The victory march of democracy has ended What can we as researchers do? In the Scandinavian countries, a particular tool is available: Democracy & Power Studies. The Danish government appointed me as director of such a study. We started our work this year. A 🧵 on what we do & how we do it 1/8

Why is there no bookmark feature here? It would be really useful to save insightful posts, for our own learning and to refer to when challenging misleading claims and narratives especially those peddled by the ruling class. It’s an essential tool for accountability.

I’ve just added this cosy and aromatic Massaman Beef Curry to nigella.com, so of course it’s #RecipeOfTheDay! I cook this without the potatoes, then give it a day or two in the fridge before adding the potatoes and continuing, but you can cook it all the way through www.nigella.com/recipes/mass...

Flow of the vote, 2019-24, revised using @britishelectionstudy.com data. Only a few minor alterations, but the shifts are still striking - without even getting onto non voters and demographic churn, over 10m voters voted for a different party in 2024 than in 2019.

Orbán's far-right propaganda "university" Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), bloated with money directly from public coffers, also appears to be propped up with Russian oil money through the institutions shares in MOL.

Orbán’s oil funded thinktank is murky on transparency
