Pol-sci scholar at the University of Valencia. Previously at ULB, University of Antwerp, Luiss University, EUI and others. I research democracy, democratic backsliding, parties, populism, and radical right/left voting—through the lens of public opinion.
Survey of 5,000 Italians: people’s preferences for who should govern mirror European patterns 🌍. Preference for experts is linked to left-wing votes, not right-wing 🧠 . Preference for empowering citizens is not consistently linked to support for populist parties 🗳️
💡NEW STUDY FINDS…💡
