New opinion piece with @profjanegreen.bsky.social in @financialtimes.com ⬇️📊
We argue that five parties in the polls doesn't mean five-way races. What's really going on is a scramble within each bloc over who can win, fought out seat by seat.

Back in Barcelona after a few intense weeks on the road presenting new research - ECPR in Krakow, @tact-forsed.bsky.social’s project meeting in Dundee and #EPOP2026 in Liverpool to round it up.
Met new people, saw friends, got great feedback and drank perhaps too much coffee (both good and bad)

Had a great time at #EPOP2026. Thought a lot, learned a lot, met some lovely people, ate too much, was beaten very badly by John Curtice in a pub quiz. Perfect combination for a conference.

Really enjoyed attending #EPOP2026 but the news of cuts and job losses from across UK universities is just heartbreaking. Not sure what we can expect from this government but the sector is in an emergency.
