Noch vor Kurzem betonte die SVP bei der 10-Millionen-Initiative, wie wichtig ihr Umweltschutz sei. Wenn es *tatsächlich* um Umweltschutz geht, zeigt die SVP ihr wahres Gesicht. Das ist das Problem mit Populisten: Sie lügen.

Als sich die Jugendlichen der Letzten Generation auf die Straßen klebten, habt ihr sie geschlagen, weggezerrt, ja Terroristen genannt. Die #Klimakatastrophe zerstört jetzt überall Straßen, zwingt euch zum Langsamfahren, zu Umwegen, stoppt euch. Auf wen seid ihr jetzt wütend?
Verkehr - Hitzebedingte Straßenschäden im ganzen Land - Autobahnen und kommunale Straßen betroffen - Fahrer zu Aufmerksamkeit aufgerufen
Die Hitzewelle beschädigt vermehrt Straßen und Autobahnen in Deutschland. Betroffen sind mehrere Strecken in Brandenburg, die A7 bei Hamburg, aber auch die A93 in der Oberpfalz.

Autos verstärken den Hitzeeffekt, Bäume lindern ihn. Deswegen: weniger parkendes Blech, mehr grüne Schattenspender.🌳🌳🌳 #Hitzewelle #Klimaanpassung
So, outside temperature on our balcony now hit 43 degrees celsius. After a week of crushing heat, I’ve overheard people say that it was now time for decisive political action. Good, I think…
Nein. Es ist kein Wetter! Es ist eine globale Klimakatastrophe, welche unsere Lebensgrundlage gefährdet!

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart
It was so beautiful, so pure, the perfect research methods piece and somehow completely ignored by Keir Starmer even though it explained exactly how he shot himself in the dick with his own gun.
![The timing of this highly salient event during ongoing fieldwork for the British Election Study (Fieldhouse et al., 2025) enables us to leverage an ‘unexpected event during survey design’ (UESD) identification strategy (Munoz et al.,2020) to identify the causal effects of exposure to Labour’s
rhetorical shift. By exploiting both the as-good-as-random variation in survey timing and a panel data framework, we estimate within-individual
changes in immigration attitudes, party perceptions, and vote intentions attributable to treatment. **Our identification strategy thus offers a rare combination of internal and external validity: exogenous assignment to a real-world treatment in a large-N survey.** [yeah baby]
Our analysis proceeds in three steps. First, we show that Starmer’s speech caused a sharp increase in the salience of immigration, evidenced by increased media reporting as well as spikes in internet search activity and online political discussion. Second, we demonstrate that exposure to the speech caused voters to update their perceptions of
the UK Labour Party, identifying the social democratic party as more anti-immigration and right-leaning. This re-evaluation of the party’s position, however, coincided with more negative assessments of the party’s handling of the issue alongside a spike in the overall assessment of immigration as the most important issue of the day. Rather than neutralising the issue, Labour’s accommodation made it more salient. Finally, we demonstrate that Labour’s shift right-ward on immigration provided zero electoral rewards. Instead, we find robust evidence that treatment induced within-individual declines in Labour support across several measures. On average, treatment decreased voting intentions for Labour by 1.2 percentage-points (p<0.05) and resulted in a
3.9 percentage-point (p<0.05) haemorrhage in support from Labour’s
own former voters without attracting any new supporters.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wdpjj5tlztbjxcematya2o5p/bafkreid2fssnxwbgsvh3zlzsmldxzqih64byadyzxfumeopbrs563yfuwa)
Die Chaos-Initiative der SVP ist ein Rückzugsgefecht und nur symbolische Effekthascherei. Die SVP hat gemerkt, dass sie selbst auf dem Zenit des internationalen Neofaschismus mit Führern wie Putin, Trump, Netanyahu etc. versagt. Selbst am Peak der Faschismusbewegung kann die SVP nichts gewinnen. 1/n
