Great graphs of party positions based on Chapel Hill Expert Survey. @medzihorsky.bsky.social makes great data visualizations. Follow him for more.
Notice how little variation the Hungarian parties show on left-right dimension on economy. Apparently it's not all about the economy.

Right (CU, NSC, VVD, CDA, 50+, BBB, SGP) would gain 3

The Netherlands will join an increasingly long list of West European countries (CH, FR, IT, SE) where the radical right has overtaken the mainstream right as the main party of the right. A watershed moment for liberal democracies.

Still testing if it works but there’s now an IPE/CPE feed for folks who are in polisky already! It’s ipesky or cpesky or cipesky. First time I do any of this so I’m very open to suggestions (starting from the feed’s avatar!). Please help advertising it!

![two small anthropomorphized data samples (looking like mischievous kids) run in opposite directions away from their parent "population". One of the samples says "OK, what about NOW???" with [p = 0.02] above their head. The population, looking exasperated and with one hand grabbing their head, says "(sigh)...YES. I'm STILL sure I birthed BOTH of you."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4wwhwq5yy6btl4omycw66gfd/bafkreihm7flfdbaljzvaj2bscdiqtt6fmbcwx2n6tc3ufzbyqvp53rj5ra@jpeg)
