 2     Common good justifications (best estimate)     Best estimate of the extent to which political elites justify their views with the common good for society, either the greatest good for the greatest number of people or as helping the least advantaged people in society when considering important policy changes. Question: Question: When important policy changes are being considered, to what extent do political elites justify their positions in terms of the common good? Clarification: Because discourse varies greatly from person to person, base your answer on the style that is most typical of prominent national political leaders. Responses: 0: Little or no justification in terms of the common good is usually offered. 1: Specific business, geographic, group, party, or constituency interests are for the most part offered as justifications. 2: Justifications are for the most part a mix of specific interests and the common good and it is impossible to say which justification is more common than the other. 3: Justifications are based on a mixture of references to constituency/party/group interests and on appeals to the common good. 4: Justifications are for the most part almost always based on explicit statements of the common good for society, understood either as the greatest good for the greatest number or as helping the least advantaged in a society.

 We expand the years covered by V-Dem further: To expand the time coverage of today's countries and include more of the period when they were still non-sovereign territories, we identified the historical entity they were a part of and used that regime's data whenever available For example, V-Dem only provides regime data since Bangladesh's independence in 1971. There is, however, regime data for Pakistan and the colony of India, both of which the current territory of Bangladesh was a part. We, therefore, use the regime data of Pakistan for Bangladesh from 1947 to 1970, and the regime data of India from 1789 to 1946. We did so for all countries with a past or current population of more than one million.       float
