I repeatedly see polsci experts claim that a democracy requires a strong pro-democracy centre-right party and posts like these make me wonder wether such a party is, at least in the near term, even possible.

Refusing to work with Israeli academics means refusing to work with one of the main sources of dissent within Israeli society. To be sure, their views are not uniform, but that is a reason to avoid broad based bans,

That's exactly it. Bunch of overpaid, bussed-in middle class polsci opinion-havers, when what this country needs is engaged representatives from communities who are passionate about making people's lives better.

They've got so few of those left, I think you could count them on one hand.

For my course on Conflict and Representation in the EU, I made an interactive Shiny app that plots CHES party positions, for all countries, years (1999-2024) and (most) dimensions in the dataset. Enjoy!

The pundits on X the Everything app and on here are still arguing about a report by this guy who clearly does not know what he's talking about, which you knew having just the faintest idea of European politics and PolSci basics.

Matt Goodwin has talked nothing but rot on this show. I hope #bbcqt has learned a lesson: bring on people who actually have an area of expertise instead of a polemicist polsci "chinny reckoner".

Top half: Three koalas huddled together, in a tight group. The word "COALITION" is superimposed over them in large, yellow text. Bottom half: A group of opossums, also huddled together, but in a looser and slightly more chaotic arrangement. The word "OPPOSITION" is superimposed over them in large, yellow text.

Apart from everything else, #PolSci research suggests that this is not even a winning strategy - on the contrary. But what do I know? #GermanPolitics is of course totally different from how politics is done everywhere else, so why bother looking across borders?

Merz is known for occasionally blasting out polarizing statements. But this time, criticism is mounting — including from within.

Honoured to receive the 2025 Brian Barry Prize in Political Science. My essay reconstructs and evaluates state anxiety about civil disobedience, and reflects on how political philosophy can reflect and align with such anxiety.
