year = {2020},
note = {Before an election takes place, the party members select their
parliamentary candidates . Their nomination decisions depend on their
vision of an ideal candidate . Based on the IParl survey of party
members participating in the candidate selection for the 2017 German
Bundestag elections we are able to investigate these preferences . As
we see, there is neither a common ideal among all participants, nor
are there any distinctly different groups . Differentiating between
district and state level these variations are less distinct than
between the different parties . We could also show that competitors
seem to perceive demands from their electors at least partially
different . Presumably those aspirants who are better at anticipating
their electors’ complex preferences might have better chances in the
intra-party nomination process .},
