Reposted by Silvia Porciuleanu
Increasingly, politics in West Europe is a mirror of East Europe, with a large radical right party against a rag-tag of centrist/liberal, centre-left, green and radical left parties and a rapidly declining centre right. The challenge is to coordinate the progressive opposition to the radical right.
Scholars & pundits have focussed a lot on the electoral demise of center left, but in doing so we paid to little attention to the electoral problems of the center right.

Case-in-points here not only British conservatives or center right in France, but increasingly also the center right in Spain.

Trying to be productive during the flight delay to Madrid and update the socials.

I’ll be presenting my paper on perspectives on “the West” in party communication at #EPSA2025 on Saturday at 11 a.m.
