The second-order election model and the European Parliament elections of June 2004 in Greece
Abstract
This article seeks to examine the 2004 European Election in Greece, with the help of the second-order election model. In the first part, we analyse the theoretical framework of minor elections and we refer to the characteristics and hypotheses of the model that was formulated by Reif and Schmitt in 1980, which is mainly used in the study of European Parliament elections. In the second part of the article, we examine the main theoretical axis of the model for the June 2004 election and show that the hypotheses about participation and the parties’ quotas are verified. Therefore, the 2004 European Election in Greece was a second-order election.
