Our principal investigator, @dralbertazziuk.bsky.social, spoke to the Financial Times about the troubles affecting the League in Italy.

I very much doubt this a "widening rift", as l do not expect more than 3 or 4 MPs to follow Vannacci. Leaving an organised political machine to join a personal party led by someone who has no experience of life in the institutions, campaigning etc & has just performed poorly in regional elections...

Good to see our Principal Investigator, @dralbertazziuk.bsky.social, speak to Politico on the appropriation of Christmas traditions by the radical right in Europe

We are still on the road to discuss the book written by the Populism in Action team...

Read it online - it's open access!

🌳 Thrilled to launch The PopulisTree — a new website covering decades of populism in Europe (both national and European elections) using a new taxonomy and dataset.

Our Populism in Action team of researchers will be there, of course...

There are now 2 Leagues, & they won't live peacefully side by side for much longer.

One wants more powers (including of taxation) for northern regions. It is the old guard of the party, such as former Governor of Veneto region Zaia. It has achieved an impressive result in Veneto regional elections

This goes straight to the top of the pile this weekend... The normalisation of radical right, and even extreme right positions among young voters in Germany (and beyond) is such a key topic right now...

The book is "open access" - free to read and download for everyone.
