i.e.: 'Party families are groups of parties whose patterns of issue salience ideologically reflect their historical origins. More specifically, parties belonging to a party family will historically be the most consistent emphasisers of their core issues* within their party system' 2/2

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

Our Element is out! 🎉

Why do authoritarian-leaning leaders target women’s and LGBTQ+ rights? Is there a systematic pattern that reaches beyond individual country cases, and how is this reflected in people’s attitudes and societal norms?

Proud of this piece of work!

With the irreplaceable @fedetrastulli.bsky.social

LGBT+ political representation involves critical factors like party ideology, activism, and visibility.

We interviewed several Italian LGBT+ politicians to explore how they navigate these dynamics👇
