Lotteries did not open up access to newcomers in Belgium. Their design and interaction with government-opposition dynamics is crucial to help deliberation obtain positive collective action in legislative settings.

This finding dovetails what @alicirone.bsky.social & I found for the Danish constituent assembly, where lotteries were less influential than fledgling parties in roll-call voting. Here, we contributed the Belgian case to a comparative pattern that the ERC-StG POLLOT is building. More results soon!

Instead, there is more evidence for intra-party coordination: Meeting more incumbents decreased rebellion among new legislators, but made incumbents slightly more rebellious against the party majority.

Belgium used lotteries to randomly subdivide legislators to pre-deliberate legislation in small committees. We study the period around the first entry of a third, Socialist party. Meeting Socialist legislators had tiny effects on roll-call voting but in the wrong direction.
