Democratic Unionist Party
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is the largest unionist political party in Northern Ireland. Founded by Ian Paisley and now led by Arlene Foster, it is the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly and the joint fourth-largest party in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.
The DUP has historically strong links to Protestant churches, particularly the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster (the church Paisley founded) and has traditionally been regarded as the more Ulster loyalist of the two large unionist parties. However, this influence has reduced somewhat under the Robinson leadership in an attempt to reach out to non-Protestants, particularly socially conservative Catholics.
Following on from the St Andrews Agreement in October 2006, the DUP agreed with the Irish republican party Sinn Féin to enter into power-sharing devolved government in Northern Ireland. In the aftermath of the agreement there were reports of divisions within the DUP. Many of its leading members, including Members of Parliament (MPs) Nigel Dodds, David Simpson and Gregory Campbell, were claimed to be in opposition to Paisley. All the party's MPs fully signed up to the manifesto for the 2007 Assembly elections, supporting power-sharing in principle. An overwhelming majority of the party executive voted in favour of restoring devolution in a meeting in March 2007; however, the DUP's sole Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Jim Allister, and seven DUP councillors later resigned from the party in opposition to its plans to share power with Sinn Féin. They founded the Traditional Unionist Voice in December 2007.

Democratic Unionist Party (Sudan)
The Democratic Unionist Party (Arabic: الحزب الإتحادي الديموقراطي, translit. al-Hizb al-Ittihadi al-Dimuqrati), lately referring to itself as the Original Democratic Unionist Party, is a political party in Sudan, closely tied to the Khatmiyya Sufi order.
Established in 1952 as the National Unionist Party (NUP), it is one of two political parties predating Sudan's independence, along the Umma Party. Founded by Mohammed Uthman al-Mirghani's Khatmiyya order and Ismail al-Azhari's urban nationalist Ashigga Party (est. 1943), it is often considered Sudan's oldest political party. Having won a clear majority in Sudan's first parliamentary election, al-Azhari became Sudan's first prime minister, who in 1955 declared independence from colonial rule.
The party broke apart in 1956, with the Khatmiyya order founding the new People's Democratic Party (PDP), but reunited in 1967, resulting in the current name. In 1986, DUP leader Ahmed al-Mirghani became President of Sudan until ousted by Omar al-Bashir's military coup in 1989. While the party's official leadership around Muhammad Uthman al-Mirghani remained in exile, the Khartoum-based Political Secretariat seceded in 2011, resulting in the rivalling "Registered" Democratic Unionist Party led by Jalal al-Digair.

What future for the European Union – Stagnation and Polarisation or New Foundations? (Part II)
What future for the European Union – Stagnation and Polarisation or New Foundations? Almost seven years after the outbreak of the financial and economic crisis, the EU economy is on the brink of a deflationary recession. Levels of unemployment are at unacceptably high levels, inequality is soaring, poverty and social exclusion have reappeared in European societies at levels that were unimaginable a few years ago. This is particularly true for Southern European countries like Greece and Spain, which were severely hit by the economic crisis and subjected to rigorous policies of austerity and structural adjustment. It is thus no coincidence that social movements and political forces like Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain have appeared in these countries that fundamentally question the p...

Red Mirage – How Blue Shift in Election 2020 Could Test American Democracy | QT Politics
If you're following the presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, you may have heard the terms “blue shift”, or “red mirage” to describe potential shifts in the balance of voting tallies, as they roll in on election night and beyond. While the blue shift phenomenon significantly pre-dates speculation about the 2020 election, its effects are anticipated to be far more extreme this November. In this video, I'll break down the origins and causes of the blue shift, and why the blue shift is so dreaded amongst some political analysts. Election law expert Rick Hasen, for example claimed that a blue shift could cause a “nightmare scenario”. So, let's talk about that: What's so scary?

America's Public Forum: Party Factions? Multiparty System? Beyond Two-Party Polarization

It has been clear for some time, that the major American political parties of our time, the Democrats and the Republicans, are quite internally diverse. Among Democrats there are vocal centrist and Blue-Dog Democrats, mainstream liberals, progressive Democrats, and even ascendant communitarian and democratic-socialist groups. Among Republicans there are old-line centrist moderate Republicans, libertarians of various stripes, traditionalists and religious conservatives, newly-ascendant nationalists, and classic business Republicans, and more. And there are even various groups outside these—Independents, third-party types, reformers—who have their own extrapartisan ways of making their voices heard. But in our polarized party system, with a clear red team and blue team, does this real diversity of political interests and passions and opinions have an adequate mode of expression? Do Americans of these diverse political identities have real power to express themselves when our elections, our media landscape, our politics itself, always seems to be focused like a laser on the question of R vs. D?
In the last few years, two books with very different views on this important subject have come out, and Braver Angels is proud and pleased to host the authors of both together in an America’s Public Forum event for their first friendly and insightful public debate on this topic. Steven Teles and Robert Saldin, from the center-right, have written “Never Trump: The Revolt of the Conservative Elites” and a series of follow-up essays, most importantly “The Future is Faction,” arguing that the two parties must become more deeply factionalized to bring stability and representation to American politics, and that the two-party system should not be overturned. Lee Drutman, from the center-left, has argued, in contrast, that the American political system is too diverse for a two-party system to make sense, and argues in “Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America” that a broad institutional switch to multiparty politics is the best way to express American pluralism. His essay “Let a Thousand Parties Bloom” is an excellent distillation of his argument. Drutman, Saldin, and Teles will present their arguments and assess each other’s contrasting approaches. Luke Nathan Phillips will MC the event.
With polarization at the level it’s at now, and with these noted political scientists’ years’ of reflection on our systemic issues, the America’s Public Forum program is proud to present a spirited conversation on this important subject. We will look forward to questions from Americans all over the aisle adding their voices to the conversation!

What future for the European Union – Stagnation and Polarisation or New Foundations?
Almost seven years after the outbreak of the financial and economic crisis, the EU economy is on the brink of a deflationary recession. Levels of unemployment are at unacceptably high levels, inequality is soaring, poverty and social exclusion have reappeared in European societies at levels that were unimaginable a few years ago.
This is particularly true for Southern European countries like Greece and Spain, which were severely hit by the economic crisis and subjected to rigorous policies of austerity and structural adjustment. It is thus no coincidence that social movements and political forces like Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain have appeared in these countries that fundamentally question the prevailing EU crisis approach and demand a fundamental change in economic and social policies. How can a new foundation for European integration look like and what measures are needed to enforce it? The presentation of the EuroMemorandum 2015 on march 5th, 2015 at the C3 - Centre for International Development in Vienna offered a critical assessment of the current state of the European Union and proposals for an alternative economic policy in the EU by an international panel of heterodox economists will address these issues.

An analysis of Ukraine, Russia, NATO and the US
In order to understand why Russia is making such a big deal about Ukraine and it’s potential membership to NATO, you have to understand why Russia is Russia.
There is one consistent problem with Russia’s geography, it’s western border is very flat. From the Ottomans to Napoleon to the infamous German Chancellor, Moscow getting sacked is a pretty frequent event in the grand scheme of things.
NATO was developed to protect against the Soviet threat and it clearly worked. So when the USSR collapsed, the countries that were formerly part of the USSR or it’s satellite states - They began joining NATO as they believed that the risk of being reconquered by Russia was clearly high.
There is this often repeated fiction about the fall of the USSR that NATO and the West betrayed Russia by allowing former soviet states to join NATO and if they hadn’t done that - Russia would be part of NATO and the EU, and a dear friend to all.
It’s certainly a better reality than the one we have but it’s just not realistic. Russia was just a world superpower who was feared by both the Chinese and the Americans. They weren’t suddenly going to settle to just being one of the great powers.
And that brings us to today.
Ukraine joining NATO would see NATO troops only 283 miles from Moscow. NATO troops are already on the border of Russia in Latvia and Estonia but that route is about 200 miles longer and they joined in 2004, back when Russia wasn’t strong enough.
TL;DR Of The History
Russia is deeply paranoid that NATO will push East and conquer Russia. It’s what Europe has done time and time again.
NATO and these former Soviet states are deeply paranoid that Russia will try to bring the USSR back. There are people who turned 30 this year who lived in the USSR, it wasn’t that long ago.

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Socialist Workers Party (United States)
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

America's Public Forum: Party Factions? Multiparty System? Beyond Two-Party Polarization
April 7th, 2021
MC'd by Luke Nathan Phillips, Braver Angels Publius Fellow for Public Discourse
Speakers:
Lee Drutman, Senior Fellow, Political Reform Program at New America
Steven Teles, Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University and Senior Fellow, Niskanen Center
Robert Saldin, Professor of Political Science at the University of Montana and Senior Fellow, Niskanen Center
www.braverangels.org
It has been clear for some time, that the major American political parties of our time, the Democrats and the Republicans, are quite internally diverse. Among Democrats there are vocal centrist and Blue-Dog Democrats, mainstream liberals, progressive Democrats, and even ascendant communitarian and democratic-socialist groups. Among Republicans there are old-line centrist moderate Republicans, libertarians of various stripes, traditionalists and religious conservatives, newly-ascendant nationalists, and classic business Republicans, and more. And there are even various groups outside these—Independents, third-party types, reformers—who have their own extrapartisan ways of making their voices heard. But in our polarized party system, with a clear red team and blue team, does this real diversity of political interests and passions and opinions have an adequate mode of expression? Do Americans of these diverse political identities have real power to express themselves when our elections, our media landscape, our politics itself, always seems to be focused like a laser on the question of R vs. D?
In the last few years, two books with very different views on this important subject have come out, and Braver Angels is proud and pleased to host the authors of both together in an America’s Public Forum event for their first friendly and insightful public debate on this topic. Steven Teles and Robert Saldin, from the center-right, have written “Never Trump: The Revolt of the Conservative Elites” and a series of follow-up essays, most importantly “The Future is Faction,” arguing that the two parties must become more deeply factionalized to bring stability and representation to American politics, and that the two-party system should not be overturned. Lee Drutman, from the center-left, has argued, in contrast, that the American political system is too diverse for a two-party system to make sense, and argues in “Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America” that a broad institutional switch to multiparty politics is the best way to express American pluralism. His essay “Let a Thousand Parties Bloom” is an excellent distillation of his argument. Drutman, Saldin, and Teles will present their arguments and assess each other’s contrasting approaches. Luke Nathan Phillips will MC the event.
With polarization at the level it’s at now, and with these noted political scientists’ years’ of reflection on our systemic issues, the America’s Public Forum program is proud to present a spirited conversation on this important subject. We will look forward to questions from Americans all over the aisle adding their voices to the conversation!

What future for the European Union – Stagnation and Polarisation or New Foundations?
Almost seven years after the outbreak of the financial and economic crisis, the EU economy is on the brink of a deflationary recession. Levels of unemployment are at unacceptably high levels, inequality is soaring, poverty and social exclusion have reappeared in European societies at levels that were unimaginable a few years ago.
This is particularly true for Southern European countries like Greece and Spain, which were severely hit by the economic crisis and subjected to rigorous policies of austerity and structural adjustment. It is thus no coincidence that social movements and political forces like Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain have appeared in these countries that fundamentally question the prevailing EU crisis approach and demand a fundamental change in economic and social policies. How can a new foundation for European integration look like and what measures are needed to enforce it? The presentation of the EuroMemorandum 2015 on march 5th, 2015 at the C3 - Centre for International Development in Vienna offered a critical assessment of the current state of the European Union and proposals for an alternative economic policy in the EU by an international panel of heterodox economists will address these issues.

If you're following the presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, you may have heard the terms “blue shift”, or “red mirage” to describe potential shifts in the balance of voting tallies, as they roll in on election night and beyond.
While the blue shift phenomenon significantly pre-dates speculation about the 2020 election, its effects are anticipated to be far more extreme this November.
In this video, I'll break down the origins and causes of the blue shift, and why the blue shift is so dreaded amongst some political analysts. Election law expert Rick Hasen, for example claimed that a blue shift could cause a “nightmare scenario”. So, let's talk about that:
What's so scary?

An analysis of Ukraine, Russia, NATO and the US
In order to understand why Russia is making such a big deal about Ukraine and it’s potential membership to NATO, you have to understand why Russia is Russia.
There is one consistent problem with Russia’s geography, it’s western border is very flat. From the Ottomans to Napoleon to the infamous German Chancellor, Moscow getting sacked is a pretty frequent event in the grand scheme of things.
NATO was developed to protect against the Soviet threat and it clearly worked. So when the USSR collapsed, the countries that were formerly part of the USSR or it’s satellite states - They began joining NATO as they believed that the risk of being reconquered by Russia was clearly high.
There is this often repeated fiction about the fall of the USSR that NATO and the West betrayed Russia by allowing former soviet states to join NATO and if they hadn’t done that - Russia would be part of NATO and the EU, and a dear friend to all.
It’s certainly a better reality than the one we have but it’s just not realistic. Russia was just a world superpower who was feared by both the Chinese and the Americans. They weren’t suddenly going to settle to just being one of the great powers.
And that brings us to today.
Ukraine joining NATO would see NATO troops only 283 miles from Moscow. NATO troops are already on the border of Russia in Latvia and Estonia but that route is about 200 miles longer and they joined in 2004, back when Russia wasn’t strong enough.
TL;DR Of The History
Russia is deeply paranoid that NATO will push East and conquer Russia. It’s what Europe has done time and time again.
NATO and these former Soviet states are deeply paranoid that Russia will try to bring the USSR back. There are people who turned 30 this year who lived in the USSR, it wasn’t that long ago.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
