Gentle reminder that the #AfD guy who wanted to be minister-president of the LΓ€nd but wasn't actually on the ballot and spent the final phase of the campaign across the pond kissing MAGA backsides is π’ππ΄π° one of the most pro-Russian voices in the party (and never sued the BBC over the 'asset' claim)

Yes, Iran is run by βreligious fanatic lunaticsβ but thereβs no need to pretend the US isnβtβ¦

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/womenβs health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame
It's ten years to the day since Gianni Infantino was elected FIFA President.
He has turned FIFA from merely a bad actor into a profoundly dangerous one.
A rogue President of a dysfunctional organisation.
A classic Panera rant Iβd sayβ¦
My second just-published paper in our special issue compares Pirate π΄ββ οΈ and Green π parties (against other party types) across first- and second-order elections (EP). Using updated data from my dissertation, I find no comparative advantage in EPE for π΄ββ οΈ, but some for π

π¨Excited to see my two new publications in a special issue on π΄ββ οΈ parties, co-edited with VladimΓr Naxera, now out in Comparative European Politics. The first is the SI introduction (with VladimΓr) and a reflection on two decades of π΄ββ οΈ politics in Europe. This was fun!

This version is almost as famous as the original π. Itβs great!
Thanks! That may not be the case for all of the articles in the SI π but it should still provide an interesting collection of contributions tackling the topic from multiple perspectives.

New research with Lawrence Ezrow and Werner Krause in @wepsocial.bsky.social
We show that more extreme governments are more likely to deliver policy solely to their supporters
For the first time ever I cancelled a trip (visited almost 60 countries in the last 20+ years) for moral and safety reasons. You can guess which country. It hurts (a close friendβs wedding and a place always close to my heart), but no one should travel there recreationally and normalize that regime.
Yeah, unfortunately it does

A tragedy. Two million casulties.
A war now lasting almost as long as World War I.
A Putin led war, enabled by too many other leaders.

Top-notch research from top-notch researchers
Thanks! The idea is to signal a somewhat unexpected dilemma for RLPs regarding Israel, a puzzle to be explored, rather than to suggest antisemitism within the radical left. In this sense, it concerns the perceived risk of being accused of antisemitism, not actual antisemitic positions within the RL.
