dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the attitudes of young parliamentary candidates towards representative democracy, examining the potential moderating role of populism. Existing research points to declining youth trust in political institutions, but lacks understanding of how young prospective MPs, especially from populist parties, perceive representative democracy. Drawing from the Comparative Candidates Survey across 18 European countries, the study analyses three dimensions: satisfaction with democracy, evaluation of electoral processes, and support for direct democracy mechanisms. Findings reveal younger candidates express stronger preferences for direct democracy tools like referendums, but limited evidence of an age effect on satisfaction with democracy or perceptions of elections. However, a modest moderating effect of populism emerges–younger candidates from populist parties tend to exhibit greater dissatisfaction with how democracy functions compared to non-populist counterparts, though this dissatisfaction diminishes as they age. The study contributes insights into the complex interplay between generational differences, populist ideologies, and democratic legitimacy perceptions among prospective legislators, informing discussions on evolving youth political engagement.en
