Do Personalizing Electoral Reforms Have Any Effects? 9: Personalization and Election Results 10: Personalization and Democratic Renewal: Anything More than Talk? 11: ConclusionReviewsThe key contribution of Faces on the Ballot is to really give us a good sense of how electoral systems have changed in European countries in the post-war period. I think what it shows very clearly which many of us hadnt realised before is how systems have moved towards a more personalised system and away from a more party-based system. Professor Justin Fisher (Brunel University) I think there are at least two key contributions of this book. The first is simply as a huge exercise in data gathering and in meticulous documentation of often very subtle, nuanced changes in electoral systems, from which we can start to see a pattern emerging. It has created a huge data resource for future scholars to use. I think the other is showing there has been this tendency towards greater personalisation of electoral system, trying to see the causes of that, and also looking for evidence of the consequences.
