70,000 rated or chosen profiles from 14,000 respondents, in up to 5 tasks of 1 profile varying on 9 attributes.
| Description | YouGov respondents in France, Germany, Italy and the UK (early 2020, n = 14,000) each read five vignettes about an MP voting on a bill (one per policy area), with vote outcome, pivotality, MP gender, government/opposition party, tenure and rebellion against the party leadership randomized and bill-direction/public-opinion information varied by arm; outcomes are feeling represented, 'every MP should be like this MP' (1-7) and traits chosen after the last vignette. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): attr_bill_direction and attr_public_support are shown only in the information versions of Table 3 (trial_info_version); a shown bill direction was chosen to be aligned with or opposed to the respondent's stated preference (cov_pref_*), so it is not independent of the respondent; each respondent sees each attr_policy_issue exactly once (order randomized); level_weights 'uniform' refers to the six vignette-level attributes (vote, pivotality, gender, party, rebellion, tenure) per the article |
| Task order | recorded in the deposit |

Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.
