On October 20th 2024, Moldova held a presidential election and a referendum, supposedly on the question of integration into the EU. The referendum passed with a slight majority – 50.35% vs 49.65%. Two rounds of a presidential election were also held in the country, with the EU favored candidate Maia Sandu winning. While many observers have interpreted the results as indicative of the country being divided between a pro-EU and pro-Russian faction and Russia's meddling in the elections, the situation is far more complex.

Wegen eines EU-Referendums war Moldau zuletzt in den Schlagzeilen. Eine hauchdünne Mehrheit hat sich dafür ausgesprochen, dass ein angestrebter EU-Beitritt in die Landesverfassung geschrieben werden soll. Das bedeutet aber auch: Fast genauso viele Wähler waren dagegen. Politisch ist das Land gespalten - wie sieht es beim ESC aus? Und wie ist überhaupt die Stimmung im Land und beim verantwortlichen Sender mit Blick auf den Musikwettbewerb? Außerdem steht der Junior ESC 2024 vor der Tür.

Die Sicherheitslage der Republik Moldau hat sich seit dem Start des Ukrainekriegs im Jahr 2022 verschlechtert. Aktuell erlebt die Gesellschaft zudem ein Ringen um die zukünftige Ausrichtung des Landes: Nach Osten Richtung Russland oder nach Westen Richtung EU? Im Herbst 2024 werden bei Präsidentschaftswahlen und einem EU-Referendum wichtige Weichen gestellt. In dieser Jubiläumsfolge des History&Politics-Podcasts sprach Katja Fausser mit der moldauischen Osteuropahistorikerin Svetlana Suveica über Loyalitäten und Identitäten in dem Grenzland Moldau: Welche Folgen der vergangenen, gewaltsamen Grenzverschiebungen in der Region befeuern die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung über die Zukunft der Republik Moldau?

Nissan's devotion to electrification and manufacturing in Britain, is compelling. Huge recent investments underline the company's green plans and long-term future in the UK. Will domestic suppliers benefit as the switch over to electric bites and new, high-volume components are needed? By Will Stirling It's June 2016 and the EU Referendum result is in. Shock: the British public voted to leave the European Union. Pandemonium ensues. Prime Minister David Cameron resigns. The cost of exports to the EU will certainly rise. A business story sharp in the memory was Nissan's then Chief Executive, Carlos Ghosn, warning that the carmaker could stop investing in its Sunderland plant if EU export tariffs were imposed once the UK left the bloc. New PM Theresa May made a famous deal with Nissan to neutralise the effect of Brexit on its trading conditions. But for a moment, Nissan – with the UK's biggest car plant – had a public wobble about its future here. Fast forward to March 2024 and things could not be more different. Carmakers are seemingly vying to be the greenest on the market, but Nissan's net zero plan is surely hard to beat. Last November, Nissan heavily ramped up its EV36zero strategy, a roadmap to electrification that it had launched in 2021. The roll call of investments was eye-catching. The company will build three fully electric models at its Sunderland plant as part of a new £2bn investment, which is on top of the £1bn it had already committed under EV36zero to create an electric vehicle (EV) hub.  More battery gigafactories are planned; with AESC Envision's original battery plant, there will be a total of three gigafactories in Sunderland by 2030. “There will also be a renewable energy microgrid, that will deliver 100% clean electricity for both Nissan and the suppliers around the plant, further action to accelerate that journey to carbon-neutral manufacturing,” said a press spokesperson for Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK. The third gigafactory will be needed to supply the expanded Sunderland plant and may have the capacity to sell batteries to other OEMs. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said of the investment: “This venture will no doubt secure Sunderland's future as the UK's Silicon Valley for electric vehicle innovation and manufacturing.” Many UK customers know the Leaf, the first mainstream electric car to be built in the UK, and for EVs, Nissan also produces the Ariya and the Townstar small electric van. More than one million Nissan EVs have been sold to date, and more than one-third of their batteries were manufactured at the AESC Envision plant, in Sunderland. The ‘Nissan Ambition 2030' strategy's aim is that all passenger car sales will be EVs in Europe by 2030. As well as the multiple carbon-cutting projects in Sunderland, where over 6,000 people are employed, Nissan recently unveiled three new head-turning concept electric vehicles (not for manufacture in the UK): Nissan Hyper Urban, Hyper Punk, and Nissan Chill-Out. The job of these futuristic concept cars is to inspire take-up of the new production EV models. In fact, Chill-Out will be the design for the next-gen Nissan Leaf. At the launch event on 24 November 2023, Nissan's global president and CEO Makoto Uchida, said: “Exciting electric vehicles are at the heart of our plans to achieve carbon neutrality. It means our UK team will be designing, engineering and manufacturing the vehicles of the future, driving us towards an all-electric future for Nissan in Europe.” As a nod to the prevalence of greenwashing, Uchida-san spoke of ‘Nissan Ambition 2030' being not a slogan, but a reality. “We have a vision of exciting electric vehicles, a vision where your car can help your community manage energy, a vision where Nissan becomes a truly sustainable company, where our actions have a positive impact on the environment.” In addition to the late 2023 investment, the UK government awarded £15m of funding for a £30m collaborative project led by Nissan to support its carbon-cutting programme. e-POWER offers a hybrid solution And it's not all about pure electric, as hybrid vehicles have proved popular while EV price tags remain high. Seen as Nissan's answer to mild hybrid, e-POWER is its unique electric-drive powertrain that integrates a petrol engine that generates electricity, and a motor that transfers the power. Since its debut in September 2022, more than 100,000 vehicles powered by Nissan's e-POWER have been delivered. e-POWER utilises motor control technology cultivated in past EV development activities, powertrain integration technology and energy management technology. By changing the combination of electric-drive motors and power-generation engines, it delivers quiet driving with excellent response over a wide range of vehicles from compact cars to minivans and SUVs. Manufacturing and supply chains By investing in three new all-electric models and the total £3bn now being invested in EV36zero; jobs and prosperity from Nissan Sunderland are assured for decades to come. The batteries, the most substantial component in an EV by value, will be supplied by Nissan's gigafactories. Britain needs more battery capacity to satisfy future production. As part of the three new EVs announcement, Nissan said it had initiated a feasibility study to explore potential further gigafactory investments in the UK. Nissan's batteries are an NMC design, nickel manganese cobalt, rather than other primary mainstream battery designs like LPF – but in fact, both are lithium-ion batteries. This could potentially boost demand for UK-sourced lithium, from suppliers like Imerys British Lithium, because from 2027, materials and parts sourced outside the UK and EU will face tariffs under the EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. A problem for UK and EU battery makers is the rising cost of materials, especially lithium.  But these vehicles also need power electronics, motors, inverters, transmission systems, DC converters, charger ports and other electromechanical parts. Nissan's UK business supports hundreds of component suppliers and is hugely valuable to the UK automotive industry, and the economy of the North East. Tier one suppliers such as Adient (seating), Unipres, which make press-formed and hot-pressed automotive components and body mountings are co-located at the Sunderland site. Under the bonnet, however, electric vehicles need different and fewer components. How will the switch to EVs affect Nissan's suppliers, which rely on tens of millions of pounds in contracts? “Our work on just transitions suggests that workers in the North East are more confident about the transition to making EVs than workers in the West Midlands,” said Professor David Bailey, Professor of Business Economics at the Birmingham Business School and a senior fellow of the ESRC's UK in a Changing Europe programme. “The commitment of Nissan to EV production and sourcing locally made batteries is a large part of that, with a benefit to the local supply chain.”   “And yet there are still challenges,” Bailey adds. “Nissan production has picked up from the lows of the Covid pandemic but is still at something like 2/3rds peak production back in 2016. Furthermore, looking forward to the switch to making EVs will need far fewer components than making ICE cars. That will mean fewer jobs in the local supply chain. Diversifying the supply chain will be crucial for maintaining manufacturing capacity and ensuring a just transition.” Carmakers compete to be green As sustainability is a much stronger criterion for consumer purchases now, car companies compete to show their low-carbon, sustainable business credentials.  In an analysis by information site Eupedia, that averaged the ‘green' rankings of car and tyre makers by different organisations' green monitors, including S&P Global and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Nissan ranked 9th among 22 car OEMs. It scored 100% on all CDP metrics but scored 70 on the CSRHub, while the top 10 scored from 82 to 95.  CSRHub provides ratings of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) using 12 indicators of employee, environment, community and governance performance. Nissan's new Ambition 2030 is likely to pull up these scores when the green and governance actions have had time to bed in. Certainly, Nissan's devotion to green vehicles is a welcome boost to the EV industry, which is suffering. Private sales of EVs have slowed – 2023 orders were flat in 2022, according to the SMMT, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. A recent House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee report on the EV industry says the UK's EV strategy needs a recharge. Some of this is due to a seemingly coordinated anti-EV campaign in the media. Quentin Willson, the former TV motor journalist, writes in Just Auto: “Anybody remotely involved with EVs, and electrification, will have seen relentless anti-EV narratives in the media over the last two years. Some papers run an anti-EV story every day – literally.” Public opinion and public relations to promote EV's benefits both need to move for the important changes happening at Nissan UK and elsewhere to realise their full potential.

In this episode of the Data Malarkey podcast, data storyteller Sam Knowles talks to Andrew Cooper, President and Senior Advisor at Yonder Consulting. A research, data, and insights man through and through, Andrew founded the market research company Populus more than 20 years ago, which helped to reinvent the way polling is done in the wake of the 2015 UK General Election.   Andrew ran research and polling and then strategy and political operations for the Conservative Party, either side of the 1997 Labour landslide for more than three years, and served as director of strategy to David Cameron in the Prime Minister's Office for almost three years in the coalition government. Thanks to that service, Andrew became Lord Cooper of Windrush and has sat in the House of Lords for almost the last nine years. Today he splits his time between pollsters Populus, his new venture, Yonder, and the House of Lords.   Our conversation was recorded remotely, via the medium of Riverside.fm, on Friday 26 May 2023.   Thanks to Joe Hickey for production support.   Podcast artwork by Shatter Media.   Voice over by Samantha Boffin.   Two unexpected topics start this discussion: (i) Andrew and Sam's shared love of ironing (to which Sam adds washing up and mowing the lawn, as activities with a defined endpoint), and (ii) the fact that Andrew now sits as a politically non-affiliated member of the second chamber despite years of working for the Conservative Party. His decision to go independent was thanks to the Tories becoming increasingly hard line – the de facto Brexit Party – in the wake of the 2016 EU Referendum, and “with malice aforethought”.   Although he did a degree in economics at the London School of Economics, Andrew stayed away from the mathematical side of the subject. He only fell into working intensively with data when he started working in political polling. As US President Lyndon B. Johnson is said to have said, “The first rule of politics is that you need to be able to add up”.   Andrew explains his approach to making sense of political (media, and consumer) intentions and choices by building a geodemographic model that brings together: census data, historical polling data, psychological archetypes from the BBC Great Personality Test, and a growing array of other sources. His Clockface model maps attitudes and behaviours on the two critical dimensions of security and diversity. The model explains the often bitter disagreements evident in politics everywhere and reveals “how Brexit broke the structure of British politics”. This reaction to the impact and realities of globalisation has been played out in countries around the world.   The TV programme that best sums up Britain – that appeals to all groups, irrespective of where they fall on the security x diversity axes – no matter whether they voted Remain or Leave in the EU Referendum – is … Love Island. Peep Show and Black Mirror are in Remain heartland, while Mrs Brown's Boys is slap-bang in the middle of Leave's core support.   Andrew unpicks the success of Leave's chief architect, Dominic Cummings, and his “£350m a week to the NHS” trap, contrasting it with Remain's inability to find a credible alternative number with a positive spin that captured the reality of the benefits of Britain's membership of the EU.   EXTERNAL LINKS Andrew on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcooperpopulus/   Yonder Consulting and the Clockface – https://yonderconsulting.com/clockface/   Lord Cooper of Windrush – https://members.parliament.uk/member/4327/contact   To find out how you rank as a data storyteller, complete our data storytelling scorecard at https://data-storytelling.scoreapp.com.

On this day in 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. However seven years on, polls show that a majority of Brits now regret their decision. But how do the people in the town of Boston in South Lincolnshire feel? They voted 75% leave; the highest Brexit vote in the whole of the UK. Our Chief Reporter Barry Whyte has been to the town to find out…

The Small Data Forum podcast was created spontaneously and almost accidentally after your three co-hosts met on a panel at a media industry event in 2016, a few weeks before the EU Referendum. After a lively debate featuring sometimes radically-divergent views to keep our audience entertained well past the scheduled end time, seasoned podcaster Neville Hobson suggested to podcast ingenus Thomas Stoeckle and Sam Knowles that our ramblechats might work rather well in pod land. Who were we to argue? And so it came to pass – with Thomas' wry titling – that the Small Data Forum came into being, with the inaugural episode dropping on 14 June 2016. Since then, we've taken a more-or-less-monthly, sideways look at the uses and abuses of data big and Small in politics, business, and public life.  Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/

This week, we are joined by Rob from Podcasting is Praxis to do a post-mortem of the past five years since the EU Referendum in 2016. We take a trip down memory lane, reliving the strange and barely believable events leading up to and following the referendum and the broad political and cultural legacy of Brexit. We talk about everything from the emergence of the culture wars as the de facto mode of British politics, the rise of pro-EU grifters steeped in anti-leftism and dodgy funding, the way in which Brexit ended up spelling doom for Corbynism, and much more. /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Nikita Guests: CountRthe Production: Sarah Sahim Music: Cardio /// TPRMX - Beethoven - Ode to Joy Remix

Lord Sumption will discuss the impact on our constitution and political system of the referendum of 2016 and its aftermath.

At the end of November 1994, Norway voted in a referendum not to join the European Union. The issue had split the country, and Norway was the only one of four countries that had referendums on EU membership that year to vote against. A senior member of the Yes campaign, former Norwegian foreign minister and Labour politician, Espen Barth Eide, tells Louise Hidalgo about the night they lost.Picture: fishing vessels with banners reading "No to EU" in the harbour of Tromso two weeks before the referendum took place (Credit: Press Association)

In this final programme Melvyn Bragg celebrates the power of northern voices in our sporting life, and asks what being and sounding Northern means more generally - in a year which has seen what might be a traumatic and decisive shift in our politics, and in our sense of national identity. In the wake of the EU Referendum, new questions are being raised about the need for devolution in the north of England - the need for the north to have a stronger presence in our public life and politics.

However, Cromwell's ambitions were driven by his Protestantism whereas Henry was interested in securing his legacy and not making substantial changes to the national religion. In the event it wasn't Henry but his second daughter Elizabeth who enshrined Protestantism in English law, with a number of particularly English twists, not least the maintaining of the Cathedral system with its Choirs and Choral tradition that she loved. Very soon there were people complaining that she hadn't pushed far enough with her reforms... and it became clear that rather than break with Europe, the Reformers were keen on a united European religion in the form of Protestantism. Meanwhile, in the longer term the country was split so profoundly that it's echoes were still being felt when the Civil War broke out over a century later. Guests included Pro Brexit MP Crispin Blunt, Pro Brexit Economist Ruth Lea, moderate remainer and briefly Brexit fixer Oliver Letwin MP and Prof David Runciman of Cambridge University. The readings are given by Anton Lesser. Producer: Tom Alban.

An expert panel (Dr Simon Usherwood, University of Surrey, Dr Joseph Lacey, University of Oxford, Norman Bacrac, Trustee), talk about the future of the UK after the EU Referendum. Chaired by Professor Evan Parker. Recorded on Sunday 24th July 2016.

John Wilson is joined by cultural figures including Phil Redmond, Val McDermid, Dreda Say Mitchell, Rufus Norris, Wayne Hemingway, Samuel West, Jane and Louise Wilson, George the Poet and Anthony Anaxagorou to discuss how Britain's creative community can and should respond to the divisions in British society exposed by the EU Referendum result. With an audience at The Royal Society of Arts in London, they explore whether Brexit presents an artistic opportunity, if it signals a retreat from European culture, how it will be reflected in the books, films, plays and music of the next few years, and what art can do to help us navigate the realities of post-Brexit BritainProducer: Dixi Stewart.

The UK's EU Referendum has split the country right down the middle. Not only that but in the aftermath, we've all started blaming each other. Who's fault is it? What's going on, and how can we get to the root of the issue? Andy and Glen talk about our ‘social reaction' to #EUReferendum, and about Glen's rant in the car.Support the show

In 1993, Denmark held a second referendum on greater EU integration, after a previous vote failed. But angry anti-EU demonstrators took to the streets of the capital, and riots followed. We speak to the former foreign minister who campaigned for a 'Yes' vote, and a former activist who protested against any Danish involvement in the EU, but who has since changed his mind about Europe.Image: Riot police in Copenhagen after Denmark voted Yes to ratify the Maastricht Treaty in May 1993.

So many theories. So many questions. Yet, mostly silence from those in charge... What is going on? We debate the following:  - Why does no-one seem to want to trigger Article 50?  - Back-stabbing galore: Have politicians been gambling the country for their own careers?  - Why were so many Billionaires / Extreme Capitalists supporting Brexit? - What's going on behind the smoke and mirrors?  - Some polls show that average voter, on both sides, appeared to be very uninformed or uninterested in informing themselves - Should the referendum have even taken place?  - Whats happening to our Parliamentary democracy?: Why are they quiet?   - Race-related hate crime on the rise since the result - Is this an unrelated blip?  - Farage's speech to the EU - Will it help or hinder our exit negotiations?  - Will Britain really leave the EU?   - When did you make up your mind which way to vote?  - Yes, there were good reasons to vote Leave!  - Why do so many of us choose to ignore expert opinion?  - Will your relationships with friends/family who voted differently forever be affected in some way?  - Some telling results from the Ashcroft report on voter polls  - Our favourite American, Donald Trump, also decided to opine and the Scottish responded brilliantly!  - All these and more..  Join in the discussions on our Facebook Page here: https://www.facebook.com/2SkepticalChaps  Link to all our episodes here: http://2skepticalchaps.libsyn.com/podcast  Twitter: @2scpodcast  Email: 2sc.podcast@gmail.com   

What is this strange thing called the Bilderberg Group? Is it something that we should we be concerned about? Or is it, as many people say, essentially just a "talking shop" for rich people? To put us in the picture, we welcome back to the programme Tony Gosling, investigative radio journalist and former BBC reporter. Tony, who came on TMR back in 2013 to discuss the "official" and "unofficial" histories of this infamous Group, now joins us to share his experience of covering the 64th Bilderberg Meeting, which was held recently in Dresden, Germany, between the 9th and 12th of June. We also discuss the political climate here in the UK following the EU Referendum, and the anti-Corbyn coup by the parliamentary Labour Party. (For show notes please visit http://themindrenewed.com)

"Remain" or "Leave"? What does the UK's EU Referendum—scheduled 23rd June—really amount to? Is it simply the opportunity for UK citizens to decide if Britain should stay in the European Union? Or is it something of greater significance, with broader and more serious implications? And just what is this thing called the EU anyway? Joining us, once again, to discuss these questions is Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former US Assistant Secretary to the Treasury for Ecomonic Policy, who explains the EU's beginnings as a project of the CIA, and assesses its current role as as an anti-democratic tool of corporate control. Whether or not a majority "leave" vote will actually lead to Brexit, Dr. Roberts argues that a decisive rejection of EU membership by UK citizens could embolden other EU member states to follow suit, thus precipitating the break-up of NATO, and in turn, bringing an end to Washington's crazy designs for a New World Order.
