Abstract

MPs from subnational parties (PANE) show a different social profile than those MPs from national parties elected for regional parliaments. They incorporate less women in parliaments, less internal migrants, older politicians, less workers and educators (but more owners and managers) and a similar proportion of lawyers. There are relevant differences among subnational parties the article analyzes thoroughly.
