(1/5) My article Disintegration and Party Competition is out in the latest issue of @jeppjournal.bsky.social ! I ask how parties in other member states reacted to #Brexit. Do #Eurosceptic challengers frame it as an example to follow? Or do they instead row back on ‘hard’ demands to #leave the EU?

And now we get to watch as potentially epoch changing events occur. There's a very 19th Century feel about the sight of the US and Russia discussing European borders. Though rather than Vienna or Berlin, modern day statecraft apparently happens in Saudi. 5/5

French government uses paragraph 49.3 to pass a law without a vote for the 19th time since May 2022. Nobody cares anymore, and it’s barely reported in the media. Crazy how much Macron has damaged French democracy. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...
