Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S147...

Wählen junge Männer immer weniger links? Nicht in Berlin: Noch nie haben bei einer Abgeordnetenhauswahl so viele Männer unter 25 eine Partei links der SPD (Linke oder Grüne) gewählt wie am Sonntag. Dennoch wird der Gender Gap grösser – weil junge Frauen in Berlin noch stärker nach links rücken.

Die Lehre aus M-V und S-A sollte sein, dass Kampagnen die versuchen reduktiv mit anti-AfD zu mobilisieren („Die Frau gegen Blau“ 🙄) eher das Gegenteil erreichen. Die Linke in Berlin hat sich zwar auch als die anti-AfD inszeniert, aber viel mehr auf eigene Themen gesetzt.

This Sunday, Die Linke could become Berlin’s strongest party for the first time. Importantly, its success in urban centers reflects a broader sociostructural transformation: from a party rooted in the support of production workers to one drawing disproportionate support from the new middle class.

So close and yet The far right's real weapon is the mainstream elite hyping it to distract from the crisis of democracy. It's not rising because it's popular or because immigration is a "legitimate concern", it's rising because it is being built as the only alternative by those currently in power
The Guardian view on the far right’s real weapon: it is the politics of powerlessness
Editorial

From Dover to Saxony-Anhalt, extremists thrive when voters believe established parties can no longer deliver security, prosperity or meaningful change

The explicit plan of many intellectuals on the German far right is not to attack the constitution head on, but to culturally redefine key concepts of democracy, pluralism and rights so that its ethno-nationalist agenda is viewed as common sense.
