  • Drawing from several chapters contained in Canadian Democracy from the Ground Up:

    Perceptions and Performance, in this article Elisabeth Gidengil and Heather Bastedo examine citizens� evaluations of their elected representatives and assess several key aspects of MPs� performance in light of these evaluations. Noting some possible reasons for a disjuncture between citizens� perceptions of MPs and how MPs perform their representational roles, the authors suggest some possible avenues for improving MPs� public image.
