I’m hiring 2 doctoral researchers in Politics of Climate Change at Heidelberg University 🌍 📊 Survey Research & Political Participation 🗣️ Qualitative Research & Group Formation Part of “The New Climate Divide” Deadline: 21 June 2026 Calls: www.ipw.uni-heidelberg.de/en/about-us/... Please share!

Feels great to be back in my hometown for the conference of the Swiss Political Science Association! Looking forward to present my work on the competition between BSW and AfD in the 2025 general elections tomorrow morning.

"But the SVP is different": I hear this often, especially compared to A/fD. But 2024 data confirm different story: programmatically, the overlaps are strikingly close. The real difference is govt participation, not ideology. And yet, many still label the SVP as a center-right ("bürgerlich") party

#POLITKOLUMNE: Another focus on US hyperpolarization, but what may be lesser known: Once-consociational Switzerland has the most polarized party system in Western Europe. Switzerland’s governing coalition includes four parties that are the furthest apart ideologically www.derbund.ch/parteiensyst...

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

On the “defeat” of the far right in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 The total number of far-right seats in the Tweede Kamer: 2021: 28 2023: 41 2025: 42 👈 And I don’t even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

In Nordrhein-Westfalen wählen ziemlich gleich viele Leute AfD und Grüne. Medial und politisch geht es heute allerdings fast nur um die AfD und ihre Themen. Die "besorgten Bürger" die Aufmerksamkeit bekommen, sind die Anhänger der AfD. Wir sagen ihnen klar: es lohnt sich rechtsextrem zu wählen

In Austria, the far right's "strength might have been exceptional in an international context, but... the case of Austria has become a ‘normal’ one in European politics and beyond." @manesweisskircher.bsky.social on Austria's far right in long-term perspective

A Normal(ised) Far-Right Party? A Long-Term Perspective on the FPÖ’s Electoral Strength in Austria

What have the long-term trends been for the far right in Austria?

For the first time I am launching my own personal website! This has been something I've put off for a while and finally got round to doing. If you'd like to keep up with my work go check out dinowildi.github.io

This was an interesting read that reminded me how often I've recently been frustrated by Swiss media describing the SVP in terms like "bürgerlich" or "conservative" instead, shying away from even "right-wing". Unfortunate to see other countries following us in that regard...

The Loop@ecprtheloop.bsky.social · last yr.

Far-right parties are doing well – so it’s important that we see them for what they are. Yet, in the UK, the label ‘hard right’ is catching on. Why is debateable. But, argues, @timbale.bsky.social, this misdescription sanitises far-right parties, and we should push back against it bit.ly/4eLRBeC

Today, I am starting my new postdoc position at the @uniheidelberg.bsky.social, working in the "The New Climate Divide" project by @eborbath.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to progress my research and dive into a new project following my PhD!
