More than a gimmick, they are an essential element in the promotion of a relationship between parliament and citizens.

“…The sample size continues the trend of studies of similar characteristics (Oni et al, 2016;Coleman, 2004;Setälä and Grönlund, 2006), in which there is the attempt to delve into every case analyzed. Although Steiner et al's (2004) study suggest limitations in the comparisons made in differentiated political systems, studies of Setälä and Grönlund (2006), Welp (2011), Oni et al (2016 and Bernardes and Bandeira (2016) demonstrate similar behaviors among the websites analyzed despite of the political system or the democratic tradition of studied countries.…”

“…The analysis uses the weighted presence (Bardin, 1986: 77) whereas presence or absence of specific elements of context units are measured. Previous studies (Oni et al, 2016;Bernardes and Bandeira, 2016), also use the coding supported in the presence or absence in analyzed websites. For every unit of analysis, the score received was of 0 or 1 point: one point for presence and no point for absence, in each one of the networks analyzed by representation chamber.…”
