Abstract
En este trabajo partimos de una evidencia empírica resultado de varios estudios realizados por el autor; los Internautas españoles se auto-posicionan ideológicamente más a la izquierda que la población general. A partir de esta evidencia, planteamos dos cuestiones. En primer lugar, qué causa esta circunstancia y, en segundo lugar, qué efectos puede tener este hecho sobre las prácticas de democracia digital. Para responder a estas cuestiones procedemos de la siguiente forma. Primero, presentaremos un breve estado de la cuestión sobre la democracia digital y sus implicaciones sobre las prácticas democráticas. Segundo, analizaremos el posicionamiento ideológico de los Internautas y lo compararemos con la población general. Tercero, a través de diversas pruebas estadísticas, mostraremos las razones por las que se produce dicha sobre-representación de los Internautas de izquierda. Por último, tomando como referente el debate teórico y la evidencia empírica, especularemos sobre los efectos de esta circunstancia.
In this paper we start with a result of several empirical studies conducted by the author, the Spanish Internet self-ideological positions significantly more left than the general population. From this evidence, we raise two issues. First, what causes this and, secondly, what effect this may have been on the practice of digital democracy. To answer these questions, proceed as follows. First, we present a brief state of the question of digital democracy and its implications for democratic practices. Second, we analyze the ideological positioning to the internet and compare it to the general population. Third, through various statistical tests show the reasons for which that over-representation of the internet users left. Finally, taking as reference the theoretical debate and empirical evidence, speculate about the effects of this.
