With a changing political landscape on the local, national, and global level, Maria and BrownTown discuss how and why Left and/or "progressive" policies are gaining more mainstream appeal, how movements are shaping platforms, and how to push elected officials to embrace a radical imagination for a more equitable future.The Alderwoman shares her background working in non-profit and grassroots movement spaces and the impetus to seeking her current position in City Council. The gang discusses the meaning and co-opting of the term "progressive," how access to basic necessities really isn't radical, the uniqueness of the 49th ward, and the interworkings of City Hall. They wrap by exploring the current state of the Chicago city budget in terms of police spending, the importance of demonstrated alternatives to push better legislation, and an intergenerational report on the Democratic National Committee in 2020.--Follow Maria on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Our panel included: Will Tanner, director of Onward and former deputy head of policy in No.10 Joe Owen, Brexit programme director at the Institute for Government Dr Gemma Tetlow, chief economist at the Institute for Government Giles Wilkes, senior fellow at the Institute for Government and former special adviser to Theresa May. The event was chaired by Bronwen Maddox, director of the Institute for Government. There was an opportunity for questions from the audience.

In the final episode of our podcast this season, we analyse the general election. We take in the result, overall and at the constituency level, and talk about the big wins and upsets of the night. We move on to examine how this result will affect higher education, as well as the rest of the nation.

With such a significant mandate, the UK is now leaving the EU and the political landscape has been ripped up. We unpick the election result, the key moments throughout the night, its implications for Brexit, the future of the Labour party, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish Nationalists, the future of the union and more.

The Green Room: What happens when you put two energy experts in a room and ask them about the upcoming UK general election. James, Nick and Harri are today discussing the political agendas of all the main political parties, and getting to the bottom of what we're being promised. How soon can we be carbon neutral? How many trees should we be planting? How much should we be investing on improving the energy efficiency of our buildings?   _________________________________________________________________________________________________   WHAT ARE THE BIG ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT ISSUES FACING US IN THE 2019 UK GENERAL ELECTION?   Cutting emissions All the main parties want the UK to move toward being carbon neutral, but they have very different timelines on when they think we can achieve this.   Improving UK housing stock A huge number of buildings in the UK are woefully underinsulated, making them very inefficient with energy. Politicians are aiming to tackle this in many different ways, with wildly different levels of priority and expenditure, and significantly different focuses.   Transportation Whether it's investing more in cycle lanes and buses, or ending the sale of petrol and diesel car in favour of electric vehicles, the future of the British transportation and how it affects the environment is a policy for all the parties.   Renewable energy There's a lot of variation between the party positions here, including policies on nuclear power, wind farms, fracking, and more. Where does our energy come from and what should we be investing in? _________________________________________________________________________________________________   Read the Party Manifestos: Conservatives Labour Liberal Democrats Green Party SNP Plaid Cymru

I talk with historian and YouTuber Christo Aivalis about the upcoming Canadian election, and where the NDP fits in.

This fall Livingston Parish voters will have a full ballot as they turn out to elect state, parish, and local officials. LPN Publisher and Editor McHugh David breaks down the races for the October 12 election.

Politics is not zero sum game. We learn the wisdom from the result. Today, I introduce the summary of the upper house election. Teens turn out rate drop 14 points from last time. The average of the turnout rate was 48%. It means majority didn't go to the vote. This rate was the second worst number after the WWⅡ. As a result, the coalition kept the control in the Upper house. The number of the seats didn't make a radical change. But, the coalition couldn't leach the two thirds of the seats which allow them to change the article in the constitution. Let's look at the blight side. First openly gay politician won the seat. Taiga Ishikawa is the 45 years old male. In Japan, gay marriage is yet illegal. PM Abe idealise traditional marriage style which within male-female sex. Ishikawa said to the REUTERS “Since the early 2000s, the issue of same-sex marriage has progressed leaps and bounds. It will happen within the six years of my term, I am sure.” Last year in Taiwan, President Tsui leaded same-sex marriage legally. Ishikawa said, ”It has been incredibly empowering to the Japanese LGBT community to see the growing acceptance overseas of same-sex marriage, I think we've got a breakthrough now and I plan to move the conversation (on same-sex marriage) forward.” First two disabled politician from Reiwa Shinsengumi. Reiwa Shinsengumi candidates Yasuhiko Funago, 61, who has Lou Gehrig's disease, and 54-year-old Eiko Kimura, a cerebral palsy sufferer, were elected. This time, Reiwa Shinsengumi's leader Yamamoto, 44, who came third, failed to retain his seat in the House of Councillors. "Taro Yamamoto may have lost his parliamentary seat, but Reiwa Shinsengumi made a huge advance," said a smiling Yamamoto at a press conference last Monday. The grassroots group now qualifies as a political party eligible for subsidies as it cleared the hurdle of gaining 2 percent or more Nearly 5% of the entire votes cast nationwide in the election. It is the first time since the current electoral system was introduced in 2001 that a group that is not a major political party under relevant election laws has won a parliamentary seat under the proportional representation system. Finally, this is not the joke. But, the name of the party is The Party to Protect the People from NHK. The leader, Takashi Tachibana is the former staff of the NHK. This party has no clear agenda except “Destroying NHK”. Recently, the NHK sued the big hotel market Toyoko-inn due to the unpay of receiving fee. The Tokyo High Court declined the final appeal of Toyoko-inn that ordered to pay 19 billion Yen. What is the receiving fee? If you have the TV in your property, you need to pay the certain amount of the money to the NHK staff who ask for the fee door to door until you pay. The Japan's Broadcast law require you to pay the money. So, is the NHK worth paying? I don't think so. Japanese love watching TV more than any other country. Here is a survey that shows average TV consumption by country. Japanese people watch TV 262 minutes per day. America, Poland and Japan is the third on the list. You might saw NHK's program about this election. It is tiring, boring and useless. They used to have the good News program but not any more. NHK's morning Opera tv show is really fun kind of like the Full House. (NHK had that show in 1987 with Japanese voice over)You lose the conversation if you don't watch it before the school or work. As a result, nearly 2% of the voters chose The Party to Protect the People from NHK. The next day after the election, NHK's prime news didn't mention the win of the both minority party today I introduced. Only the NHK's online news site showed “The Party to Protect the People from NHK won the seat” How ironic it is. I don't really like this party but they had a clear vision”Destroying NHK”. Please change their collapsed journalism.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Canada's newest Premier worries the Canadian federation is fractured, and is calling on the Trudeau government to not funnel nearly 70% of equalization to Quebec and supports resumption of interest in Energy East and challenges Trudeau's national carbon tax. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the program for a year-end look at the Carbon tax, Western Canada's energy sector, the Trudeau government. And then Premier Moe discusses the coming court case in which Saskatchewan will challenge whether the federal government has the constitutional right to impose a tax over the specific objections of a directly affected provincial government. With a national election just 10 months away, Roy talks with President and CEO of Ipsos Darrell Bricker, to find out what Ipsos has heard from Canadians. How are Trudeau and the federal Liberals holding up, in the public's opinion? A massive truck convoy is in the works, to travel from Western Canada to Ottawa as a visible and audible expression of Western frustration with the Trudeau government's indifference for the energy industry. In May of 2009 Bela Kosoian was a University of Montreal law student, and a multilingual immigrant from the former Soviet Union. Kosoian failed to hold the handrail on an escalator in Montreal, and was challenged by a Montreal police officer. When she questioned why the officer was aggressive with her, she was confronted by a second officer at the bottom of the escalator. Bela was handcuffed, arrested and charged with ignoring a pictogram which told her to hold onto the escalator hand rail. The case has wound its way through Quebec courts over 9 years, including the Court of Appeal.  Now the Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the case. As with any Supreme Court decision, the impact will be nation-wide. Guests: Premier Blaine Higgs, of New Brunswick Premier Scott Moe, of Saskatchewan Darrell Bricker, President/CEO of Ipsos Nicole Wapple, of Rally 4 Resources, Alberta Bela Kosoian See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
