Should be read together with this excellent new political sociological account of the rise of far-right parties in light of the transformation of the cleavage structure in Western Europe.

These pictures will be remembered for centuries. Future generations will ask: "Who did what, and when? Who made this abomination possible? Who spoke out - and who remained silent?" Make sure you have good answers.

Fascinating piece on the meaning and use of “gaslighting” “political gaslighting, unlike propaganda, is not meant to convince or change behaviour, but to overwhelm and disorient people by making them ‘much less likely to act (express criticism, resist)’”.

Why are working class people under-represented in legislatures? We propose one potential mechanism: working-class individuals are *perceived* as less likely to achieve political success, and are subsequently 'pragmatically' discriminated against. We provide an experiment in the UK to test it:
