[more ▼] A common assertion is that online forums are not representative of the general public opinion but would reflect the behaviour and opinions of frustrated and extremist citizens. The objective of this paper is to empirically test this assertion by looking at the online debates about the referendum on the question of whether resident foreigners should under certain conditions (that will be specified) be allowed to vote for the national elections in Luxembourg. In order to measure the opinions emerging from the online forums, the author has gathered the comments of a selection of the most read and active campaign forums (more than 50 comments) and has coded them to determine if they are in favour or against the extension of voting right to foreigners. The representativeness of the online forms is evaluated by comparing these results with, on the one hand, the referendum outcome and, on the other hand, the data of a representative post-referendum survey that compares the opinions of people who were active in the online forum with the ones of passive users (reader but no posting) and non-users.

[more ▼] The report was commissioned by the Chamber of Deputies for preparing the campaign around the constitutional referendum that was held in June 2015. It has two objectives. The first is to assess the citizens’ opinion and awareness on the four referendum issues. The evaluation was made on the basis of four citizen consultations composed by a representative panel of citizens resident in Luxembourg. In addition of providing an overview of the state of citizens’ knowledge and opinions (and their evolution), the analysis allows to assess how participants perceive the consultation process itself. The second objective is to present and discuss concrete proposals to include citizen’s in the constitutional reform and in the referendum campaign. This last part is based on the teachings of the consultation carried out in Luxembourg as well as three case studies where people were fully involved in the constitutional reform process: the case of Iceland, Ireland and the State of Oregon (USA).

[more ▼] The year 2015 was a paradoxical one for Luxembourg. Its first half saw the government carrying its task of ‘nation branding’, trying to change its image (of tax haven and socially conservative policies) with a step toward a greater separation between church and state, several potential constitutional reforms aimed at a more inclusive democracy, and more indirectly through Prime Minister Bettel, who married his male companion less than a year after the adoption of gay marriage in the Grand-Duchy. Popular resentment regarding the exclusion of the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) from government still loomed large, and partially explained the disastrous defeat of a consultative referendum for the tripartite coalition.

[more ▼] L’analyse des élections est en soi un enjeu du débat politique tant de la part de ses acteurs principaux, les partis politiques, que des médias et/ou des électeurs eux-mêmes. Les Législatives d’octobre 2013 et, dans une moindre mesure, les Européennes de mai 2014 n’échappent pas à cette règle. Elles sont d’autant plus « discutées » en raison : Des conditions de convocation du scrutin, la fin de la coalition chrétienne sociale/socialiste avant son terme, a été une source de polarisation politique inhabituelle pour le Luxembourg, qui plus est, publicisée à l’échelle de toute l’UE ; De l’importance des acteurs non conventionnels et des groupes d’intérêts dans la définition du rythme et des thèmes de la campagne électorale d’octobre 2013 où les partis politiques ont semblé « perdre » une partie de leurs rôles dans la monopolisation de la représentation en politique; Des modalités et de la composition inédite d’un Gouvernement tripartite où le Parti chrétien social a été rejeté dans l’opposition « contre son gré » bien qu’il fut toujours la première formation politique du Luxembourg ; De la disjonction entre le scrutin national et européen pour la première fois depuis 1979 à six mois d’intervalles, donnant « potentiellement » l’occasion au corps électoral de sanctionner et/ou d’approuver le dénouement du premier scrutin tout en leur laissant éventuellement de se positionner plus « librement » en termes de politique européenne; L’étude électorale que nous avons menée dans le cadre de la Chaire de recherche en études parlementaires, dans une perspective historique et comparative, sur les comportements des Luxembourgeois de nationalité et des étrangers de résidence inscrits ou pas sur les listes électorales aux communales et aux européennes, est riche à la fois d’enseignements sociologiques et politologiques pour le moins inédits.

[more ▼] The year 2014 was characterised by the European elections and the difficult first steps of the three-party coalition headed by the Liberal Xavier Bettel. Some popular resentment for having excluded the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) from government, the poor election returns for the governing parties at the European elections, critiques regarding its governing methods as well as its first budget cuts, and growing tensions in view of the referendum planned for 2015, all contributed to give the new government a very short honeymoon period.

[more ▼] Alors que la littérature portant sur les SAV a tendance à se focaliser sur les SAV positionnant les utilisateurs par rapport aux partis politiques, cet article invite le lecteur à s’intéresser de plus prêts aux potentiels scientifiques des SAV « orientés candidats », c’est-à-dire des SAV toujours plus nombreux permettant aux électeurs de se positionner par rapport aux candidats. Il propose à cette fin un état de la littérature scientifique dans deux domaines. Premièrement, il s’intéresse à l’attrait que les SAV exercent sur les candidats et son influence sur la personnalisation de la campagne en analysant l’étendue de son adoption au moment de son introduction en Suisse et au Luxembourg. Deuxièmement il expose à travers des exemples concrets issus du SAV luxembourgeois (smartvote.lu) comment grâce à la collecte massive et détaillée des positions politique des candidats il est possible d’étudier une série de questions classiques relevant du choix électoral, de la représentation politique, de la cohésion intra-partisane ou encore de la responsabilité des élus par rapport à leurs promesses pré-électorales. Pour l’ensemble de ces questions, les SAV peuvent fournir aux politologues des données nouvelles qui ne peuvent être obtenues que très difficilement par les instruments de recherche classique. En particulier les SAV peuvent devenir des moyens complémentaires aux enquêtes post-électorales auprès des candidats qui souffrent généralement d’un taux de réponse relativement bas.

[more ▼] Comment l’Union européenne peut-elle parvenir à mieux informer et communiquer avec ses citoyens ? Quelles sont les initiatives participatives et délibératives qu’elle a promues à ces fins ? Peuvent-elles contribuer à atténuer sa crise de légitimité chronique ? Devraient-elles être institutionnalisées à l’intérieur du processus décisionnel européen? Et si oui, comment procéder ? Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage apporte des réponses concrètes, grâce à ses analyses – réalisées par des experts reconnus dans le domaine de la démocratie délibérative – des principales expériences participatives promues par l’Union européenne. En comparant les différentes tentatives d’accroître l’engagement des citoyens et en évaluant leur impact, cet ouvrage propose une contribution importante et originale sur le potentiel des innovations visant à renforcer la légitimité démocratique de l’Union européenne.
