West European Politics @wepsocial.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
🧩 Do voters dislike parties that mix left and right positions? In ten countries, @rdassonneville.bsky.social, Patrick Fournier & @zeynsom.bsky.social find voters know less about such parties and like them less, in part because of the inconsistency itself. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0140...
Description of the article "Voters' perceptions of ideologically inconsistent parties" by Ruth Dassonneville, Patrick Fournier and Zeynep Somer-Topcu, published online first in West European Politics.
Figure 2. Line chart of predicted party like/dislike ratings by how ideologically inconsistent a respondent perceives a party to be, with a histogram of observations underneath. Ratings fall markedly as perceived inconsistency rises.
Figure 3. Line chart of the effect of expert-rated ideological inconsistency on party like/dislike ratings, by how accurately a respondent perceives the party's positions, with a histogram of observations underneath. The effect is negative for respondents who place parties accurately, shrinks towards zero as their perceptions grow less accurate, and turns positive when they are far off.

New with @jacobgunderson.bsky.social , in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social (open access): "Positional Blurring in Context." Europe's populist parties typically blur their economic platforms but stay sharp on cultural issues. Does that hold everywhere? 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S153...

AfD’s huge gains in Saxony-Anhalt are the latest in a series of far-right electoral gains across Europe, while mainstream parties are struggling. 2027 brings major elections in 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸🇵🇱 Europe is heading towards a political stress test. How does this matter for the EU’s ability to act? 🧵 1/10

At chesdata.eu, we had a minor update to the 1999-2024 trend file to correct the 2024 seat share variable (it was raw seats instead of share), so V2 is out now. Also, we added a new graph to CHES interactive chesdata.shinyapps.io/Shiny-CHES/ that lets users look at change over time in a country!

The @chesdata.bsky.social dataset is one of the most comprehensive sources on party ideology and positioning. It offers valuable insights into the evolution of political parties from 1999 (the first wave) to the present.

The 2024 CHES survey is well on its way to finalizing, and we hope to release it soon after closing the survey. In a preliminary look of western Europe, notice the continued presence of the inverted U of EU support and left-right.
