How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?
In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

The populist right makes enormous gains (+12pp!) and the clear winner in a campaign dominated by economic issues and despite the immigration issue being almost absent. However they are unlikely to gain much political power from their new seats given the make-up of the incoming Parliament

It's now certain, but the rural-agrarian Centre Party, while suffering heavy losses, will be kingmakers in Parliament. Their leader underlines in his speech that no one can take them for granted - reminding Labour that the Centre party will require influence to not switch sides.
Seems like Labour will continue its minority government but with even more fragmented support base on the left. However still need to pay attention to the small parties hovering around the electoral threshold before we can say for sure
