Paper II on the presentation of election polls: 10:50-12:30 Friday, 19 June, Lagan A. This is joint work w/ @linushagemann.de, @simonsaysnothin.bsky.social, @hannahrajski.bsky.social, T. Gschwend, @cornelius-erfort.bsky.social & @lstoetze.bsky.social from the @zweitstimme.bsky.social project.

Anyway, AI is a managerial technology that came out of fields where researchers act more like managers than researchers and this is not a coincidence. It’s fundamentally related to why certain people jumped at the chance to try to build certain kinds of systems that devalued (other people’s) work.

Last weekend, we were at #FOSDEM and presented HowTheyVote.eu as part of the "Open Source & EU Policy" devroom. The talk has been recorded: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... We showed some features (including new things you might have missed!), what's hard about that, and what might come-all in 9min! 😉

Not the most important thing today, but given the fact that recent resolutions in the EU Parliament on Venezuela were carried by the EPP with all the far-right groups - now literally called the Venezuela majority - how the EU Parliament will take a position on Trump's Venezuela occupation.

If you are at #39C3 and would like to talk about tracking the European Parliament - either from a technical or a PolSci perspective - please reach out. Especially interested in all-things-far-right, insights into EP admin and making the EUs legislative process more accessible - would love to chat!

This is another great newsletter by @nvondarza.bsky.social and if you are interested in EP roll-call votes - subscribe! Regarding the "left + far-right" majority, a short thread on why I think this has to be treated/seen differently from the 🇻🇪 majority votes: It's about who *makes* decisions.

November was a month of high tension in the European Parliament. I went through 51 final votes and 10 public Council votes for my latest EU-Analytics review – and found three different working majorities at play:

Europe’s new pro-Kremlin bloc takes shape in the European Parliament

Over @howtheyvote.eu, I try to take a look back at each EP plenary session once it's done, and I had a second to look for interesting patterns in the votes - the roundup for the last plenary session at the end of october just dropped!
