📰 Le scrutin majoritaire en France a perdu ses principales justifications : dégager une majorité de gouvernement et clarifier les responsabilités. Dans la revue Conférence, @iguinaudeau.bsky.social & @egrossman.bsky.social montrent que la proportionnelle apporterait plus de cohérence démocratique.

💫 New paper! @elisadeisshelbig.bsky.social, @theresmatthiess.bsky.social & I are happy to see our new paper published in open access with the @ejprjournal.bsky.social Do group-targeted campaign pledges pay off electorally? We test this with a preregistered survey experiment in Germany.

Really interesting study! The impact is probably even more crucial in countries using majoritarian systems such as France.

New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social) Do opinion polls shape election results? Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Can France still be governed under its current electoral system? After almost two years of parliamentary fragmentation, the situation remains unsettled: huge frustration, no stable majority and a presidential election already casting its polarising shadow over parliamentary life.

Today in @theguardian.com, I argue that Donald Trump’s foreign-policy playbook is increasingly about attention capture, or what I call geopolitical clickbait. Plus I outline why this matters for Europe & what to do about it. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump wants our attention. Let’s stop falling for his geopolitical clickbait | Catherine De Vries

Whether he’s targeting Greenland, tariffs or Iran, Trump’s agenda is to distract – because a Europe that is always reacting is never planning, says political scientist Catherine De Vries

Over the past couple days I have seen so many accounts that *never* post anything political, speak out against ICE. I sincerely hope Dem leaders don’t let up. This momentum is everything.

A tipping point?

An important point. A study of police in Chicago police between Jan. 2011 and Dec. 2015, “found that more than half of the officers received fewer than one complaint a year. By contrast, the worst 1 percent of officers generated about 25 percent of the complaints.” www.theroot.com/how-to-go-fr...

En France, tenir ses promesses électorales ne rapporte rien Avec @egrossman.bsky.social, on revient pour @france.theconversation.com sur ce résultat contre-intuitif et ce qu’il dit de la représentation & de la responsabilité des gouvernants de la Ve République 👇 theconversation.com/en-france-te...

En France, tenir ses promesses électorales ne rapporte rien

Une analyse des mandats présidentiels entre 1995 et 2022 montre que le respect – ou non – des promesses de campagne n’a aucun impact mesurable sur la popularité des présidents français.

theconversation.com

The @financialtimes.com calls Trump's Board of Peace "a fledgling club of autocrats". A data-based view fully supports that:
