Subnational party organisations stick to the issue ownership of their national parties (we expand the data by @henrikseeberg.bsky.social to the subnational level).

For example, Greens devote more attention to the issue "agriculture, environment, energy, climate" than other parties in 🇦🇹 & 🇩🇪.

Some thoughts and pointers on the upcoming German elections on Sunday. Nearly all polling institutes have released final polls in the last days that show a very similar picture. It is nearly certain that the CDU/CSU will come out on top and Friedrich Merz is going to be the next Chancellor. 1/

Our article “Which Information Do Politicians Pay Attention To? Evidence from a Field Experiment and Interviews” (w/ @henrikseeberg.bsky.social ) is part of the latest @bjpols.bsky.social issue.

Thanks for the kind words, Hugo.

Indeed very exciting to see this paper on youth wing influence in political parties online at Journal of Politics.

First output from the 4-year YOUTHPOL project on the same topic. Much more to come..
"Do Politicians Listen to Youth Wings?" by @henrikseeberg.bsky.social is one of the recent works I’ve most enjoyed reading, and it’s now available at @thejop.bsky.social!

We all know the amazing work of Weber and De Sio on ‘Issue Yield’. But few use it concretely beyond the appealing logic of bridge issue to cater to core & potential voters. I provide a simpler & more applicable way forward on this logic by using a split in issue ownership to select campaign issue👇🏼
Parties emphasize issues on which they have ownership to mobilize core voters and appeal to potential voters.

..But who do parties actually target via their issue ownership?

In an new WP (link below), I split issue ownership into 'issue core' & 'issue potential' and show that..

Recent research questions political parties' issue ownership & its use to understand parties, voters & elections because a person's issue ownership choice correlates with his party preference..

Vores nye studie (sammen med @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social og @henrikseeberg.bsky.social i @thejop.bsky.social) viser, at kandidater, der tabte kommunalvalget 2021, var mere bekymrede for valgets retfærdighed. #dkpol #dkmedier

The super election year is ending, with many winners and losers.

Our new @thejop.bsky.social paper, (@henrikseeberg.bsky.social, @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social ) asks: How do winning and losing candidates see elections?

Spoiler: Losers are more concerned about fairness.

Thanks Wilma 🐶 for sharing our latest research! I owe you 🦴
#WilmasReview of the week: Sometimes, Wilma 🐶 is disappointed about the Danish weather. However, she is never disappointed about the pastry

This is also her practical implication based on her colleagues' study. @rsenninger.bsky.social
