New publication out in @epsrjournal.bsky.social! We know young voters vote for different parties and hold different attitudes than older citizens. What we know less about: whether they also care differently about political issues. Using novel experimental survey data, I show: they do! 👇

Ausserdem: Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte liegt die SPD bei einer Umfrage zur Bundestagswahl sowohl hinter den Grünen UND der Linken.

Grüne und Linke haben seit der Bundestagswahl zusammen so viel zugelegt wie die AfD. Es dreht sich aber alles um die AfD. Als wäre eh schon sicher, dass sie 2029 regiert. Das Narrativ des „Rechtsrucks“ suggeriert man müsse sich anpassen und könne gar nicht aktiv progressive Politik gestalten.

New article out with @poqjournal.bsky.social 🚨 Not Your Mama’s Ideology (But Close): Modest Generational Differences in Ideological Alignment in Postcommunist Europe Ph.D. candidate Matej Jungwirth ( @matejjung.bsky.social ) @lenkahrbkova.bsky.social & @celytadeas.bsky.social

This paper examines whether generational change in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is associated with shifts in how political attitudes align along the conventional economic–cultural left–right dimension. Because cohorts in the region were socialized under different political–economic systems, CEE provides a setting to assess whether younger generations display patterns of attitude alignment that differ from those of older cohorts. Using pooled European Social Survey data (2004–2023) and original surveys from Czechia, Hungary, and Lithuania, we combine an age–period–cohort analysis of left–right alignment with a network analysis of associations among thirteen salient issues. We find modest generational differences in the early 2000s, but these diminish over time, with all cohorts exhibiting similarly low levels of left–right alignment. Economic and cultural attitudes remain weakly connected, and EU- and foreign-policy issues often form separate clusters. The findings indicate that generational replacement has not produced a shift toward a more conventional left–right organization of belief systems in the region.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Was Umfragen nur schlecht aufzeigen können und auch Wählerstromanalysen nur selten schätzen, ist die Anzahl Wählender, die seit der letzten Wahl verstorben sind. 2021 wurde das in BaWü und 2018 in Bayern erhoben. In BaWü sehen wir, dass 11x mehr SPD-Wählende verstorben sind als zur AfD wechselten.

Die Idee, die SPD hätte massiv Wähler:innen an die AfD verloren dominiert weiter den politischen Diskurs. Sie ist schlicht falsch. Mit dem Panel der GLES sieht man bspw. dass nur 11% der 2013 SPD-Wähler:innen 2025 AfD gewählt haben. Diese Tatsache muss doch mal in Politik und Medien ankommen.

If you took public transport from rural Unteriberg (SZ), you would arrive in urban Zurich's District 4 in 85 minutes. Yet politically, these two places are miles apart. In Unteriberg, 90.5% voted yes to the far-right '10Mio-Initiative", while in Zurich's districts 4/5, the no-share was 85.09%.

Les jeux sont faits: Thanks to urban municipalities and french speaking regions, Switzerland says NO to the far-right proposal demanding to cap the population at 10 million inhabitants.

First estimates predict a very narrow no: Swiss voters will likely but very narrowly reject the far-right proposal demanding to cap the population at 10 million, according to first tentative predictions.
