“…According to Franc¸ois, cumul may reduce risks stemming from the precariousness of political careers (Franc¸ois, 2003); it can increase politicians' income and power, and provide the necessary financial resources for future electoral campaigns (Franc¸ois, 2006). It may also help incumbents be re-elected (Nevers, 1991;Foucault, 2006). But there are at least two major constraints.…”

Furthermore, local government units (communes) command a greater ability to raise their own financesome 37% of local government finance in France comprises transfers from central government, compared to 44% in Britain (Nevers, 1991).

Norris a Westminsterben megjelenő képviseleti felfogások elemzése kapcsán kiemeli, hogy a választókerületi fókusz történelmi sajátossága a politikai képviseletnek, hiszen a kijárás intézménye, a helyi érdekek képviselőinek a hatalmi központokba való delegálása már a középkorban is a brit politikai élet jellemzője (Norris, 1997b:29 (Norris, 1997b:31-35 (Ilonszki, 2009:170-171).…”
