I smell some social desirability bias. Also, who acknowledges their (overly wordy) spell checker?

That escalated quickly #AcademicChatter

Looks legit

"It may sound insane"

Partisanship is, and remains, one helluva drug, but that's only part of the story

Ian Budge is always right. Not sure if English devolution would help, though 👇

#videoabstract How the #AfD and their voters veered to the #radicalright / #farright

Short, sober account of the French malaise 🇫🇷👇

Yep, that's true: publication to award in less than a day. Top that if you can #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter

Impressive investigation, but the whole plot seems unnecessarily complicated

This fantastic story has more plot twists than your average thriller and makes for excellent weekend reading

'Violence has never been a distortion in American politics. It has been one of its recurring features, not an aberration but a persistent force, destructive and yet oddly creative'

How much does public opinion still matter at this point?

Two fantastic days of the annual conference of the #AKWahlen are now behind us. Many thanks for the many excellent presentations, the friendly atmosphere, and to the local Berlin team for the fabulous organisation on site! ❤️ Watch out for the special issue in @electoralstudies.bsky.social!

Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs. So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

If we included this question in a European survey, people would think we had lost our marbles

Short and to the point 👇🏼

This is an excellent article (co-written by @sabrinajmayer.bsky.social) about a very unusual group of #farright voters

For the first time, a national TV network has aired a news commentary show using deepfake technology to "interview" two current heads of state.

Is Deep Research deep? Is it research?

Re-upping this for the winter term #AcademicChatter

I'm getting my 15 pages of fame. Awkward. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/2474736X.2025.2549079

Years ago, investigative journalists documented that the #AfD parliamentary party employed over a hundred staffers with ties to well-known right-wing extremist organisations. Only now are some of them having their parliamentary accreditation withdrawn #Germany #farright

I'm looking for someone UK-based with web-scraping skills who can scrape a substantial amount of data for me from the French parliamentary website in exchange for a fixed (negotiable) one-off fee.  French language skills are not essential as full instructions will be provided. 1/2

Social media bots: often annoying, sometimes useful. In this open access research note in @prxjournal.bsky.social, I tell the origin story of @rrresrobot.bsky.social (which you absolutely want to follow) 👀. The 🤖 exists to showcase research on the #farright by posting six times per day, every day.

The US right is doing everything they warned a left-wing government would do

Hey, I found a time capsule

Peter Mandelson was always a high-risk appointment – his departure will not end the matter for Keir Starmer

🌍✨ Today is World Democracy Day – a reminder that democracy must be nurtured and renewed. Our research on Promoting Democratic Citizenship Online shows that short, animated videos can strengthen democratic values across very different contexts.

Every day on social media brings new proof (if you need it) that I'm capable of the most atrocious typos one could think of 🥺

SBNR is mostly BS #religion #america

Underappreciated NRW-local-election fact: Wagenknecht's shiny new left-conservative/authoritarian/nationalist/whatever breakaway party, which had poached some councillors from the Left last year, won less than 2% of the vote. In most municipalities, they had no candidates, because they have no base

And autumn is the new spring, or something along those lines #farright #radicalright
