Why I don't expect liberal democracy to go away any time soon: My article on the resilience of liberal democracy, published in @jeppjournal.bsky.social. Perfectly timed to the day after Orbáns defeat and a small spike in "democracy-optimism". There are, I argue, good reasons for such optimism.

So viel hätte man hervorheben können: Sozialdemokraten beenden Abwärtstrend, Grüne mit Verlusten, die Mitte zieht an der FDP vorbei, das rechte Lager verliert absolute Mehrheit im Nationalrat! Warum der Fokus auf den "Rechtsruck"? Und das ohne Einordnung: die SVP ist NICHT so stark wie noch 2015.

Parlamentswahl: Schweiz rückt weiter nach rechts
Die rechtskonservative SVP ist in der Schweiz seit vielen Jahren stärkste Kraft, bei der Parlamentswahl konnte sie nun zulegen - auf 28,6 Prozent. Ein Debakel gab es für das grüne Lager.
