That attitude won't help...

You can email my agent and we‘ll see if I can fit it in

Hah! Harsh.
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy is the answer to that question.

I am still convinced that my answer to the question "which was the first sports team you ever supported?" is the reason that I was never invited to be on the Radikaal podcast 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Overall similar picture as in Europe as Silja Häusermann shows in this chapter. The interesting difference is the lack of overlap between Labour and Conservatives. Failure of the Tories to benefit from unpopular government because of their culture wars focus.

Not your point, but just fascinating to see the numbers on Labour here. Huge frustration among their 2024 electorate with nearly as many considering Green and Lib Dems. And only a tiny share considering Reform. Mystery how this is not breaking throught to people making their strategic decisions.

I agree that social media is not the best venue to discuss these things. I will note that I am not the one who brought it to social media. In any case, I think it is a bit late for this discussion.

Also probably a good moment to think about how we would feel and would want to be treated in a similar situation. What should the editorial process look like? What is the right tone of a response? How and when do you promote it on social media? Does your language imply more than honest mistakes?

We have done some work on rent prices and radical right support: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
I would also emphasize that the Guardian article is less focused on the radical right than implied by the headline.

(8) Ben Ansell examines the political feasibility of wealth and inheritance taxes as potential funding sources for progressive housing and social policies. Inheritance taxes are particularly unpopular, but wealth taxes with credible promises to spend revenues on public investments can be popular.

(7) Gerald Koessl provides an in-depth analysis of Austria's and Vienna's housing system as a potential model for affordable housing provision. He examines policy instruments that make this system work, critically assesses their effectiveness, and identifies lessons for other countries and cities.

(6) Michael Wicki examines the politically contentious issue of urban densification - a key strategy for addressing climate change, housing supply constraints, and land scarcity. Wicki demonstrates that public acceptance of densification depends heavily on how projects are designed and implemented.

(5) Aidan Regan asks whether and how homeownership can ever be a progressive policy. He argues that homeownership is only progressive when it is affordable and accessible to low- and middle-income households, rather than serving as a vehicle for speculative wealth accumulation.

(4) Sebastian Kohl, Max Steinhardt, and Simon Voss shift attention to an often-overlooked dimension of housing inequality: the distribution of living space. Overcrowding and under-occupation in the existing housing stock are rising. Policymakers should incentivize redistribution.

(3) Dorothee Bohle and Lina Ehrich discuss the housing agenda of the radical right. Their analysis reveals how radical right parties attempt to reconcile housing affordability with their broader ideological commitments, including their stance on immigration, nationalism and the patrimonial family.

(2) Lindsay Flynn and Giuseppe Montalbano examine the fundamental tension at the heart of contemporary housing policy: housing as a social right versus housing as an asset for wealth accumulation. They highlight potential paths forward for and the political tradeoffs that must be navigated carefully

(1) Martin Vinæs Larsen traces the dramatic decline of social housing across Europe over the past four decades and analyzes the political barriers to its revival. He identifies four major obstacles to reviving social housing and argues for strategies with a broader appeal.
