Just published in @bjpols.bsky.social: @sergipardos.bsky.social and I show that inter-regional moves in pursuit of employment security reduce individual worries about immigration—a mobility pattern that, in the aggregate, reinforces spatial polarization in anti-immigration sentiment. cup.org/3XiB6yD

What a great and necessary paper: "This article contends that this ‘polarisation narrative’ simplifies complex issues through a bad analogy: the construction of a spectrum where good should be found in the middle of diametrically opposed political positions."

Onder welke democratieopvatting doet een coalitie met 75 zetels meer "recht aan de verkiezingsuitslag" dan een coalitie met 86 zetels?
Een centrumrechtse coalitie met Ja21 lijkt de meest gewenste voorkeur

Verkenner Wouter Koolmees kan snel klaar zijn met deze snuffelronde in de formatie. Er tekent zich een duidelijke voorkeur af voor een centrumrechts kabinet met D66, CDA, VVD en Ja21.

How the Netherlands engineered its asylum crisis — and turned it into a business
The Dutch asylum system has been in crisis mode for years. An international investigation by Dutch investigative journalism collective Spit, together with Altreconomia in Italy, scrutinised the enormous amounts of public funds in Europe disappearing into asylum reception and detention. Who benefits from the cash flow generated by the asylum crisis?
