- W2498859234 abstract "The choice of a majoritarian electoral system by the leaders of the Spanish Second Republic established in 1931 can explain the high and increasing levels of political polarization which eventually led to revolution, coup d’état and ultimately civil war. The provisional government of the Republic chose an electoral system with the aim of putting an end to the electoral domination that local bosses (‘caciques’) had been able to exert during the previous monarchy on the basis of a high number of single-member districts by plurality rule. The new government kept the majoritarian principle, but generalized now the system of multi-member districts with limited vote that had been used in a few districts during the monarchy. The new republican rulers relied upon the broad popular support that had obtained at local elections in April 1931 and expected to be the beneficiaries of the corresponding over-representation. But their institutional choice was based on a miscalculation regarding the likely electoral support of the republican parties in open competition with new candidacies supported by traditionally monarchical electors. The over-representation effect of the electoral system backfired: it produced oversized majorities for both the left republicans and the rightist monarchist parties at successive elections and in general very rapidly increasing political polarization which led to confrontation and violent conflict, culminating in civil war in 1936-39. In contrast, the following, much more successful, democratic experience in Spain, which started in 1977, has been based on elections by proportional representation." @default.
