Question for the #polsci bubble: Are there any models on party cohesion and party splitting, which might tell us something about the near future of the German conservative party CDU/CSU, with their upcoming decision about how to deal with the AfD?

Do citizens care who makes policy? In Germany, some policies can be adopted either by federal or state governments. But do voters have preferences over which actor adopts a policy? Turns out, they mostly do not. New paper out @epsrjournal.bsky.social 🧵 1/8 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
