The role of the elected representative

What is the role of the politician and who are suitable to fill that role? Except for voting, what more can we do as citizens to ensure that we get able, skilled, and compassionate politicians? In this episode of Aspects of Democracy, Daniel Bladh, PhD student in education and adult learning, talks about elected representatives based on his research on political party schooling and learning in politics.

The thesis mentioned in the episode - Didactical choices in the political party democracy – was presented on September 29th and can be found here.
