@jamesrdennison.bsky.socialExactly this! It feels like they're trying to will Badenoch into No. 10. The IHT policy is horrible and might be her undoing and the constant claims on recovery in the polls are nonsense.
@williamlallen.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesrdennison.bsky.socialIt's been quite the ride, with lots of supporters: I've received a @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellowship to examine how data visualization matters for what people know, think, and want on climate change, migration, and economic development and inequality.

@turnbulldugarte.comReposted by @jamesrdennison.bsky.socialFar right parties strategically increase the (descriptive) representation of women assuming it helps them win votes in general and, in particular, from women. Does it work?
In this short descriptive piece, I show the answer in the case of Reform UK is a clear ‘no’
@alessandronai.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesrdennison.bsky.socialYou know those (rare) papers that really make you proud?
In new piece out at APR, we show that #AffectivePolarization likely spills onto other types of non-political polarization - notably, PREFERENCES FOR CATS VS. DOGS (aka “affective PAWlarization”)

@jamesrdennison.bsky.social“Towards a European demos? On the growth of European identity and attachment”
New evidence from across Europe on the remarkable growth of European attachment & identity since the early 2010s—including in the UK—for a special issue marking ten years since Brexit.

@jamesrdennison.bsky.socialA decade after Brexit, perhaps the most striking common thread across Leave and Remain is not triumph but lament—and an emerging recognition that Britain’s future remains profoundly European, albeit in new ways.

@tabouchadi.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesrdennison.bsky.socialA few things (international) commentatoes should remember. Only 2 million people live in Sachsen-Anhalt. Half of Berlin, a tenth of NRW. Around 400k will vote AfD. Even with this strong result, 80% of people living in S-A will not have voted for the AfD. In a state that is a far-right stronghold.
@jamesrdennison.bsky.socialPleased to contribute to this El País piece on immigration, the crisis in Ceuta, and the implications for the radical right in Spain.
And nice to see our new book with @andrewpgeddes.bsky.social What Europeans Think About Immigration and Why It Matters mentioned too!
@eui-eu.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesrdennison.bsky.socialWhy can two people see the same facts about immigration and walk away believing opposite things? @jamesrdennison.bsky.social breaks it down in his new book with @andrewpgeddes.bsky.social. 🎥 https://loom.ly/89C1HUs

2020: Concentrated exposure but no attitudinal effects

-Exposure very low but highly concentrated
-Reducing exposure by ~70% for months had no measurable effects *even among frequent consumers*
@jamesrdennison.bsky.socialHow much of what we know about attitudes to immigration actually generalises beyond Western countries?
My new OA paper in Public Opinion Quarterly tests one of the field's biggest assumptions using data from 66 countries.
Most findings travel well but three don't
