    We implement an module in the European Election Survey to assess Europe wide variation in willingness to engage on policy formation. As part of the survey, implemented in 27 countries, respondents had the opportunity to support petitions on either side of migration and environmental issues. Our strategy allows us to examine inequalities in political engagement within and across European polities as well as the mobilizing power of different issues.
