Israele impedisce a un ricercatore palestinese di venire in Italia. Non sono sadici fino a questo punto.

It took a while to see it out, but I am very happy it finally found its home at @sesp_j🍾
In this paper @jbpilet, Sebastien, Emilen and I look at the association between preference for actors in gvt and voting behavior in Italy, with some unexpected results.

Le liberal democrazie sono liberali anche nel senso che sovrarappresentano da sempre le professioni liberali (e ad oggi con la fine dei partiti di classe ancora di più) a discapito della "classe" lavoratrice. La disaffezione alla politica parte anche da questo squilibrio.

Our study shows that context matters: Italy’s unique political history and party system shape how citizens imagine democracy should work.

"Trust in science during the pandemic: an ideological fracture or just a matter of government vs opposition?"
Co-authored with x-less Davide Angelucci.
A small thread.

3/ 🔑 The Research
Using original survey data from Italy, we tested two key hypotheses:
1️⃣ Trust in science correlated w/ support for governments enforcing restrictions.
2️⃣ Propensity to vote for radical right populist parties in gvt and in opposition differs based on gvt status

4/ 🇮🇹 Why Italy?
Italy was hit hard by COVID-19 and had a unique political situation:
→ Radical right Lega joined the pro-science Draghi gov’t.
→ Radical right Fratelli d’Italia stayed in opposition, fiercely criticizing restrictions.
Perfect for testing politicization dynamics

6/ 🗳️ Big picture
Trust in science isn’t just about policy, but about politics: RRPs can weaponize distrust in science—but mainly when in opposition.
Lega (gvt) vs. FdI (opposition): during covid and Draghi gvt, trust in science was main difference btw the two electorates.
