If you are designing a survey involving policy priorities, tradeoffs or relative preferences, you might find this interesting!

Most respondents display consistent relative preferences about where welfare reform is more urgent, and differences between individuals (by education, political sophistication…) are minor

My book is here! Such a wonderful feeling to see it in print. While the book covers a group of parties that is very successful in the volatile party systems of Centr.&Eastern Europe, I learned a lot from studying these parties for party system change in general. A thread 1/10

📣 New paper with @macarenaares.bsky.social on the impact of Russian invasion of Ukraine on attitudes toward democracy 

The invasion didn't alter Europeans' support/satisfaction with democracy or the importance they attribute to democratic principles.
