9 years since the 9th JCMS @jcms-eu.bsky.social Annual Review of the EU I edited with Nat Copsey was published. Many of the articles written by our stellar contributors have stood the test of time and deserve (re-)reading 😉

It’s been on-line for over a year, but for an old fuddy duddy like me it’s always great to see an article assigned to an issue. Our deep dive into Robert #Fico’s return to power in #Slovakia has been published in the latest EEPS journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... @marekrybar.bsky.social

Who are the likely replacements? Without Burnham on that ballot what chances for the other parties? Lots of immediate punditry after Makerfield seems to have forgotten Gorton and Denton ….

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... @timbale.bsky.social for your store of potential Brit pol essay/exam questions: “Tony Blair was the best prime minister of the past 50 years, but has been the worst former prime minster”. Discuss.

Tony Blair tells Starmer and rivals: abandon net zero and move closer to Trump

In highly unusual intervention, ex-PM says his party’s ‘almost infinite capacity for self-delusion’ makes it likely to lose next election

Exactly. And that’s why it’s a great football song because most of the time our team fails, but we have to keep hoping that this time maybe, just maybe, it will be different.

Tim Haughton @timhaughton.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Although a lot of terms to unpack and a lot of moving parts. It would need a generous word limit. At least students couldn’t complain they didn’t have enough to write about!

But how many of our Brit Pol colleagues will start reading our work on messy multi-party competition😉? As someone who studies Central and Eastern Europe the current state of British party politics feels very familiar ….

What Rumen Radev’s victory means for Bulgaria, the EU and Russia

Rumen Radev has capitalised on anti-corruption sentiment to win power in Bulgaria, but it remains to be seen whether he can deliver on his promises in office.

"Radev’s victory does not necessarily mean one awkward partner in Brussels has been replaced by another. Radev has pro-Moscow leanings, but he is unlikely to become Putin’s puppet in Brussels." ✍️ Emilia Zankina, Kevin Deegan-Krause & Tim Haughton blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

I think I would share your expectation. This is what Radev said to international journalists.

#Hungary’s elections are just around the corner. A reminder that if you want a briefing on Hungarian 🇭🇺 politics have a listen to the insights from two of the best scholars of the country’s politics: Zsolt Enyedi and Emilia Palonen newbooksnetwork.com/populism-pol...

I discuss several themes inc: a/ Scholars of campaigning have much to learn from looking beyond the usual cases (US, UK etc.) b/ digital tools can be effective, but are at their most effective when combined with old fashioned tools c/ despite obsessions with studying modes, key remains the message.
