Reposted by Giorgio MaletLeonardo Carella @leonardocarella.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Something bugs me about Italian opinion polls. There's not enough variance: FdI has been at 27-and-a-bit in 12 of the last 13 polls. My suspicion was herding, so I went down a statistical rabbit hole, which involved inventing a new measure of herding (which may have picked up a different issue!). 🧵 56217

Giorgio Malet @giorgiomalet.bsky.social · 21/10/2025This stability masks a geographic realignment 🌍 Regions closer to Russia’s border became more supportive of common EU defence and foreign policies, and of enlargement.
