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.

Denmark’s migration policy – an example to follow? - UK in a changing Europe
Kristina Bakkær Simonsen explains why countries feel they have something to learn from Denmark's strict migration policy, but argues that there are many key pitfalls.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social also wants to talk Danish immigration policy 🗣️
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Important addition: Respondents change their preference for reference countries when exposed to real performance information.

Multi country data will soon be collected. Stay tuned!

The results are derived from pairwise comparison tasks measuring relative favorability.

Data collected in late August, 2025.

In an ongoing project, we ask which countries citizens prefer as benchmarks for policy decisions.

Pilot data from the UK show that Denmark is ranked as one of the most preferred reference countries, particularly in relation to migration policy.
