Selbst eine Minderheitsregierung aus SPD & CDU kam in der Befragung nach der Wahl 2025 nicht so schlecht weg [befragt wurden Personen in ganz Deutschland, nicht nur Brandenburg, im Rahmen der @gles.bsky.social ]

Trotz anderer Mehrheitsverhรคltnisse (durch Parteiwechsel) sind diese Ergebnisse, denke ich, immer noch relevant:
Wรคhler*innen haben sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen davon, wer einen "Regierungsauftrag" erhalten hat.

Im Fall Brandenburg wird gerade oft "Wรคhlerwille" bzgl einer Regierung bemรผht, den ein Wahlergebnis vermeintlich ausdrรผckt.

Wie problematisch diese Idee ist, habe ich mit meinen Kolleg*innen @carolinaplescia.bsky.social & Alejandro Ecker nach den LTW-Wahlen 2024 untersucht:

Far point, but I think the situation here is different from the one in Germany under the Exzellenzinitiative: We are already supervising (too?) many PhD students, the majority *without any funding*. If anything, the goal is to increase the number of funded positions in SSH compared to other subjects
