- Reposted by Ieva Hofmane🗳️ Why are parliaments still dominated by older politicians? @ievahofmane.bsky.social @eui-sps.bsky.social looks at how young people enter, survive & shape politics in Latvia and Estonia. Her research asks: are parties holding youth back? & Do young MPs speak up for their generation? #MyPhDPitch
