Research from the institute accompanying the, shows that more than half of federal deputies (51.8%) considers that parties represent “little or nothing” the interests of society. No, perception is more positive, with 71.4% evaluating subtitles as “very” or “reasonably” representative.
The survey was conducted July 8 and 16 with 138 parliamentarians (110 deputies and 28 senators) and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
Another data measured by the survey is that more than one third of the interviewed parliamentarians admit to having already been forced to change the vote by party guidance – 42.9% in the Senate and 38.2% in the House.
In addition, 29% of deputies and senators said they intend or consider changing parties to this legislature.
The study also inquired parliamentarians about the existence of independent candidacies, without party bond, today vetoed by the law. In the Senate, 46.5% support the idea, 25.1% only for majority positions and 21.4% for all positions. In the House, 41.8% are favorable.
Nevertheless, only one third believes that separate candidacies would bring greater political renewal. For most, the impact would be limited.
Most parliamentarians do not believe that separate candidates would contribute to political renewal: 46.4% in the House and 53.6% in the Senate.
“Independent candidacy is still a little -known and debated theme among parliamentarians. It is impressive to find that few people have a sense of what it means, even though it is a practice allowed in 90% of the world’s countries, while in Brazil it is not yet,” said Luan Sperandio, director of operations of politicians and research coordinator.
