New paper out in the EJSP! 🎉 We look at how the UK Covid-Sceptic movement framed the pandemic as elite control over 'the people', and offer a new view of populism as a social representational system used to mobilise against an 'elite'. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Research conducted in EU countries showed that, historically, housing supply does not predict housing affordability. What predicts a housing affordability crisis is the rapid expansion of buyers’ financing capacity. @alankohler.bsky.social #AusPol #Housing #TaxReform thegoodlobby.eu/the-eus-hous...

“During the mid-2000s Ireland & Spain experienced the biggest construction booms in Europe yet they simultaneously saw house prices soar by roughly 300% …the Dutch central bank concluded house prices are more closely linked to the financing capacity of buyers than to shortages in the housing market”

1/4 • “Proportional Approval Voting” blends two democratic ideas together: broad voter choice and fair representation. Instead of forcing people to choose only one candidate, voters can approve of as many candidates as they support.

Proportional Representation (PR) is used in many countries to prevent duopolies and cartel parties, and to ensure parliaments accurately reflect how voters voted. #AusPol #auspol26 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpBR...

Populist radical right parties are often said to predominantly attract poor 'losers of globalization', and to benefit from economic crisis. However, when studying populist voting patterns longitudinally it becomes clear this is a (very pervasive) myth. #Populism #TheWealthParadox
