What were the most significant factors contributing to Karol Nawrocki's surprising presidential victory?

Karol Nawrocki's victory in the presidential election was significantly influenced by a negative campaign waged against him by his rival, Rafał Trzaskowski, according to a German historian's analysis. The attacks, focusing on Nawrocki's alleged ties to violent football fans, a property scandal, and connections to Gdansk's underworld, backfired, strengthening support for Nawrocki instead of harming his campaign.

What are the underlying economic and political factors driving Labour's shift from a focus on "workers" to a focus on "work"?

This semantic shift reflects Labour's attempt to appeal to a broader electorate, including the middle class, by emphasizing economic responsibility and fiscal discipline. However, this strategy risks alienating its core working-class supporters who may view these policies as neglecting their needs and interests. The party's focus on "work" over "workers" aligns with Thomas Piketty's observation of a "brahmin left" prioritizing economic orthodoxy.

What are the political implications of the left's neglect of class politics, and how has this contributed to the rise of parties like Reform?

The book critiques the political exploitation of the white working class's anxieties, particularly concerning immigration. Budd argues that age, not class, is a stronger predictor of attitudes toward immigration, and that the portrayal of working-class hostility is often a tactic used to legitimize elite prejudices. This neglect of class-based issues has allowed parties like Reform to gain traction by falsely positioning themselves as champions of the working class.
