"Want to understand how local and national politics intertwine to shape old-age pension systems?

Curious about how class and party preferences influence the design of pension policies?

Interested in how institutionalized parties leverage local politics to set the national agenda?

Fantastisk at det i Oslo nå er mulig å ta buss, bane og trikk med barnevogn styrt med en hånd (kaffekopp i andre hånda 😅)

Store framskritt med nye trikker, busser, holdeplasser og enkelte stasjonsoppgraderinger.

Dette er investeringer som MDG virkelig kjempet for gjennom bompenger og prioritering!

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

Utrolig spennende og å få 12 millioner kroner til å forske på partienes rolle i å etablere den norske velferdsstaten ved hjelp av omfattende historisk datamatrialet og naturlig eksperimenter.

Nå har det også kommer oppdaterte byindekser basert på trafikktellinger t.o.m. august. Dette er usikre tall, men det er tydelig at særlig Stavanger-området ligger dårlig an i forhold til nullvekstmålet. Ny bussvei kan kanskje hjelpe noe, men det trengs også restriktive tiltak.

Det er få ting som er så krevende som å utforme et enmannskretsbasert flertallssystem som ikke strider mot vår grunnleggende rettferdighetsforståelse.

Høyre druknet i det som skulle være en høyrebølge. Hva skjedde?

Og trenger partiet en oppdatert forståelse av ansvarlighet?

Her er Minervas post mortem for partiet som nå skal ledes av noen andre enn Erna Solberg.

www.minerva.no/ansvarlighet...
(+) Hva gikk galt?
Hverken lillavelgerne eller de folkelig konservative har sett noen grunn til å stemme Høyre. Årsaken ligger i mye mer grunnleggende politiske forhold enn en mislykket valgkamp.

Frp ser ut til å bli 1,5 prosentpoeng større enn H, KrF og V til sammen.

Det var aldri noen teoretisk diskusjon at Listhaug kunne bli statsminister. Det var en reell fare.

MDG over sperregrensen sikret at vi ikke får vår første høyrepopulistiske statsminister de neste fire årene.

I have given in and started a Substack to write about illicit finance, development and data

In my first post, I explain why we should be careful about citing the $312 billion statistic on the size of Chinese money laundering
