Western European men in their twenties show the sharpest rise in considering the far right. Women in their twenties remain less likely to consider the far right. Great article from @tabouchadi.bsky.social: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Alice Weidel und Tino Chrupalla loben explizit Björn Höcke für seinen Wahlsieg. Und nachdem der wegen der SA-Parole „Alles für Deutschland“ verurteilt wurde, wurden hier nun offizielle Herzen verteilt mit „Alice für Deutschland“. #riesa #rie1101

One small detail I find interesting is Nuremberg, postwar German law, etc. treat 30 Jan 1933 as when the legitimate German state notionally ceased to exist. Not the Enabling Act, or Hindenburg's death, but the moment power fell into the hands of a criminal conspiracy, with nothing else necessary.

Ok, I'll bite - mainly because the idea that accommodating the radical right on immigration is almost bound to work electorally seems to be rather popular among mainstream politicians. Let me try to provide a basic overview of the party competition literature and, in doing so, explain why there are

Karl Nehammer says he will resign as Austrian leader after coalition talks to form a government excluding the leading far-right party collapsed.

Die junge Partei Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht hat 2024 bereits 6,4 Millionen Euro aus Großspenden über 35.000 Euro eingenommen, wie aus Angaben des Deutschen Bundestags hervorgeht. #Parteispenden

Using the European election dataset put together by @gust2319.bsky.social I adapted INSA's polling to give a more realistic constituency projection. INSA shows the AfD doing only a little better than 2021 in the constituencies. Using EU data shows they will sweep almost the whole East. #BTW2025

I hope Chappell Roan is having a good day 🩷

The K-Frage also came to a sudden and unexpected end as Boris Pistorius announced yesterday he will not seek the candidacy. The way is clear for the embattled Scholz to lead his party into the election, with dire prospects. Pistorius remains far more popular than Scholz. #BTW2025 #bundestagswahl
