Very excited to share a new preprint. @jesperasring.bsky.social and I study how politicians engage with evidence in the real world. Link: osf.io/8zv9s

Die Sprache ist ja gerne von "diesen jungen Leuten". Ein kurzer 🧵 zum Wahlverhalten nach Altersgruppen und meine Einschätzung zur Veränderung seit 2021. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, dass junge Menschen zwar volatiler wählen als andere Altersgruppen, vor allem aber eine sehr heterogene Gruppe sind!

Remarkable increase in young MPs by 'Die Linke' in the new German Bundestag, with 1/3 of Linke MPs being younger than 35 years (compared to 3% after 2021 election)

Yesterday I had the pleasure to present current work with @mathisbr.bsky.social on the attitude congruence of young voters and candidates at the IASGP conference. Thank you to everyone for the great discussions!

🎉 Congratulations to Thijs Vos for winning the 2024 Kaare Strøm Prize for his paper on legislative voting in subnational legislatures! The committee also gives honourable mentions to papers by Mathis Brinkmann and Gaya Stav Mashiach! Photo from @ankuepfer.bsky.social 🦉

My book is here! Such a wonderful feeling to see it in print. While the book covers a group of parties that is very successful in the volatile party systems of Centr.&Eastern Europe, I learned a lot from studying these parties for party system change in general. A thread 1/10
