Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Weer een heel sterk opgezet debat van de NOS. Het format met 6 rondes van 3 heeft veel thema's, toch voldoende rust, en een kans voor alle deelnemers. (Bijna) geen toeters en bellen en met een goede gespreksleider. Een sterke combinatie.

This is the final 'poll of polls' before the Dutch elections. Three parties at the same level, and two more not much smaller. Given the high percentage of late deciders and voters in doubt, the outcome is still very much uncertain. 🧵

De quickscan die je wist dat zou komen. Het is aan de journalistiek (debatleiders!) dit een thema voor de verkiezingen te maken.
Slechts drie partijen blijven volledig binnen de grenzen van de rechtsstaat: ‘Zorgwekkende ontwikkeling’
