Pas de majorité stable, et une représentation déformée du vote des Français. Il est temps de corriger le système. C’est le sens de notre initiative transpartisane sur la proportionnelle aux législatives avec @g-gouffiervalente.bsky.social @erwanbalanant.bsky.social & Marie Recalde 🗳️ ⬇️

Can France still be governed under its current electoral system? After almost two years of parliamentary fragmentation, the situation remains unsettled: huge frustration, no stable majority and a presidential election already casting its polarising shadow over parliamentary life.

Today! 👇🙂

Many thanks to the @mzesunimannheim.bsky.social for the invitation to present our new experiment with @elisadeisshelbig.bsky.social and @theresmatthiess.bsky.social next Tuesday! I really look forward to the discussion 👀 Please let me know if you are in Mannheim and would like to meet.

For months, Germany has been controversially debating the return of military conscription. But who actually supports it? And more importantly, why? Here are some insights based on a representative survey from last autumn. A thread 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Chères·chers collègues enseignant·es en français, pour un cours de 1ère année portant sur les systèmes politiques, je suis à la recherche d’un manuel en français. Est-ce que quelqu’un aurait la gentillesse de partager une suggestion ? Merci bcp ! @iguinaudeau.bsky.social @fredericmerand.bsky.social

🚨Job alert 🚨 I have an opening for a postdoc in my team at @ipz.bsky.social in the area of digital democracy starting Sep 1, 2026. If you are working on the impact of the digital transformation on politics, please apply by 🗓️ Mar 1, 2026. 📤 Please share widely! www.ipz.uzh.ch/de/ueber-uns...

Liebe Survey-Erfahrene in 🇩🇪, @elisadeisshelbig.bsky.social, @theresmatthiess.bsky.social und ich hätten Fragen an Euch 🤓 1) Gibt es Bedenken gegen die Erhebung von PLZ oder Gemeinde, um lokale soz.-ökon. Indikatoren zu mergen? 2) Kennt Ihr gute Datensätze auf PLZ-/Gemeindeebene? 🙏 🙏 🙏

Today in @theguardian.com, I argue that Donald Trump’s foreign-policy playbook is increasingly about attention capture, or what I call geopolitical clickbait. Plus I outline why this matters for Europe & what to do about it. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Over the past couple days I have seen so many accounts that *never* post anything political, speak out against ICE. I sincerely hope Dem leaders don’t let up. This momentum is everything.

An important point. A study of police in Chicago police between Jan. 2011 and Dec. 2015, “found that more than half of the officers received fewer than one complaint a year. By contrast, the worst 1 percent of officers generated about 25 percent of the complaints.” www.theroot.com/how-to-go-fr...

En France, tenir ses promesses électorales ne rapporte rien Avec @egrossman.bsky.social, on revient pour @france.theconversation.com sur ce résultat contre-intuitif et ce qu’il dit de la représentation & de la responsabilité des gouvernants de la Ve République 👇 theconversation.com/en-france-te...

The @financialtimes.com calls Trump's Board of Peace "a fledgling club of autocrats". A data-based view fully supports that:

Looking forward to discuss political trust in Berlin with @fhollande.bsky.social, Armin Laschet and @steffenmau.bsky.social next week!

📻 #DansLesMédias Invitée du journal de 12h30 sur @franceculture.fr hier : @iguinaudeau.bsky.social (associée au CEE) a notamment analysé les conséquences sur la confiance politique des promesses non tenues et de l'utilisation du 49.3. A écouter à partir de 12' ▶️ www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

L'occasion aussi de rediffuser (1) ce papier sur les modalités d'une “bonne” proportionnelle www.mediapart.fr/journal/poli...

L’occasion de rappeler l’énorme responsabilité de *tous* les partis ayant fait “front républicain” contre le RN, et dont une des seules tâches utiles et communes aurait dû être le passage à une véritable proportionnelle, afin de nous préserver d'une prime majoritaire à l'extrême droite.

#Danslesmédias 📰 Pour @egrossman.bsky.social et @iguinaudeau.bsky.social, l’adoption de la proportionnelle apparaît aujourd’hui comme une condition nécessaire pour redonner à la démocratie française la capacité de renouer avec des gouvernements représentatifs, stables et opérationnels. ⤵

Questions aux collègues du CNRS : Est-ce qu'entre-temps, le RIBAC 2025 est accessible ? Est-ce que vous avez reçu le mail traditionnel qui vous annonce que la campagne est ouverte ?

Who shares what on social media and why does it matter politically ? Fantastic paper on 🇫🇷 and a Great example of combination of methods 👇

Still confused about EPSA vs. EPSS? Which conference should you go to? Here is a link to clarify things: epssnet.org/uncategorize... TL;DR: "EPSA" community will be in Belfast. Same community, new organisation, bigger mission; slightly new name; and a very different foundation @epssnet.bsky.social

The Portuguese far right party CH has been growing spectacularly, shattering views of the country as immune to this phenomenon. This has prompted a discussion about where their votes come from. Some thoughts on this, prompted by newly released survey data:

Received a complimentary copy of “Foundations of European Politics” after commenting on new chapters. Such a good textbook: clear theory, empirical evidence, and free interactive data exercises. @catherinedevries.bsky.social @sarahobolt.bsky.social @sopro.bsky.social @jbslapin.bsky.social

‼️ There are a few more days left to apply for the PhD positions in my group at KU Leuven. Make sure to send in applications by July 4! 👇

I took a closer look at the program #EPSA2024 and found some interesting trends – there seem to be more US based scholars than last year 🇺🇸 @epsanet.bsky.social‬ A thread on this year's authors and affiliations 🧵

Very happy to be at the EPSA conference in Madrid and to ne about to meet so many colleagues on the programme - including the Paris folks I had missed while in Germany 😊

I love discovering academic traditions like this one in Göttingen — a handcart parade for new PhDs 😅 It was a real pleasure to read and discuss Robin Rentrop’s excellent thesis on how the youths' descriptive representation shapes their substantive representation in parliament.

Alors que la trentaine d'autrices et auteurs qui y ont contribué sont en train de corriger les épreuves de leurs chapitres, @bboudou.bsky.social et moi venons de recevoir la couverture de ce traité sobrement intitulé "Théorie Politique" - à paraître, si tout va bien, en septembre 2025!

📚😅🎉 Yay!! I just submitted the complete manuscript of my upcoming book to the publisher! Learn to easily and clearly interpret (almost) any stats model w/ R or Python. Simple ideas, consistent workflow, powerful tools, detailed case studies. Read it for free @ marginaleffects.com #RStats #PyData

Les promesses électorales n'engagent-elles que ceux qui les écoutent ? La délégation @cnrs-idf-villejuif.bsky.social m'a invitée à présenter mes recherches dans une petite vidéo 😊 Featuring @egrossman.bsky.social et @selmasarenkapa.bsky.social, et c'est par ici 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=M84O...

Ende letzter Woche gab es einige Einwände gegen diesen Post. Ich habe deshalb nochmals Befunde zu sozial- und wirtschaftspolitischen Einstellungen der AfD-Wählerschaft zusammengetragen. Ebenfalls habe ich zu diesem Thema Survey-Daten der GLES und des ALLBUS ausgewertet. Ein langer Thread.🧵

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

📢 The French Political Science Association would like to map initiatives to disseminate political science findings to a broader audience (podcasts, blogs, policy briefs...) 👀 Which ones would you recommend (in english, french or german)? (self-promotion very welcome, thanks!)
