For the purposes of this ar...
The following chapter seeks to examine changes that parties experiencing electoral defeats make to their programmes.

The purpose of the chapter is to examine the links between election results and the (dis)continuity of party leadership. We check whether the fact of suffering a defeat is enough to push a party towards a swift leadership change. Moreover, we look for relations between variables that would link electoral defeat with leadership change. Neither the p...
An electoral defeat usually marks a significant turning point in the life of political parties. It is often the beginning of the changes taking place within them (Harmel, Janda 1994; Gauja 2016: p. 50–51). Existing research suggest that the desire to improve the electoral outcome is the main argument for reform within political parties (Janda 1990;...

Examining 73 parties in 28 countries, considering party efforts to change t...
