- Abstract
Political parties dominates candidate nomination in the Danish representative democracy, and recruitment mainly takes place within party organizations. The first step on the ladder of recruitment, that is, getting a membership card, is to a larger extent taken by men, older, longer educated, higher income. They place themselves more to the extreme on the left-right dimension, and they have a higher degree of political interest and efficacy. A fifth of the party members indicate that they are willing to stand for election if encouraged by their party. Among members, men are more likely to be a potential candidate. However, education and income does not matter, and younger members are more likely. This applies that the representativeness is not skewed to a larger extent on all parameters. Potential candidates disagree more with their party, and have a larger degree of political interest and efficacy.
