I am delighted to find my paper cited in one of the most important recent judgments of the Supreme Court of India. The court struck down #ElectoralBonds relying, in part, on the party-centred conception of representation in India (as I argue in this paper). 1/2
Happy to see that we were cited on the international practice question in the electoral bonds judgment. 😅
Chapter V of the report also lays out the international practice, and this may be interesting for anyone who wants to figure out where we should be headed from here, and how far we still are from a working system for the regulation of political parties and finance.
