Útil, num momento em que cada vez mais se fala de outros partidos europeus em Portugal.

For my course on Conflict and Representation in the EU, I made an interactive Shiny app that plots CHES party positions, for all countries, years (1999-2024) and (most) dimensions in the dataset. Enjoy!

Really interesting thread on how social media has become the main channel for communicating science around the world.

Sondagem. Pela primeira vez, Gouveia e Melo não lidera. Marques Mendes à frente, Ventura logo atrás.

O ex-almirante passa para terceiro, atrás de Ventura e de Marques Mendes mas dentro da margem de erro de 4%. Ventura perderia contra todos os três da frente numa segunda volta.

All this and more on the link above, and many thanks to the wonderful @bonniefield.bsky.social for all her support in the publication process. 5/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · 14d

Voting expectations were confirmed: a lower turnout compared to the leg election, and a lower combined vote share for the larger parties. However, this difference in vote share was exclusively driven by Chega, which lost 8.3 per cent points with EU attitudes indeed played a role in this outcome. 4/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · 14d

Yet, we found no evidence that the news coverage of the 2024 EP election became more ‘European’. Despite not having a single MEP, Chega and its leader, André Ventura, received more media attention than other parties represented in the EP. 3/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · 14d

In PT, this election was special for two reasons: held just three months after the legislative elections, and with extreme right Chega as the third main party with 50 seats in national parliament we expected an increase of the salience of EU-related issues due to less elite consensus on Europe. 2/5

Rest in power, Francisco Pinto Balsemão.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 16d

Francisco Pinto Balsemão, who as prime minister helped guide Portugal’s new democracy after years of dictatorship — and who was later head of the country’s largest private media group, Impresa — died on Tuesday. He was 88.

Francisco Pinto Balsemão, 88, Dies; Portuguese Prime Minister and Press Champion

In the wake of a revolution, he helped found a leading political party and tried to conciliate warring left and right factions, although his success was limited.

A Mariana Mortágua faz uma leitura lúcida dos resultados e suas consequências ao contrário de outros q insistem em agarrar-se aos lugares mesmo dp de mais de uma dezena de mortos. Mas n é ela a principal responsável pela trajectória do BE. Há o contexto, e há a irresponsabilidade do BE desde 2022.

Não sou votante BE mas é com pena que vejo as campanhas agressivas da direita a terem os seus frutos. As mulheres assertivas são logo apelidadas de radicais e vítimas de campanhas de ódio impressionantes.
Admiro a coragem da Mariana e a sua integridade.

Two truths about Dutch politics a few days ahead of elections

1. 5 parties poll bw. 10 and 20%: green-left, left lib, right lib, Chr dem, far right. The entire spectrum.

2. Far right and far right-leaning parties (notably the right libs) have close to 50%. Crazy, esp. if you keep point 1 in mind.

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · 20d

Balsemão foi um dos grandes protagonistas da história democrática portuguesa. Na sic e nos outros canais agora mesmo é nítido o sentimento de orfandade generalizado. Pelos valores do jornalismo e da política que Balsemão representava. E que todos percebemos que é, infelizmente, o mundo de ontem.

This is what the Dutch ballot looks like for the legislative elections on October 29. 😍

First you vote for one of the 26 parties that compete and then you give a preferential vote for the candidate of that party (lists of candidates by party is on other sheets). ✍️

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · 23d

Voto preferencial. Na maioria dos países europeus, os cidadãos escolhem não só partidos mas tb exprimem preferência sobre a lista dos candidatos.
