Why does mainstream accommodation of far-right and Eurosceptic parties often electorally backfire? In my 3rd dissertation paper, just published in @wepsocial.bsky.social, I argue that voters specifically punish internally divided parties for accommodation: doi.org/10.1080/0140...

I know I'm a bit late to the party but this piece, and the responses to it, are essential reading for everybody trying to figure out how to build a viable electoral strategy to defeat Trump. Spoiler: ideological moderation to try and satisfy the median voter is unlikely to do the trick!
