Political representation has been widely studied from a theoretical perspective, but empirical research has been scarce, mainly due to the lack of suitable data. This article analyzes the results of a survey administered in 1997 both to Spanish MPs & to citizens, inquiring about different aspects of political representation. We concentrate on analyzing how the role of representatives is conceived both by citizens & by MPs, as well as the perception of the role of political parties in the process of representation. The final section looks at the levels of satisfaction of citizens & MPs with the way political representation takes place in Spain. 3 Tables, 15 Figures. Adapted from the source document.
