Introductions
Hello everyone aand welcome to the Politics Lab! I have a PhD in comparative politics (that means I compare systems in different countries) and public management, and I've been a politics nerd for 30 years. Being a high-functioning autistic gives me the hyperfocus superpower for this kind of thing! I have a dog and a cat, and am a dad for two teenagers. And this is my workspace! Please introduce yourself and your workspace!

What's a political myth people believe — but isn't backed by evidence?
Every country has persistent political myths — stories people tell themselves about how things work that don’t hold up under scrutiny. What’s one political idea, “truth,” or popular belief you’ve found doesn’t match the data or theory? Share your myth-busting insight, and if you can, back it up with a source or example. Let’s compare notes across different systems and cultures.
