This important paper generalises to Europe what was theorized and shown in the Netherlands over a decade ago by @catherinedevries.bsky.social, @hakhverdian.bsky.social and @bramlancee.bsky.social. Left-right self-placements are becoming more associated with immigration attitudes over time in Europe

We wrote a blog post about our recent paper in @polbehavior.bsky.social, where we discuss whether political participation is associated with better policy representation #polisky

Why does mainstream accommodation of far-right and Eurosceptic parties often electorally backfire? In my 3rd dissertation paper, just published in @wepsocial.bsky.social, I argue that voters specifically punish internally divided parties for accommodation: doi.org/10.1080/0140... 1/13 🧵

Happy to see our study out! Our main takeaway is that while poor voters vote less often, are less ideologically aligned with their preferred party, and see their preferred party less often in government - voting still does not seem to explain unequal representation.

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026. 😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA. 👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things. A short 🧵

Great to see this finally out! It's an interesting paper because we examine whether unequal representation is caused by how low- and high-income people vote (for example ideological voting). Our findings goes against this idea, meaning that unequal representation must be caused by something else!

New working paper! How do protesters' demographics and policy preferences affect politicians' responsiveness to their demands? I find no effects of shared demographics btw. protesters and politicians, but asymmetric responsiveness to left-right policy preferences: gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/...

What is the core difference between ‘left’ and ‘right’ in politics? New paper out in @ActaPolitica where I show that acceptance of inequality separates left- and right-wing individuals in both Eastern and Western Europe, contrary to previous research. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Polisky

Eastern Europe is no exception: acceptance of inequality and left–right politics - Acta Politica
Many scholars suggest that the left–right dimension can be simplified to a conflict over how much inequality should be accepted in society. Yet, studies on Eastern Europe indicate that acceptance of i...
