It’s ideology, not geography 🗺️ New research by Natasha Wunsch of @ecprsgeu.bsky.social & @mihailchiru.bsky.social show conflicts over democratic backsliding in the EP are driven more by ideology (pro-EU vs Eurosceptic) than by a simple East–West split

As far as the Anglo consensus is concerned, Spain's assertive centre-left government has done everything wrong: Keynesian, redistributive, socially open, net-zero-friendly, multilateralist, Trump-sceptical. Yet the governing PSOE just hit 33% in latest CIS poll, above even its 2023 election win.

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.
