For example, a more detailed description of the policies and their pros and cons can enhance public expectations and thus create broader acceptance. Paying less attention to populist actors would also help by limiting of the negative consequences of their effective communication.

3️⃣ Surprisingly, these effects are widespread across society — not just among economically or socially vulnerable groups.

1️⃣ Progressive policy changes on immigration, climate, and gender equality significantly reduce policy support.
2️⃣ This decline is particularly strong when right-wing populists are electorally successful, exploiting these policies for reactionary, anti-elitist rhetoric.
📢 New Paper out in @wepsocial.bsky.social! @conradziller.bsky.social and I examine how radical-right populist parties influence political support during times of progressive policy change❓
Our 3 main findings in a thread 🧵 👇

📢Just Published! Can local social spending reduce political dissatisfaction? 🗳️💰 @hummlerteresa.bsky.social & @paulvierus.bsky.social show: In municipalities with higher social spending, economically deprived individuals are less politically dissatisfied. 📉💡

📊 Our insights highlight the pivotal role of social norms and political institutions in shaping immigrant voter turnout. Surprisingly, migration-related factors like immigrant unemployment rates don't significantly influence turnout rates.
5/6
🔍 Our key finding: Active participation of national parties and a thriving political culture (proxied by higher voter turnout in municipal elections) foster greater civic engagement among immigrants.
4/6
In recent elections, the turnout averaged only 13%, ranging from 5.4% to 26.5% across municipalities. We're exploring factors contributing to this regional variance to better understand how to potentially boost engagement.
3/6
Integration councils play a crucial role in addressing migration in local politics, with NRW leading the way with 107 integration councils. Despite being pioneers, these councils are often unknown.
2/6
🗳️Non-EU citizens in Germany can't vote in parliamentary elections, creating a representation gap. In cities like Essen, where 17.3% are excluded, integration council elections aim to address this. Low voter turnout and limited political power persist as challenges.
1/6
A while ago, we (conradziller.bsky.social, Nicole Marx) published an article on voter turnout in integration council elections in Germany. We've now uploaded an English translation of this important topic bit.ly/integration_....
A🧵on why caring about integration councils.
