Ich habe mit der Magdeburger Volksstimme über eine doppelte Gefahr für die CDU nach der Landtagswahl gesprochen: "Mord" in blau-schwarzer Koalition oder "Selbstmord" in einer überdehnten Anti-AfD-Koalition mit Einigungszwang. Etwas Empirie im thread...

Great thread on our new paper 👇
@ankuepfer.bsky.social, @pluggedchris.bsky.social and I show how applause (and other reactions) in parliamentary debates can provide a new perspective on party competition - signaling unity, disagreement, and exclusion. 👏
👏Applause offers a revealing lens on party competition! In a recent article @wepsocial.bsky.social (w/@jocmuel.bsky.social+@pluggedchris.bsky.social), we study how applause reflects party and coalition unity, ideological agreement, political exclusion, issue ownership, and the electoral cycle!

Happy to see @ankuepfer.bsky.social's & my study on when politicians engage in discourse — and when they prefer to avoid it — featured at @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social!

When do politicians engage in discourse – and when do they avoid it?
Ideological polarisation shapes who debates whom in the German Bundestag, but substantive discourse may become less common in the years ahead.

The elections in Poland will raise doubts about semi-presidentialism, rightly so. But it is important to get the critique right. There is unfortunately a widespread belief in political science & comparative constitutional law that constitutional design does not matter for democratic backsliding. 1/
