On Saturday, I'll present the paper “Movement Parties and Parliamentary Speech in Chile, Spain, and Mexico”, co-authored with @eborbath.bsky.social and @janschwalbach.bsky.social ; 2pm, East Meeting Level, East 3.

…but don't worry about your parliamentary text input during this time: already tomorrow, @lukashetzer.bsky.social and @chrauh.bsky.social will be giving an introduction to our new #parllawspeech dataset at @comptext.bsky.social \3

For the first time in 10 years, no #parlspeech / #parllawspeech / #parl_projectos_nuevos_speech scraper will be running on my laptop for 6 months… \2

We look at the different challenges and needs of researchers when sharing this kind of data. We cover the areas of researchers' capacities & incentives, legal & ethical challenges, and technical challenges. Furthermore, we outline potential ways forward and point to some existing solutions.

Congrats Jihed!! Very happy for you. Hope you celebrate a lot 🍾🎉

Furthermore, the results show a consistently significant positive effect of trust in the respective communication channel on the perceived credibility of a party message. 7/7

While there is also a positive effect of the in-coalition party on the perception of credibility, it is lower compared to the in-group party. Hence, not every party that does not correspond to a voter’s intended vote choice is automatically an out-group party. 6/7

Regarding the agreement with a statement, the information that it was made by an in-coalition party can have the same positive effect as with an in-group party in perception (if the statement does not contradict the position of the in-group party). 5/7

While there is also a positive effect of the in-coalition party on the perception of credibility, it is lower compared to the in-group party. Hence, not every party that does not correspond to a voter’s intended vote choice is automatically an out-group party. 6/7

Using the survey answers on voting intention and government preference, I find that the effect of the sender on the perception of statements in multiparty systems is more complex than the well-known contrasts between in-group and out-group parties in two-party systems. 4/7
