Party membership
Party membership and parties' role in representative democracy is in transistion. At the aggregate level the number of members is declining but a number of individual parties are experiencing increasing membership figures. Who are the members? Why do they enroll? What do they do? Why do they participate? What are their political opinions? What do they think of intra-party democracy? Why are some of them on the way out of their party? These are some of the questions responded to in the FSE funded survey based project on Danish party membership.
