Article Synopsis
- A unified framework is established to analyze election data using opinion models from statistical physics and stochastic dynamics, linking these models to political theory.
- The study explores the relationship between Potts models, stochastic opinions, and how variations like the q-voter and Zealot models help understand electoral behaviors in four democracies.
- Findings reveal that weak effects models, especially the reinforcement model, best explain electoral outcomes, highlighting the influence of institutional structures on opinion formation and demonstrating the value of interdisciplinary methods in examining democracy.
