According to the most recent Global Gender Gap report published by the WEF, the Netherlands has dropped from 28th to 43rd place in the rankings. The low ranking is mostly due to only two of the index’s metrics – economic and political representation.

I'm very happy to share our newest publication!

🛂 Internal border controls are back across the EU.
🗣️ And they require public justification.

In this article, we analyze a decade of German government communication (2013–2023) to examine how border policies are publicly justified.

See if you can spot in the new UKIP party logo the slight, nuanced, extremely veiled visual nods to historical political symbols en vogue circa 1940

My study of 🇪🇺 public opinion is now published! Check it out if you want to know how attitudes towards European integration really covary with political ideology, which policy views predict EU support, and how party positions structure public opinion.

"Voer een kritisch debat over organisatie, programmering en journalistieke keuzes, maar wel met feiten, niet met verdachtmakingen. Een instituut opbouwen is veel moeilijker dan het afbreken. Termen als 'activisme' en 'staatsomroep' zijn ongefundeerd, misleidend en schadelijk."

The Dutch choose optimism over anti-immigrant populism Rob Jetten fends off Geert Wilders

Mmmh. Yes, Jetten/D66 had a great election and is the largest (mid size) party.

But at the same time far right cemented its vote share, just shared across more parties than Wilders/PVV.

Important nuance for the 🇳🇱 elections.

Excitement, tension, bingo and great insights from my fellow PolComm colleagues - think that describes our election event in CREA quite well. Great way to count down to the exitpolls! @markboukes.bsky.social @favstats.eu @ulrikeklinger.bsky.social @lindabomm.bsky.social @corinnaoschatz.bsky.social

When the dust settles after Dutch elections, reflections will come on political dynamics, but it is also a time to reflect on the role of:
- talk shows
- stop on online ads
- influencer content on Insta and TikTok
- platform fragmentation
- dynamics of polls
- AI content and slob
- news avoidance

Dat de positieve campagne van D66 gewerkt heeft is eigenlijk niet verrassend. Kiezers van links tot rechts hebben de voorkeur dat hun partijleider positieve emoties gebruikt en minder negatieve emoties. De data hieronder uit drie surveys laten dit zien (grootste partijen op dat moment). [1/2]

Er wordt nu steeds gesproken over de grootste partij die het voortouw zou mogen nemen in de formatie. Dat is zwaar aangezet, in het verleden is een verkenner benoemd op voordracht van de grootste partij. Maar dat is een gebruik, geen regel. Als een (ruime) meerderheid iets anders wil, kan dat.

Ja waarschijnlijk idd, maar zelfs voor zwevende kiezers liggen deze partijen toch behoorlijk uit elkaar

Weinig verhuld racisme van een 'gewone' line-dancende kiezer op NPO1. "Maar dat is gewoon mijn mening. Dat mag je gewoon zeggen".

De pipeline van PVV naar D66 blijft me verbazen. 7% is niet niks. Impact van de debatten?

Don’t let AI chatbots tell you how to vote, Dutch authorities warn voters Far-right PVV and GreenLeft-Labor were overrepresented as suggested picks, in a test of how four chatbots gave voter advice.

The Dutch data protection watchdog has warned voters not to ask artificial intelligence chatbots for voting advice ahead of the country's general election next week.

Chatbots offer explicit vote advice ahead of elections.

A simple prompt leads to receiving an advice for the Dutch October 29 elections ⬇️

The Dutch Data Protection Authority concluded: AI chatbots are not transparent, they are not auditable, and providers should prevent use as vote advice.

CDA-leider Bontenbal: religieus onderwijs mag botsen met grondrecht van gelijkheid Dat religieuze scholen homoseksuele relaties afwijzen, is volgens CDA-leider Henri Bontenbal nu eenmaal een gevolg van de vrijheid van onderwijs. Daar wil hij niet aan tornen. "Een andere mening doet ...

Nou nee, dat mag niet.

Een school moet een veilige plek zijn voor álle leerlingen. Dat staat ook in de wet. Het afwijzen van homoseksuele relaties geeft de boodschap dat iemand niet zichzelf mag zijn.

Dat mag niet én is ronduit schadelijk.

Latest Dutch polls show PVV still ahead, followed by CDA and GL-PvdA. D66 made gains, mostly over the last month or so. Still, many voters are still uncertain about their vote choice: between 48% and 83% according to Verian and Ipsos I&O.

Zendtijd is cruciaal voor kleine partijen, maar een klimaatdebat tussen Volt en FvD? Totale onzin. 1) Nauwelijks zwevende kiezers tussen die twee. 2) Waarom debatteren met een partij die de klimaatcrisis ontkent én extreemrechts gedachtegoed verspreidt? Sterk van @laurensdassen.voltnederland.org 👏
