How Group Appeals Shape Group–Party Linkages in Two Political Systems | The Journal of Politics To attract voters, politicians can appeal to their interests and attitudes through policies. They can also appeal to their identities by supplying candidates that belong to their social group or by se...

The Age of Academic Slop is Upon Us what happens when AI automates "normal science"?

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

Listefeil i Finnmark skapte kaos i Ap – kunne veltet valget Arbeiderpartiet får stille til høstens stortingsvalg i Finnmark. Så vidt.

Artig sak: www.vg.no/nyheter/i/bm...
Dette har Ap strevet med før; i 1995 leverte Flå Ap lista for sent og fikk ikke delta i kommunevalget i Flå. I en artikkel publisert i @psrm.bsky.social studerer jeg effektene av dette på lokale budsjettprioriteringer: doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

Sammen med en stor gruppe forskere har vi i dag publisert den nye boka om lokalvalgene 2023. En herlig mulighet for alle som elsker å nerde med politikk, valg og lokaldemokrati til å dykke ned i detaljene. Boka er Open Access og tilgjengelig for alle! cdforskning.no/cdf/catalog/...

Har NRK publisert dokumentasjon på hvordan Valgomaten regner ut prosenter for hvert parti?

Vurderer skattelette for 100.000 tilfeldige: – Skattelotteri, svarer kritikere Regjeringen vurderer en forsøksordning med skattefradrag for unge mellom 20 og 35 år. Det kan gi skattefordeler for 100.000 tilfeldig utvalgte.

Dette er verken absurd eller useriøst. Dette er måten å unngå å ta politiske beslutninger i blinde. Modig og riktig. www.aftenposten.no/norge/politi...
