The Spanish centre-right is taking a tumble and the far-right is on the rise.
I was lucky enough to present some new causal work on Friday at LSE showing that the PP does better when it signals distinctiveness from VOX.
~1.5K tests, same result. Rejecting far-right benefits centre-right

Scholars & pundits have focussed a lot on the electoral demise of center left, but in doing so we paid to little attention to the electoral problems of the center right.
Case-in-points here not only British conservatives or center right in France, but increasingly also the center right in Spain.

1. We do not know the motive of the shooter. The man who shot at Trump was after attention.
2. The man who murdered MN legislators WAS motivated by politics, and I didn’t hear any Dems calling for reprisals against all Repubs.
3. It’s easy to start a cycle of violence. Not easy to end one.

One sign of democratic backsliding that sometimes goes unnoticed is the decline in statistical transparency. Autocratic regimes degrade the state's ability and willingness to produce and disseminate reliable public data.
The Trump GOP just quietly gutted real inflation tracking in May 2025—right before their tariffs kicked in. Now they’re just guessing the numbers. When prices spike, they can just fudge the data. It’s not policy—it’s propaganda. This is how authoritarians cook the books.📉🔥 #TrumpTariffs #GOPLies
