🇪🇺 Do populist MEPs walk their anti-corruption talk? @nuriafontb.bsky.social & @cristinaarescc.bsky.social: populist MEPs ask more ethics questions in opposition but not once their party governs. Mainstream MEPs barely move in comparison. Anti-elitism cools fast in office. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0140...
First page of "Populism in the EU and the trade-off between ethical claiming and mainstreaming" by Nuria Font and Cristina Ares, published online first in West European Politics.
Horizontal bar chart titled "Ethical questions, by actors targeted and categories (%)". The article reports that ethical questions about EU targets are dominated by conflicts of interest, while questions about national and international targets are dominated by corruption.
Two-panel point-and-CI plot titled "Marginal effects of national government on ethical questioning, by populism: EU-level targets". The article reports that populist MEPs ask about 1.2 EU-targeted ethics questions when their party is in opposition but only about 0.1 once their party governs; mainstream MEPs (left panel) ask comparatively few in either condition.

The gender gap in radical right support isn’t about women versus men, it’s about sexism. Do not miss this great piece of @evaanduiza.bsky.social @gricoc.bsky.social. The insights go well beyond Spain.

Interesting new study showing that sexism, rather than gender per se, explains gender differences in voting for the radical right in Spain.* (* although gender, again, is correlated with sexism)
