Election studies not only provide research data, they are a part of a democracy. With them, there can be nationwide accountability over claims of why electorates support different options and therefore what that support justifies, or not. They are a crucial litmus test of political consequences.

If you want to win an election against far right opposition you need to bring together two groups. The activated liberals outraged by the other side and the more moderate groups who want govt to make their lives less difficult. Not by trying to win the enthusiastic supporters of the other side.

New explainer on the customs union. Key points: - UK can't join the EU customs but there could be a new UK-EU customs union - Theresa May's 2019 withdrawal agreement sets a model to follow - A customs union would really help manufacturing trade but constrains UK's independent trade policy

Having published a book recently, I found it sometimes hard to understand how the process worked (and luckily, had very kind mentors who helped). I have uploaded a short document detailing how my experience went, in case others find it helpful: www.vicentevalentim.com/_files/ugd/a...

This, if true, is a suicidal act by Newcastle and will have long term ramification on the sector in general. If you don't invest in research, how long do you think it will take the gov. to take away your research funding? If you take away your researchers' time, gov. will take your REF money. Don't!

It is so, brutally obvious that Musk's 'gesture' was a Nazi salute (particularly the second), that I can only think of two reasons people/organisations are dithering over it: 1) they can't actually believe it happened; 2) there's serious costs in stating it

This is a HUGE topic, but my point is that leaders are simply people who see the electoral potential. And then shift norms.

Fascinating data over 200yrs and 19 countries shows that trade restrictions lead to open immigration policy and trade openness leads to immigration restrictiveness instead … radical right seem to want to have it both ways - success contingent upon subsidies to the export/service sectors it seems …

[email protected] has for years produced high quality research on the UK's links with the EU. Yet it now faces closure because of ESRC grant cuts. Some 66 of us Parliamentarians (38 MPs and 28 peers) have signed a cross-party letter urging ESRC + UKRI to reconsider their decision.

Great insights from @jillongovt.bsky.social on UK govt thinking and emerging strategy on Brexit and what still needs to be done. Polls (see my other posts) signal there is a window of opportunity for a rather bold EU-UK reset. Hopefully it will be leveraged appropriately! #EUsky

Confirms my ‘bresignation’ take(theconversation.com/bresignation...): quiet pragmatism on the issue is building up. Sign. scope for bolder govt action (e.g. on mobility), but rejoin or EEA still a stretch (e.g. ECJ and EU opinion findings).These options could harden positions again. #EUsky

When asked in 2016 what Brexit would do for Britain, I remember saying (to the annoyance of both Leavers and Remainers) that I thought “Britain would a bit more sovereign and a bit poorer”. That seems to be about right. Eg. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I've often wondered why we don't invite original authors on replications, especially ones that demonstrate issues with the original papers. It would increase code-sharing, transparency, and lessen the shame of retraction, which would be good for science.
