It is this accommodation as much as the radical right narrative itself that presents an existential threat to democratic politics.

Katz and Mair foresaw the rise of populism as a dialectic response to elite collaboration but not that mainstream parties would respond to right-wing populism by accommodating and attempting to outbid radical right narratives.

Delighted that the collaboration with my friend and colleague André Krouwel has borne fruit with an article in the Special Issue of Party Politics - journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Excited to start a stay as Visting Research Fellow @SussexPolitics. From 5 Jan to 30 April Brighton will form the 2nd case study of my post-doc research on patterns of connection between political parties and civil society #ecologiesofconnection

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

Austerity is the midwife of fascism youtu.be/UMa-aZVLI6I?si… History shows it clearly: austerity creates the conditions in which fascism thrives. When governments strip away public services, weaken safety nets and deepen inequality, people lose hope in democracy and turn to authoritarian “strongmen.” From Weimar Germany to modern Britain, austerity is the midwife of fascism. The only way forward is investment, trust and care.

We have an economy that allows the financial sector to earn profits without investment in productive capacities. On 'The Rest is Money' with @peston and @stephlunch, discussing why obsessing over fiscal "black holes" misses the point. The real question isn't how much government spends, but whether public investment expands productive capacity and creates the conditions for sustainable growth. Listen ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=gtcv9N…

Finally, I introduce the new concept #ecologiesofconnection that is the core concept of my post-doctoral research that started October 2024

Though this pattern has integrated many actors into the system it has also created ‘outsiders’ – new protest driven civil groups and radical challengers from the left and right.
