“During the mid-2000s Ireland & Spain experienced the biggest construction booms in Europe yet they simultaneously saw house prices soar by roughly 300% …the Dutch central bank concluded house prices are more closely linked to the financing capacity of buyers than to shortages in the housing market”

"The West is currently in the grip of a perfect storm: a lingering economic recession, a global refugee crisis, declining faith in multiculturalism, the rise of populist anti-immigration parties." • Frank Mols @fmols.bsky.social, Jolanda Jetten @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social, #UniversityofQueensland

Proportional Approval Voting 1 • Unity + Broad Participation 2 • Votes Flowing Proportionally Into Representation 3 • Honest Choice + Representative Legislatures 4 • Gerrymandering Weakened + Wasted Votes Reduced

1/4 • “Proportional Approval Voting” blends two democratic ideas together: broad voter choice and fair representation. Instead of forcing people to choose only one candidate, voters can approve of as many candidates as they support.

Radicaal-rechts succes en het verlies van de sociaal-democratie

Mijn god, tot drie keer aan toe wordt hier het onzin argument ingebracht dat de traditionele PvdA-kiezers allemaal zijn overgelopen naar de PVV. Nee, de traditionele PvdA-kiezer is ofwel overleden of in meerderheid overgestapt naar andere centrumlinkse partijen.

Populist radical right parties are often said to predominantly attract poor 'losers of globalization', and to benefit from economic crisis. However, when studying populist voting patterns longitudinally it becomes clear this is a (very pervasive) myth. #Populism #TheWealthParadox
