#38 Misinterpretation (Ledia Xhoga, 2024) Literary fiction that defies (sub) genre classifications is the best - in this case, navigating between intimist portrayal of an excessively altruistic Albanian translator in NYC, and psychological thriller. Excellent read #booksky📚🖋️💙

Do parties & voters agree on EU exit referendums? @acgoldberg.bsky.social & @alessandronai.bsky.social examine 10 countries, showing parties are more opposed than voters, with gaps narrowing as issue salience rises. Read OPEN ACCESS: buff.ly/p6gswBf

$Abstract The fracture between citizens and elites on European integration remains understudied, most notably when it comes to specific issues. One of these issues, particularly salient in the aftermath of Brexit, is holding further European Union exit referendums across the Union. While regularly floated by (Eurosceptic) parties for electoral purposes, it remains unclear to what extent parties and citizens agree to actually hold European Union exit referendums. We examine the relationship between party and citizen stances on this issue in 10 European Union member states, leveraging original cross-country survey data and expert survey data on parties’ positions, both collected in 2019. The results show that parties tend to be more against holding a European Union exit referendum than their voters, less so the more extreme parties. Moreover, higher media saliency correlates with greater party–voter congruence, and the issue is more polarised among the electorate than at the party level.$

I came across this parody of a rumored upcoming press release by OpenAI:

Wonderful example of competing hypotheses absolutely not stemming from a unified theoretical framework
