And the prize for worst election take goes to: @BBCNews that put up an explainer on Europe and right-wing nationalism. I suppose in the spirit of “at least we have it better than all the others” (thread) bbc.com/news/world-eur…

@BBCNews And yes, you might say, but their metric was “vote share in the last national elections”. To which I say: pardon? Why would I be interested in that? Wasn’t that sort of the last election? Don’t we have new data now, which is from - well - THIS - election?
