- The present study is focusing on system factors related to the input side of the democratic system, i.e. the electoral dimension, as well as factors related to the out - put side, i.e . the quali ty of gover n- ment. Hence, we will investigate to what extent different election system characteristics as well as degrees of policy representation (in terms of ideological congruence between voters and represent a- tives) and the presence of effective, profess ional and impartial governmental institutions are related to citizens’ satisfaction with the way democracy works. We use data from CSES ( www.cses.org ) on individual voters and party system characteristics together with data on governmental institutions from the QoG - institute (www.qog.pol.gu.se). Overall our results indicate that factors like gover n- ment effectiveness is of greater importance for citizens ́ satisfaction with the way democracy fun c- tions, compared to factors like ideological congruence on the input side. Impartial and effective bureaucracies matter more than representational devices.
