Scholars have long paid attention to disproportionality between parties’ votes and seats emerging from the electoral system. In @sespjournal.bsky.social, Gianni Del Panta, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social, and I show that disproportionality can also be a by-product of pre-electoral coalition formation.🧵

1. Do we trust the UK (this government, but also the next) to come to the defence of Europe should the situation require it?

If we do, there is no need to involve them in EU plans, since we already have NATO that commits the UK to protect Europe.

82 naufraghi salvati: 11 donne, 26 minori, alcuni sotto i 2 anni

Porto assegnato: Ravenna, 900 miglia nautiche, 4 giorni di navigazione.

Piantedosi augura buona Pasqua, e nel mentre prolunga consapevolmente la sofferenza dei naufraghi, ritardando cure e assistenza.

Two MPs detained and deported by Israeli authorities for seeking information about Gaza is another clear sign of Israeli government weakness.

Attracting talent, offering safe spaces is good. If it goes hand in hand with extra resources for science / education.

If not, these plans will create extra competition in already precarious systems.

The fact is, many European countries cut on research spending.

Which policies do citizens prefer in economic crises? 💥

Leonardo Baccini, @mattiaguidi.bsky.social and Arlo Poletti show strong support for social spending & redistribution, but with an ideological divide: right-wing voters are far less likely to back welfare for foreigners. 👇

For anyone interested in replication, this is a really amazing thread. Bravo Laura and colleagues. You have set a new standard for honesty and transparency.
A thread about being wrong:

5 years ago, we wrote a paper about how how newly enfranchised 16-year-olds vote in Austria. But we were wrong.

This year, @elisabethgraf.bsky.social, @schnizzl.bsky.social, Sylvia Kritzinger and I are setting the record straight: authors.elsevier.com/c/1juT5xRaZk...

Mio problema principale finora su Bluesky: sono entrato quando il grosso della bolla erano accademici, e ancora la mia bolla è troppo piena di accademici. Se anche provo a farmi suggerire post, l'algoritmo risente di questo.
P.S. Non è "colpa" di Bluesky, ovviamente.

In questo momento la cosa affascinante di questo social è come le "community" si stiano pian piano ricostruendo. Un processo di contagio sociale che porta quelli della tua cerchia di là a venire di qua in quanto i legami sono trainati dalla condivisione di certi ideali/gusti.

I am happy to share that my @bjpols.bsky.social paper with Elias Dinas is now OpenAccess, due to an agreement with the EUI.

Using an instrumental variable approach, we find little evidence that the number of parties affects the quality of democracy.

In recent years, Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, and Sudan have "normalized" relations with Israel. This shift in elite discourse and state behavior, however, is at odds with popular opinion in these countries and across the region.

🇬🇧/🇺🇸 For those of you who have received invitation codes, how long after you had joined Bluesky did you get them? And how many did you get? Thanks!
