This reaction should be seen as proof of a confident European Commission that is doing its job well by enforcing rules that protect its citizens.

I merged the CHES expert survey with EP composition data to visualize the political space of the current EP. The graphs make the center of gravity in the EP quite clear, on multiple dimensions and policy issues.

Today seems like a good day to point to @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social’s recent piece on why (Britian) may not just ‘copy’ Danish migration policies.

Political context, negative consequences and mixed public sentiments matter.
