Interessant! Het klopt alvast dat de partijprogramma's van de oude VLD uit 1999 en de N-VA van vandaag dicht in elkaars buurt komen...

Third dissertation paper is out now in @govandopp.bsky.social! OA: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... It studies the ideological structure of European electorates – finding broad similarities between countries, despite that party electorates and social groups remain structured nationally

The thesis explores changes in Belgian voting behaviour 🇧🇪 It finds that demand-side cleavages have mostly remained stable, and don't differ much between Flanders and Francophone Belgium. You can read the whole thing here: kuleuven.limo.libis.be/discovery/se...

Interesting insights about the online diet of 🇧🇪 voters: - Greens aren't on Facebook - Far right isn't on Instagram - But both are still on X 👉 @lucaskins.bsky.social and Caroline Close in @sampolmaandblad.bsky.social: www.sampol.be/2024/12/onli...

Ever wondered why Flanders and Wallonia vote so differently? 🇧🇪🗳️ In my second PhD chapter – out now in EPSR – we look at cleavage structures in both regions Very (!) happy to see this published: cambridge.org/core/journal...
