From the latest Czech polling on core electorates: ANO, a populist party with no ideological core, is the only party with an actual core electorate. Traditional Center-right combines for just 5.5% and the left is completely gone. The hollowing-out of Europe’s mainstream, in miniature.

Turnout looking like it will be historic in today's elections 🇩🇪 The question is what higher turnout will do to the results, not self evident that older lessons about turnout will hold up.

Our article is now available Open Access! We hope our typology is useful to study national teams (in all sports) and to further reflect on globalization effects on modern football. The 2026 MAGA World Cup sees a further decline in "ethnic" national teams and a sharp rise in "diaspora" teams.
