Ten years ago, Nicholas Barr @lse-ei.bsky.social wrote a blog on why he would be voting Remain that was so popular it crashed the LSE server. Revisiting his arguments a decade later, he argues Brexit has had a profound negative impact that was entirely foreseeable. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Polling suggests most UK voters think Brexit was a mistake, but what prospect is there of Britain rejoining the EU? Iain Begg lists eight reasons why the UK rejoining the EU is highly unlikely to happen in his lifetime. ✍ Iain Begg | @lse-ei.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

One of the great ironies of Brexit is that it has underlined Britain and Europe’s interdependence. ✍ Vera Spyrakou @lse-ei.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Was Brexit, in Donald Tusk's words, the real end of the British Empire? ✍ @simonglend.bsky.social @lse-ei.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

AI anti-corruption systems are now being used across Europe. But they can only catch corruption if a human acts on what is flagged. The question now is not whether these systems work, but whether politicians will allow them to work. ✍ Mark Esposito & Bruno S. Sergi blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

"Animal rights are built on the idea that certain types of harmful activities are unacceptable, no matter how much good they might do for humans.

I just wrote a piece for @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social about Orbán's defeat by Peter Magyar. The piece argues that this was not a defeat of populism, as much commentary has it, but quite the opposite—a victory that was possible because of populism. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Péter Magyar's defeat of Viktor Orbán has been portrayed as a victory for liberal democracy over populism. But the triumph of Magyar’s Tisza party was driven by its own form of democratic populism. ✍ @benjamindecleen.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Viktor Orbán’s defeat has deprived illiberalism of one of its central figures. Now the world will be watching to see if Péter Magyar can establish the constraints on executive power that were so conspicuously absent during the Orbán era. ✍ @zsolt.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

"Radev’s victory does not necessarily mean one awkward partner in Brussels has been replaced by another. Radev has pro-Moscow leanings, but he is unlikely to become Putin’s puppet in Brussels." ✍️ Emilia Zankina, Kevin Deegan-Krause & Tim Haughton blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...
