What an amazing special issue about the Portuguese elections since 2002! Incredible line-up and terrific articles. Great stuff from @sespjournal.bsky.social, special thanks to the special issue's editors @marinacostalobo.bsky.social and Ana Espírito-Santo! www.tandfonline.com/toc/fses20/3...

I think @vdeminstitute.bsky.social is doing absolutely terrific work. But classifying Portugal 🇵🇹 as an 'Electoral Democracy' (ED), rather than liberal democracy, and putting it on the watchlist of countries 'very close to becoming autocratizers', frankly, makes no sense.

💡NEW STUDY FINDS…💡 Affective #polarisation in #Portugal has not been increasing but it has become more closely associated with turnout and voting behaviour Read the article by @fredericofs.bsky.social here 👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A polarização afetiva em Portugal tem vindo a aumentar ao longo das últimas décadas? E qual é a sua relação com o comportamento eleitoral dos portugueses? Tento responder a estas questões usando dados do estudo pós-eleitoral português entre 2002-2024. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

O Estudo Eleitoral Português 2025, coordenado por mim, com o @fredericofs.bsky.social e a Ana Espírito Santo está aí. Este fim de semana o @jornalexpresso.bsky.social noticiou. O relatório está acessível no site do @ics-ulisboa.bsky.social aqui www.ics.ulisboa.pt/noticia/inqu... Segue fio:1/7
