Fredrik will ask Lotta to get a source about party distribution for the unicameral period

fredrik1984 commented 2 weeks ago

We should only do a party distribution test for the time when there were "real" parties in the parliament (ca 1900–)

fredrik1984 commented 1 week ago

For the unicameral period, Lotta suggested that we use election statistics from Statistics Sweden:

From the link above, we can get party distribution data from 1973 and onwards.

For the relevant bicameral period (1912–1969), we use Stjernquist 1996 (p. 123).

Sure. I can probably fix this for the unicamwral period.
