Why You Shouldn’t Vote Ted Cruz In comparing climate change deniers to Renaissance polymath Galileo Galilei, calling them heroes that stick to their guns in the face of overwhelming pressure, Ted Cruz has forgotten to actually do the one thing he criticizes so-called climate alarmists for—actually look at the data. Apart from the fact that the presidential candidate seems to need a history lesson as to who exactly Galileo was and what he was prosecuted for, he could really benefit from practicing

The Black Vote: African Americans as an Interest Group The African-American community is comprised of 34 million people, and makes up approximately 12.8 percent of the American population (Barker, Jones, Tate 1999: 3). As such, it is the largest minority group in the United States. Yet, politically, the black community has never been able to sufficiently capitalize on that status in order to receive the full benefits of life in America. Today, African-Americans, hold less than 2 percent of

financial aid policies, emphasising the establishment of fair democratic elections in recipient countries. However, efforts to reinforce legitimate democratic governments in developing states have been largely unsuccessful. In the book Wars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous Places, economist Paul Collier examines how the international community’s obsession with democracy and elections has hindered the developmental process in what he has termed as the bottom billion countries.

Ed Miliband thinks that 16-year-olds are old enough to vote in elections while Lord Faulks believes that 16-year-old brains are too immature to vote in elections.

Ed Miliband holds these views because he wants young people’s voices to be heard. Also, he heard that there

Why should eighteen year old teenagers be able to vote? I personally think the voting age should be changed to twenty one years old. For example, the 2016 Presidential Election: Trump VS. Hillary. During the election, Trump discussed more than political issues, while Hillary discussed more issues with Trump rather than political issues. A lot of eighteen year old's didn't vote for Trump because they do not care about politics and about what's happening in our country. They focused one the non

The incumbent 44th President of the United States is my preferential candidate of choice for the upcoming November, 2012 Presidential election. Dissecting his views and actions on a variety of topical policy issues will illustrate that my support for my candidate is on target. Furthermore, data will show success of Obama’s policies. Leading economists, including New York University’s Mark Gertler called the economic climate Obama inherited “one of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression

more likely to vote than others? Several reasons that some people are more likely to vote than others. First of all, the ability to vote, because there are rules for voting. For example, the voter cannot be felons or immigrants, must be registered and must have the skills to vote; such as, having an education about the voting process. Second, people vote, because they are interested. This interest can be caused by individual benefits and expressing group membership. Finally, people vote, because they

Explain why the Hispanic vote is becoming more important in US elections (10 marks) Hispanics are a growing group in the USA in terms of politics, this can be seen through demographics, according to the 2000 census, they did form 12% of the population, but by the 2010 census this figure has increased over 16% (51 million people) this was due to immigration and birth rates, therefore over the years they have become more influential as they are now a larger proportion or the electorate.

essential age." Does the world have a democratic government that encompasses all of those answers? no. However, they all share one principle; the right to vote (choose a government). But an element of that answer contradicts the notion that a right to vote would lead to a government “by the people”. This essay will aim to illustrate how giving people a vote does not mean that a state would have a government “by the people” by analysing the problem in three areas: majority, minority and real-world statistical

the Right to Vote Between 1900 and 1914 In the 19th century, the voting system was classed as un-equal. In some parts of the world men could vote for who they wanted to govern them, whereas in other parts, only small groups of men could depending on their wealth and eminence.
