Show PostThis shows that the effect of AP on governance preferences is not straightforward (also we do not find that high levels of AP lead to lower support for liberal democracy, but see also @lisajanssen.bsky.social and @turkenburgemma.bsky.social work on this), but largely depends on the supply side. 4/4
Show PostWhile non-populist voters with high levels of AP are more likely to support technocracy as a way to implement "the best solution", voters of the populist radical right are more likely to support direct democracy which is presented by populist parties as a way to implement "the general will". 3/4
Show PostWe argue (and show empirically) that AP increases anti-pluralist attitudes, which translates into support for less pluralist forms of governance. Which type of governance people prefer, however, is largely driven by the supply side. 2/4
