| dc.description.abstract | This report introduces the BritPAP dataset on parachuted deputies in the United Kingdom. By doing so, it examines the broad trends that structure the sociological characteristics of non-local members of parliament, defined as those born in a region different from their constituency between 1945 and 2020. After demonstrating that parachuting is a common practice at the House of Commons, we show that it began to decrease slowly, starting in the early 1990s. Parachuting is primarily a matter of middle-aged men and statewide parties, as region-wide formations include a very low proportion of non-local members of parliament. We also posit that parachute mps typically begin their career through general elections and in available (but not always safe) constituencies. Non-local mps eventually tend to move to the South and adjacent regions according to their party affiliation, where they usually win an average of three elections. | |
