@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social!

Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan:

The civil liberties committee's ability to cross-examine senior government officials and launch inquiries into politically sensitive topics have helped propel its status. But it also now has the ex-head of Frontex, turned far-right MEP, among its members.
