“…These methods are designed to uncover ideology at the individual level, yet, they are commonly used to analyze the ideology of political parties through aggregation of politician's ideology scores by party affiliation. This is the case of ideology studies of the European (Hix 2002) and Canadian Parliaments (Godbout and Høyland 2011); Argentina's (Alemán et al 2018), Mexico's (Knight 2018) and Brazil's Chamber of Deputies (Bernabel 2015), and of the Brazilian Senate (McDonnell 2017). However, these methods' application to multiparty systems is limited because of the reliance of roll-call data, which is not always available.…”

Political ideology is a major social phenomena that plays a crucial role in the formation and dynamics of ideologically-aligned social groups. This alignment gives rise to some of the most powerful social structures in modern democracies, the political parties. Due to the influence and importance of political parties in society, estimating their ideology is an active topic in political science research. However ideology is a very subjective phenomena and existing quantitative methods for ideology estimation are susceptible to a variety estimation issues, specially when applied in multi-partisan systems. In this work, we developed a data-driven network model for political ideology estimation based on partisan relationships established from party-switching politicians. The model is applied to the Brazilian case and yields results consistent with existing literature in the Brazilian political scenario while addressing data scarcity issues in existing methodologies.
