This reaction should be seen as proof of a confident European Commission that is doing its job well by enforcing rules that protect its citizens.

Political communication research overwhelmingly relies on text. But parliamentary speech is multimodal! In our new @psrm.bsky.social article, Mathias Rask and I show that legislators also signal partisan conflict nonverballyβ€” through changes in vocal pitch during floor speeches. 🧡 1/11 #polisky

I merged the CHES expert survey with EP composition data to visualize the political space of the current EP. The graphs make the center of gravity in the EP quite clear, on multiple dimensions and policy issues.

Denmark’s migration policy – an example to follow? - UK in a changing Europe Kristina BakkΓ¦r Simonsen explains why countries feel they have something to learn from Denmark's strict migration policy, but argues that there are many key pitfalls.

Today seems like a good day to point to @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social’s recent piece on why (Britian) may not just β€˜copy’ Danish migration policies.

Political context, negative consequences and mixed public sentiments matter.
