Check out the latest @ches_data team paper on the 1999-2019 trend file at @ElectoralStdies. Thanks also to our awesome RAs, @StephanieNShady & Courtney Blackington.
The @ches_data is excited that @ElectoralStdies published our latest trend file dataset paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.…
In this piece, we investigate continuity & change in ideology and specific issue positions, like support for the EU as in Fig 2.

Invitations to experts in/on Central and Eastern Europe are forthcoming.
If you are an expert on the party politics of an EU-15 country and have not received our survey, our DMs are open ;)
Thanks again to the hundreds of experts that make this possible!
🫵 Scholars of political parties in Europe, keep an eye on your inboxes: we have begun rolling out the 2024 wave of the Chapel Hill Expert Survey on party positioning in Europe.
Thanks in advance for contributing your time and expertise to creating this dataset! 🎉
As always, this dataset will be made publicly available. We look forward to combining 2024 with previous CHES waves to generate a 25-year trend file on party positioning in Europe!
Visit our website chesdata.eu to access earlier rounds of data, including “Speed CHES” data on COVID-19 and Ukraine, and to learn more about the expansion of CHES beyond Europe.

The book 'Circumstantial Liberals' is here -- a physical copy has arrived! It is amazing to hear the kids read the acknowledgments written for them... To get the book, please visit academic.oup.com/book/57327 or message me.

Finally, I used @ches_data to calculate the weighted average ideological positions of the EP party-groups on the Left-Right and Pro-Anti EU dimensions
- Some notable stability (EPP, S&D)
- Some decreasing polarization on EU-dimension
- Far-right groups drift further to the right

🇪🇺 How coherently are the groups in the new European Parliament shaping up? A 🧵on left—right, lib—cons & Krɘmlɩn ties. 2023 data by @ches_data + the new seats.
1️⃣ the anti-establishment horseshoe stays heavier on its right, and maps onto openness to the Krɘmlɩn

Happy to see this out in @WEPsocial!
We investigate how citizens' perceptions of responsiveness depend on policy distance between the government and (1) themselves and (2) the median citizen, using data from @ESS_Survey, @ches_data and
@ParlGov.

Das Original der Grafik wurde von @ches_data entwickelt. Das ist eine international tätige politologische Expertengruppe, die auf die Klassierung von Parteien spezialisiert ist. Sie verendet seit Jahren genau dieses Gegensatzpaar, bisweilen auch als #galtan abgekürzt.
We are now over at bluesky, at @chesdata.bsky.social. We will continue to post here but are likely to be more active over there now that it is open access.
The new @ches_data-Israel team, @With2Ks & @RoiZur, announce the release of the first CHES-Israel dataset at chesdata.eu/chesisrael. Their paper discussing the data is out now at Party Politics: doi.org/10.1177/135406882312…
The 2023 @ches_data on political parties’ support for Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion is freely available for download on our website. We thank the hundreds of respondents that provided their time and expertise, making this dataset possible. chesdata.eu/speedches
We look forward to seeing/reading what others do with these data:

Mapping political parties' positions on the Ukraine war
Many 🇺🇦 supporters are socially progressive and economically right-leaning
Opponents to aiding Ukr. tend to be on the econ left & cultural right

As pointed out by our co-PI @JanRovny, the @ches_data time series continues to grow:

25 years of @ches_data show that European party positions are rather stable on all major dimensions (some movement is lost through aggregation and expert persistence). The striking change - and the story of our time - is the electoral decline of mainstream parties (bottom left)
