Thank you, Julius! If I reconstruct this correctly (I remember that you asked me about own research initiatives on the BSW), part of our motivation for contributing a paper to research on BSW voting actually emerged from the podcast.

The takeaway is that the declining faith in politics and institutions may be in part to the lack of socio-economic diversity amongst political elites.

What are the political consequences of long-term population loss? In a new paper for German Politics @benjaminhoehne.bsky.social, Hendrik Träger and I find that East German places more affected by depopulation provided stronger support for the AfD in recent state elections.🧵👇

The last General Election has seen much talk about Reform UK's popularity in so-called 'left-behind places, characterized by socioeconomic deprivation. Looking at variation in deprivation levels across the UK's constituencies suggests this pattern exists, but only partially. A short thread. 🧵

Nunja, BSW ist links-authoritär. #BSW bedient erfolgreich eine Marktlücke im Wählerspektrum. Davor sollte man nicht die Augen verschliessen. Es gibt eben auch solche Linke.
Dazu gibt es eine spannende Podcastfolge von @juliusk.bsky.social und @vikburgi.bsky.social .
