I'm leaving Twitter/X – and moving my posts here required a new account. Follow @ivobantel.bsky.social for an eclectic mix of own (nonacademic) analyses, polisci/polisky retweets & non-random thoughts, mostly about democracy, polarization & the Radical Right, EU politics, and some climate topics.

New book by @saengler.bsky.social on Centrist anti-establishment parties (think IT's M5S or CZ's ANO). It highlights these parties' immense success, survival strategies and concludes that, in the long run, ideology remains key! Looks amazing, looking forward to a fascinating read!

In Bavaria and Hessen, the AfD has been strongest among middle-aged voters. However, the party could make large gains among very young voters too, especially in Bavaria. Only people older than 70 still show relatively low support for the far-right. Among the oldest, the CDU and CSU still dominate.
