The CHES is a survey of national party experts to place parties on political dimensions. It is generally considered the gold standard of comparative party research.

The 2024 CHES survey is well on its way to finalizing, and we hope to release it soon after closing the survey. In a preliminary look of western Europe, notice the continued presence of the inverted U of EU support and left-right.
