Rallying around the flag: How political narratives can turn conflict into votes
In India, conflict boosts electoral support for incumbents only when leaders and media make it politically salient, turning soldier deaths into narratives of national strength.

Why can't anyone stop the boats?
Those who have faced extreme hardship will not be deterred by threats of detention or deportation. Deterrence cannot work as migration policy: it cannot compete with hope of a better life.

British politics has become fluid. Only 42% of voters have stayed loyal since 2019 (vs 70% a decade ago). Major changes are within ideological blocs rather than across them. Even Reform UK is not immune to churn: only 54% of early supporters have stayed with them.

Recently, it feels like every news story on UK migration is about small boats. Is our national conversation being shaped more by visibility than scale?
Since 2021, small boat arrivals made up less than 1.5% of UK net migration—yet accounted for ~20% of all migration-related media coverage.

Trying to stop migrants at final stage of their long, costly journey across the Channel misses the point. Many spend months and most of their resources just to reach northern France. Deterrence at the last hurdle will not work. The real fix is to reduce the need for such journeys in the first place.

People arriving via small boats will be detained and returned to France “in short order” with a new safe and legal route established for refugees for the first time, Keir Starmer has announced.
The “one in, one out” deal – a pilot agreed with the French president, Emmanuel Macron – will for the first time give the UK the ability to return asylum seekers who cross the Channel to France who would not then be allowed to apply via the legal route. Continue reading...
