The annual CGD conference is underway! Our theme this year is: Democracy and its Perils. A group of brilliant researchers is turning its back to the London sunshine to discuss democratic backsliding, the global rise of authoritarianism, and the political impact of populist communication. #CGD2026

Andrej Zaslove and I wrote down our thoughts on the recent Dutch election results, noting the continuing relevance of the far right and the hollowing of the (liberal) centre. 👇 @qmul-sse-cgd.bsky.social @qmulsse.bsky.social
