New paper out in @bjpols.bsky.social, co-authored with Emilien Paulis.
Using survey data from 13 European democracies, we show that electoral winners are less supportive of referendums, especially when they are affectively polarized. 1/6

I agree with @kajakallas that the EU should become a beacon of freedom. So when do we start?
Here I offer six ways to actually light the beacon and step into the role history has chosen for us. Our response to the current uncertainty can be firm and long term. A thread.🧵1/17

Much looking forward to the Future of Electoral Democracy conference!
Over the next two days, current and former students of the CRC in Electoral Democracy will be at UdeM to present their work, think about research, and recall memories of all the fun we had at the CRC over the last eight years!

Happy to share this new article in European Union Politics, written with @bjarneck.bsky.social. In the paper, we ask: have high and growing levels of income inequality undermined support for the EU, as some have claimed? Existing studies have produced very mixed results in this regard (1/5)
