚未被认识到的影响。
Political parties have historically provided a key means by which citizens gain representation in the state, with parties enabling participation, integration, aggregation, conflict management, and linkage. Over recent years, parties' representative credentials have declined and new organisations have emerged as vehicles of representation. What is, however, unclear is the extent to which these new organisations have taken on the representative functions parties are traditionally seen to have performed. In this article, we examine Citizens UK and 38 Degrees as indicative examples to argue that, while opportunities for participation and integration can be found, aspects of aggregation, conflict management and linkage are no longer being performed. Diagnosing this change, we argue that these shifts in representation are having significant but as yet unrecognised consequences for how citizens relate to and engage with contemporary politics.
