We examine how legislators’ preferences and voter support mediate leaders’ enforcement of discipline under open list PR, which encourages a personal vote. We develop a model in which, conditional on MP preferences, disloyalty depends on MPs personal vote and leaders’ resources for enforcing discipline. We use data from Poland’s parliament to test the model’s implications and find that legislators who contribute more votes are less loyal, but this depends on their preferences diverging from the party leadership. Our results explain how the relationship between OLPR and party loyalty is conditional and dependent on the party system’s context.
