Nach der Landtagswahl in #Sachsen-Anhalt stellt sich die Frage mit neuer Dringlichkeit: Würde Regierungsverantwortung die AfD „entzaubern“? 📊 Unsere Analyse von 1.307 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien zeigt: Die radikale Rechte wird dadurch nicht schwächer, im Schnitt gewinnt sie rund 6 Prozentpunkte.

📣 New op-ed in Süddeutsche Zeitung: What the data say about the “Brandmauer” I summarize key findings from a study with @anninahermes.bsky.social across 57 democracies ➡️ Far-right parties don’t get weaker in government, they get stronger (~6 points by the next election) tinyurl.com/4j6jaud2
