Do policy preferences of voters and non-voters differ in European democracies? My new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social finds: Yes, sometimes, but this is not the norm. Let's break it down. 🧵 1/10

🆕 Latest article out @electoralstudies.bsky.social! Left parties' higher salience on cultural issues associated w/ higher support from working-class voters. Social democrats much more sensitive to different strategies, should pursue more left/salient economics www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Getting organized for the 2026 CES conference (deadline fast approaching); if you have a paper you're planning to present that is either on 1.) group appeals, or 2.) contemporary sources of social closure, lmk and we can see whether there's enough overlap for a shared panel submission! #polisky

I have a new article out on wage-earner funds, a famous attempt at economic democracy in Sweden in the 70s & 80s. It explores the funds' defeat, emphasising the issue's stronger resonance with businesses compared to workers & the Social Democratic Party journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Undecided which section to submit your paper to for the 2026 EPSS conference? Look here for short explainers by our stellar set of section chairs:

The populist right makes enormous gains (+12pp!) and the clear winner in a campaign dominated by economic issues and despite the immigration issue being almost absent. However they are unlikely to gain much political power from their new seats given the make-up of the incoming Parliament

It's now certain, but the rural-agrarian Centre Party, while suffering heavy losses, will be kingmakers in Parliament. Their leader underlines in his speech that no one can take them for granted - reminding Labour that the Centre party will require influence to not switch sides.
