Ah, the classics.

In an ongoing project, we ask which countries citizens prefer as benchmarks for policy decisions. Pilot data from the UK show that Denmark is ranked as one of the most preferred reference countries, particularly in relation to migration policy.

When more people in Sweden can name the Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York than the Prime Minister of neighbouring Finland…maybe — just maybe — there’s a little too much coverage of US politics in Europe.

Interesting interview with Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA-3), whose district will be redrawn after the passage of Prop. 50. While he is quite critical of Republican leadership in the house he is VERY careful not to directly criticize Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/p...

Swedish daily newspapers are weighing in on the New York mayoral election for some reason. SvD: Mamdani is a nightmare for New York, a candidate who has a romance for revolution. DN: The smiling Mamdani challenges the left's own myths.

Seeing lots of comments and sounds plausible. But is there any research on the toxic impact on policymakers of spending much time on Twitter?

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Since I have made this post I have gathered a bunch of observational studies with null results since then. Here is a quick thread:

Is social media dying? How much has Twitter changed as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation? Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has transformed. Here are the key take-aways 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2510.25417

🧵1/6 New paper out in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social with @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social and Peter Hedström! We identify a social-influence mechanism that widens individuals' behavioral repertoires and breaks the link between individuals' initial preferences and the collective outcomes they bring about.

Big congratulations to @zethis.bsky.social, whose doctoral thesis has now been published! Outstanding work. And it is almost as thick as Tolstoy's War and Peace...
