@ellie_knott The maps are really interesting! Slightly ignorant Q: how & by whom was the vote organised in Transnistria?

[Matthias Kaltenegger @mk4ltenegger]

Do changes in a party's leadership personnel matter for party policy?

In this new article (🚨) in Party Politics, Wolfgang C. Müller and I show that new people in the main party executive introduce change in issue emphasis.🧵

I'm going to share some graphs that dig a bit into what we can make of Moldova's first round of presidential elections and the EU referendum. I'm not going to consider the diaspora and only take voters within Moldova. I'm also going to present vote shares by region.

[Europe Elects @EuropeElects]

Moldova, EU membership referendum:

99.5% counted

Against: 50%
In favour: 50%
