在欧洲议会选举中，政党是否回应选民对欧洲一体化的偏好？在这篇文章中，我们认为，政党确实对选民的欧洲怀疑态度作出反应，但政党类型条件的反应。特别是，我们认为，较大的政党更敏感，而执政党对总体欧洲怀疑论的反应较低。为了检验我们的理论预期，我们使用了欧洲宣言项目和欧洲选举研究的数据，从1989年到2009年，来自26个欧盟成员国的252个政党。我们的研究结果对理解欧盟的民主代表制和欧洲议会选举的二阶性质具有重要意义。
Do parties respond to voters’ preferences on European integration in elections to the European Parliament? In this article, we argue that political parties do respond to voters’ Euroskeptic attitudes, but that party type conditions responsiveness. In particular, we posit that larger parties are more responsive and that governing parties are less responsive to aggregate Euroskepticism. To test our theoretical expectations, we use data from the Euromanifestos Project and European Election Study from 1989 to 2009 for 252 parties across 26 European Union Member States. Our findings have important implications for understanding democratic representation in the European Union and the second-order nature of elections to the European Parliament.
