Abstract

Abstract As UK political parties gear up for a likely general election in 2024, they are busy selecting the most suitable candidates for each seat. Psephologists say voters prefer their parliamentarians to be “local”, not “parachuted” in – but what does the data teach us? Rob Gandy and Scott Foster catch the Speaker's eye
