- Reposted by Sophie Suda🧵 New article out in @govandopp.bsky.social ! Why do opposition parties sometimes support government legislation? Should they not be, well... opposing? I analysed 75 years of parliamentary votes in 4 parliamentary democracies. Here is what I found👇🔗 cup.org/3JeLkw4
- Reposted by Sophie SudaIn our new study, @rozemarijnvandijk.bsky.social and I looked at who gets interrupted during debates in the parliaments of 🇦🇺🇭🇷🇬🇧. We find that women and men get interrupted just as often. Yet, when more women join the debate, politicians interrupt less. ➡️ Read the full study: doi.org/10.1093/pa/g...

- Reposted by Sophie SudaThank you to everybody that attended our #sgop25 conference last week - here are some of the highlights:
- Reposted by Sophie SudaPopulism is a political reality in many European countries. A study by @sophsuda.bsky.social and her research team now shows that coalition governments that include populist parties are often unstable. But it isn’t the radicalism of the party that counts, rather it’s the political style.
- Reposted by Sophie Suda🏆⚽ Go Team!! ⚽🏆 Mit vollem Einsatz hat unser Team vom FB Basel und @swisspeace.bsky.social am diesjährigen Powi-Fussballturnier teilgenommen – und abgeräumt! Vielen Dank an alle Mitspielenden, Fans und Organisator*innen – wir sind stolz auf Euren Einsatz und freuen uns schon aufs nächste Jahr!! 💪🎉
- Populist concepts are not in line with the willingness to compromise required by coalitions, which makes governing with them much harder 👇
- Wilders’ populist logic that his asylum plans reflect “the will of the people” and must be implemented immediately clashes with the logic of governing. It fits a broader pattern: coalitions with populists are less stable. doi.org/10.1093/pa/g... @sophsuda.bsky.social @mlewandowsky.bsky.social
- Reposted by Sophie Suda🎉 We are so thrilled to share that our amazing postdoc Magdalena Breyer has won the 3rd prize of the 2025 SAGW Early Career Award! 👏 Congratulations, Magdalena 💐🎉 We are very proud and inspired by your work! @mabreyer.bsky.social @unibas.ch @dgw.philhist.unibas.ch
- Happy to present our paper about the influence of populist parties on government stability. Overall, populists in cabinet is one of the strongest predictors of premature government termination - but more in some countries than others
- 🚨 Publication Alert 🚨 Do populists get “disenchanted” in office? We analyze if coalitions with populists are less stable than mainstream coalitions and find that indeed, populists coalitions have a high chance of early termination. But—it depends. New paper out👇🏻 academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a...
