Why do #opposition parties sometimes support the government? My analyses show that parties use their votes in #parliament to shape how voters see them, what policies they can influence, and where they might end up after the next election @polscileiden.bsky.social @sgparliaments.bsky.social

I’ve had an amazing summer presenting my research on representation networks in the UK Parliament!

In July I attended the @sgparliaments.bsky.social conference in Barcelona. Got some great feedback, did a tour of the Catalan parliament and got some sightseeing in…

Thank you to everybody that came to our 10 panels! We hope everybody enjoyed the intellectual discussions at #ecprgc25, and we look forward to next year’s conference!

As always, I had such a great time at this conference - it's always a joy to see old faces again, meet new ones, and get inspired by all the cool ideas floating around. Just a lovely community to be a part of. Looking forward to the second round in a few weeks in Thessaloniki 🇬🇷

I really enjoyed this 9th General Conference @sgparliaments.bsky.social, where I presented my thesis chapter on the strengthening of parliamentary groups and the centralisation of powers in the National Assembly.
