Abstract

The pattern of political competition in Latvia has been notably stable. A majority of right-of-centre parties represent the interests of ethnic Latvians and faces a minority of left-of-centre parties claiming to advocate the interests of East Slavic minorities. However, actors in this pattern have changed notably. Every parliamentary election since the restoration of independence has generated at least one new party represented in the Latvian parliament, with the turnover of members of parliament oscillating between 25 per cent and 60 per cent.

Initially, the regional candidates were expected to have a clear affiliation with the local branch that nominated them (such as a residence or work in the locality where the regional branch operated). However, the requirement of affiliation was subsequently dropped for practical considerations, as representatives of more distant localities found it difficult to attend weekly meetings of the national executive.
