The MP for Clwyd West, Mr. William Alexander Whitaker, issued a statement to the press from his newly opened constituency office.
"The Progressive Liberals came first in the number of votes cast at the election, and while I most certainly congratulate them on this achievement, with the happiness and post-electoral emotion comes a great deal of responsibility. Having secured such result on polling day, and a considerable number of seats in Parliament, Mr. Thicke, alongside the leaders of the other two big parties, hold responsibility for providing this country with a stable government enjoying a workable majority in the Commons.
I was terribly shocked to hear from the BBC that Mr. Thicke has ceased discussions with both Solidarity and New
Another over reach of power by the Obama administration, he is illegally ignoring congress and magically creates laws, right or wrong, where none existed before. By doing so, he gives zero chance for anyone or any state to debate or object to what he is trying to do, that is why we have a congress.
The progressive Era was times in History were local state and federal government took a leap forward in power and activism. In addition, the progressive era, was a time of development of new reforms and changes for America. Progressivism handles a wide range of problems and struggle for America. Such problems were created by unstructed industrialization, urbanization and immigration. As well as, the unfavorable distribution of power and wealth. Progressives believed strongly that problems such as these needed immediate action. Progressives existed in churches, organized labor, local political life, organizations and progressives of high education. Progressives wanted to make America better through inniatives, arranged action, idealism and social scientific research. Progressive had a tendency to expect the best possible outcome of situations. By, the 1920’s, progressives put in effect, changes of all aspects of society and government. Nevertheless, progressives had unhonorable qualities as well. They were biased of class and prejudiced against races.
Senator Rubio, I don't know how it works in the country of Florida and Afghanistan, but in the United States of America, besides other issues, when the leader of our nation solves our hostage crisis peacefully without getting us involved into more peaceful wars, then we the people highly think he surely deserves to be called, President Barack Obama. Although, President Barack Obama was able to bring home only six out of the seven of us, including Amir. Unlike some of your party members, who deployed hundred of thousand of American lives into Afghanistan and Iraq to capture two individuals. Perhaps you can tell us who smoked him out. As one of the Senators of the United States of America, you really don't think your President deserves his
Canada’s friendly neighbor to the South, the US, has an electoral system that is composed of 3 separate elections, one of them deciding the head of state. The president elected by the people and he or she is the determining person of the country’s political system. In the US runs like a majority system” In Canada, however, elections are held slightly differently. Citizens vote for a Member of Parliament in a 308-seat house and candidates win not by a majority, unlike in the US, but by a plurality. This means that a candidate can actually win by simply having more votes than the other candidates. This method of representative democracy, in general, does not cause too much controversy in a global scope but has
President Obama came into office in the aftermath of the disastrous foreign policy record of the Bush administration. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 had served as a “switchman,” leading to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Bush administration exercised unilateral use of force and reluctance to engage the international community. As a result global elites and publics viewed the US unfavorably. The US economy was negatively affected by the costs of the wars coupled with the financial crisis of 2007. It was this environment that defined the contours of the election campaign of 2008. Obama campaigned on the idea of change, which represented a regeneration of America through domestic public policy reform and a return to multilateralism in foreign policy. Both domestic and international publics and elites were galvanized by Obama’s message.
Harris maintained his position but he later assumed leadership of the party after the departure of Larry Grossman. This was a position he had eagerly anticipated for the past six years since his arrival at Queen’s Park. Harris believed in himself that he had the ability to give the party a new direction. He didn’t believe in the “big government” that was characterized by high taxes, deficits, influential public sector organizations and a businesslike way of ruling. Harris portrayed the image of a “tax advocate” to his party, a man capable of making the conservative party popular again through the tax reduction policies.
The Progressives was a group of individual reformers that worked towards the goal of improving social and political problems during the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. Most of the Progressives were well educated professionals that come from the cities. The Progressives were a group of many people that knew how to solve a problem from how they saw it and including many different ideas to gain a solution. Most of the Progressives focused on improving working conditions, improving the government system, regulating businesses, work for women, improving health, and trying to conserve natural resources.
Bernie Sanders once said, “A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little” (“Bernie Sanders Quotes”). He was the runner up for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He seemed to be bringing forth a new era for the Democrats, one that would have been anti-corporation and would finally pass an effective Universal Health Care. Unfortunately for him , big business and the establishment Democrats won again. This election serves as a good example of the Democratic party - a party whose history goes from supporting slavery to enforcing justice and acting as a vessel for change, all the while sprinkled with corporate corruption.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been the majority party for more than 40 years uninterrupted, except in 1993 and 2009. In 1993, members of the party defected to form a new party, losing the majority control of the party, hence losing control of the government. This temporary loss of power gave reformers a chance at changing the Japanese political structure to include two main parties that regularly alternate power. In 2009 the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) won the majority seats. The LDP took back the majority in 2012. During DPJ’s tenure in power, the devastating 2011 Japanese earthquake occurred. When Prime Minister Noda Yoshihiko pushed through a controversial sales tax consumption increase bill through the National Diet. December of that year, the LDP was able to pressure Prime Minister Noda to dissolve the lower house, leading to the LDP gaining the majority. Then in 2013, the LDP reached majority in the upper house too, effectively taking back control of the government. The Diet has been lopsidedly dominated by the LDP over three or four other smaller parties that had practically no chance of controlling the government. However due to pressures from the LDP, the reformers were forced to compromise to retain certain aspects of the old system intact. Many experts believe that the electoral reform does not have a high chance of creating a two-party system that is like the US.
On a side note, I'm happy to say that a good portion of Sanders' supporters I've met at campaign events are completely dissatisfied with the Democratic Party. At several events, event organizers have asked those in attendance, "Who will vote for Hillary if Bernie doesn't get the nomination?" More often than not, at least half the room doesn't raise their hands.
With his announcement on August 2, 2015 Prime Minister Stephen Harper set in motion a 78-day election campaign, one of the longest and quite possibly the most expensive in Canadian history (Maloney, 2015). The structural constraints posed by the first-past-the-post electoral system, and the institutional constraints of the parliamentary system and campaign spending legislation were all potentially beneficial to Harper and the Conservative Party, but his underestimation of strategic voting and the power of social media, combined with his use of polarising debates and the decision of many popular incumbent Tory MP’s not to run, led to his party’s downfall and the creation of a Liberal majority government. This essay delves deeper into the factors behind the Conservative Party’s loss in the October 2015 Canadian election, in an attempt to understand why they were unable to secure a fourth mandate and come out first-past-the-other parties.
After 11 consecutive years of being in power, the Conservative Party led by Mr. steven harper which believed in individual responsibility economically have been defeated during the election. They were defeated by the Liberal Party led by Mr.Justin Trudeau The Liberal Party believe the government has responsibility for helping families, individuals, and communities who have economic difficulties. They also believe in creating social programs that support the communities such as the welfare system. It is a system that gives money to people
The surprising voter turnout at these elections is a powerful example of the upsides downs happening in politics and it is illustrative of what makes politics interesting as we can never be too sure of what may happen: new government elected, fresh start for Canada, the path towards a new political future is activate in order to preserve an ideal democracy every citizen hopes
Opposing the belief that a dominating leader is running Canada, Barker brings up several key realities of the Canadian government. He gives examples of several “… instances of other ministers taking action that reveal the limits prime-ministerial power,” (Barker 178). Barker conveys the fact that Canada is not bound by a dictatorial government, “…it seems that the prime minister cannot really control his individual ministers. At times, they will pursue agendas that are inconsistent with the prime minister’s actions,” (Barker 181). Both inside and outside government are a part of Canada and they can remind the prime minister that “…politics is a game of survival for all players,” (Barker 188). Barker refutes the misinterpretation of the Canadian government by acknowledging that a prime-ministerial government existing in Canada is an overstatement.
Q-1: The support of religious conservatives leaning more towards the GOP rose during Reagan’s 2-term presidency and the years that followed. By capturing the religious right, Reagan set precedence for expanding the conservative base of the Republican Party (McAdam and Kloos 212). By stressing their activist and organizational movement skills, the Christian Right were able to develop and solidify more of an influence over the GOP, pushing the GOP in a rightward direction.
