#HotoffthePress: our new study which shows that voters reward representatives' transparency: @polisciunibas.bsky.social @dgw.philhist.unibas.ch @unibas.ch

@stefaniebailer.bsky.social, @nathaliegiger.bsky.social and I study citizens’ attitudes toward MPs’ side income disclosure in 7 European countries.

«In der Schweiz ist es häufig eine Blackbox, welche Gelder zu unseren gewählten Vertreter:innen fliessen», so Dr. Oliver Huwyler.

Die Studie von @ohuwyler.bsky.social , @stefaniebailer.bsky.social und @nathaliegiger.bsky.social zeigt klar: Transparenz wirkt – selbst bei hohen Nebeneinkünften. 👉🕵️‍♀️

Sexist harassment on online platforms discourages young women from getting involved in politics, as shown by a new study by @dahoehmann.bsky.social, Tomoko Latteier and @stefaniebailer.bsky.social. The consequences are not only borne by those directly affected, with democracy also being harmed.
