Nun, ja. Spannendere Frage ist, ob Wagenknecht sich komplett zurückzieht. Könnte das Ende der Partei bedeuten, da ein großer Teil das BSW nur wegen ihr unterstützt. Überstrahlt sogar die inhaltlichen/positionellen Korrelationen

Immigrant-origin voters & native behave the same, but have different experiences across the political life cycle.

Our newest piece on BSW is now published. We show that when attitudes toward Wagenknecht come into the game, policies are no longer that meaningful in predicting behaviour. Personalisation in a personalised party! What a surprise! 😀

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Once again, I ask what anyone has seen, at this point, to make them really believe that the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive. Who is going to stop Trump from simply declaring the results of blue states invalid for "pro-terrorist conduct" or some other invented reason?

In this new article, we study voting for the BSW from a policy space perspective with @gles.bsky.social data.

Findings:
-BSW voters tend to be left-nationalist
-Depending on prior party support, either nationalist or economically left-wing positions predict switching to BSW

Ich glaube, die SPD begeht mit ihrer Zustimmung zum Koalitionsvertrag einen schweren strategischen Fehler. Vermutung: die Positionen, die in den Vertrag hineinverhandelt wurden, können die ganz grundsätzlichen, strategischen Probleme und die personelle Not der Sozialdemokratie nicht aufwiegen. 1/

Many thanks to @pvs-journal.bsky.social, the editors and the reviewers for their helpful feedback!

However, the causal mechanism behind this remains unclear and there is still a lot to unpack. As the BSW narrowly missed to enter the Bundestag in the recent German elections, it remains to be seen how the BSW and its electorate evolve (especially if Wagenknecht steps down as the face of the party).

▶️But: No association with (dis)satisfaction democracy and political distrust.
▶️However, this seems to be largely overshadowed
by a strong impact of the favorability toward Sahra Wagenknecht. 👇

Results:
▶️ Left-authoritarian attitudes and sympathy for Russia are positively associated with BSW-support.
▶️Dissatisfaction with the government (the previous traffic light coalition) and populist attitudes also drive support for the BSW. 👇

Especially the BSW's unique position in the German party system, combining left-wing socio-economic and right-wing socio-cultural positions, should appeal to voters. Based on wave 26 of the GLES-Panel, I contrast intended voting in Germany with actual voting at the European elections 2024.

Drawing on theories related to policy considerations and protest motivations in supporting new parties, I argue that left-authoritarian and Russia-friendly attitudes as well as political discontent and populist attitudes drive support for the BSW.

After the foundation of the new party Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht, it received widely attention and even secured third place in the eastern regional elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg. This raises the question why voters support a new political party in an already crowded party system.
