Small nationwide parties are systematically disadvantaged.

That was fast.

Here is some background data that shows how unprecedented Friedrich Merz's defeat in today's federal chancellor election is. It's the first since time since 1949 that a candidate is not elected in the first round.

A Debate on the Durkheim-Tarde Controversy in the Early Days of Sociology A conversation with Claude AI

I just published another Conversation with AI where I speak with Claude, Anthropic's large language model, about Émile Durkheim and Gabriel Tarde and the different ways in which they theorized and explained society and social behaviour.

For part 2 of my series of chats with AI, I spoke with Claude, Anthropic's large language model, about Ian Manners' article "Normative Power Europe". I asked Claude to respond as if it were Ian Manners talking about his own work. Check it out on Substack.

Paradoxalmente, a principal causa da instabilidade política são os partidos "democráticos" do centro, sobretudo o PS, e não o Chega, que sozinho nunca teria alcançado a posição de "única oposição credível" que muitos lhe atribuem atualmente (3).

Infelizmente, também o PSD nunca conseguiu apresentar-se como alternativa competente. A governação falhada dos dois grandes partidos favorece o Chega e destabiliza o sistema político democrático. (2)

O PS foi e continua a ser o motor principal da ascensão do Chega em Portugal. Obrigado António Costa e Pedro Nuno Santos! A combinação de políticas fracas, sem coragem, desmotivadas e incrementais desde 2019 e uma oposição destrutiva e cobarde desde 2024 caracteriza a atuação do PS. (1)
