Von einer Person dies zu erwarten, die immer wieder mit Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit aufgefallen ist, ist optimistisch :)

2/ Political science output has exploded. Our corpus grows from 1,546 articles in 2003 to 8,109 in 2023, with all major subfields contributing. The revolution is happening in a field much larger than it was twenty years ago

Interesting, thanks!

Yes, the losses of C are more long-term (at least compared with the 90s and 2000s when the party still got double-digit levels of support)

Also interesting how strongly the mainstream-right (M&V + C) has lost (short-term losses, but also in the long-run).

And post-vote survey data here:

What might be interesting as well, is that almost exactly 10 years ago, Swiss citizens already voted on an inheritance tax (20% on inheritances > 2 mio) and already heavily rejected it. The data is accessible here: swissvotes.ch/vote/594.00?...

21% is also considerably less support than (1) the vote share of the left-wing camp in Switzerland, (2) other initiatives on taxing the super-rich had received (rather recently, but also in earlier decades).

Well, that is fine - the Brügglifeld is a legendary place, I have to admit! And would be great to see them promoted again.

But yes, Luzern and Aarau do not particularly like each other, as you see...

Noted 🤝

The atmosphere is actually pretty decent in the stadium, especially against the major rivals from Basel, St. Gallen (fiercest rivalry), or Aarau.

But regarding football quality, watching Luzern is currently really not much fun.

Good Question - I could do that for weeks and months! :)

(Given how terribly they currently play, I am a bit ashamed to admit that I still support FC Lucerne, but this might be proof that childhood socialization is a sticky thing...)

And of course, many political leanings on German stands can only be understood when considering fan-friendships fostering some of these allegiances (e.g. pauli-bremen, pauli-aek, pauli-bayern, bayern-jena, halle-lok-rwe, gladbach-timisoara).

While I'd never deny that Hansa, Dynamo and Lok are having huge problems with neonazis, there are several East-German ultra-scenes clearly advocating anti-racism (much more clearly than Union), such as Jena, Babelsberg, or Chemie Leipzig.
November 30, 2025 at 4:35 PM
The selection of clubs is a bit odd, though. Dortmund has a long history of neonazis trying to gain influence on the stands. Regarding Union, it is less clear than what the article suggests. And finally, neonazism among ultras/hools is not only a phenomenon of the East (see Aachen, Ulm, Essen, etc.)
