Great graphs of party positions based on Chapel Hill Expert Survey. @medzihorsky.bsky.social makes great data visualizations. Follow him for more.

Notice how little variation the Hungarian parties show on left-right dimension on economy. Apparently it's not all about the economy.

Crowd at an outdoor protest in The Hague

Today in The Hague, I joined with thousands of others who care deeply about the future of higher education in the Netherlands to protest against drastic budget cuts. #DoeHetNiet

Poster: 'Stop de bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs'

Thanks for organizing this!

I'm working on flexible assessments in higher education from a UDL perspective and would love to be added!

Great data visualization content from Andy Kirk @visualisingdata.com for those teaching statistics and data science!

Gains and losses for the PVV. Big wins from VVD, non-voters, also winning voters from FvD, JA21.

Gains and losses for the PVV (source: Ipsos/NOS)

No way to spin this exit poll.

Left+Prog. parties (BIJ1, SP, PvdD, GL-PvdA, Denk, Volt) would collectively lose 14 seats compared to 2021

Right (CU, NSC, VVD, CDA, 50+, BBB, SGP) would gain 3

Far-right (PVV, FVD, JA21) would gain 11

The Netherlands will join an increasingly long list of West European countries (CH, FR, IT, SE) where the radical right has overtaken the mainstream right as the main party of the right. A watershed moment for liberal democracies.

I use this one in my UG class as well. The students often refer to the sampling distribution, as the blue one. ☺️

Still testing if it works but there’s now an IPE/CPE feed for folks who are in polisky already! It’s ipesky or cpesky or cipesky. First time I do any of this so I’m very open to suggestions (starting from the feed’s avatar!). Please help advertising it!

For our article, Achim and I summarize evidence about how the UK and the USA learn from the Chilean pension model, but repackage that learning in ways that fail to attribute credit or distort the lessons. For more details, see the article (available open access) here:
