The 2024 UK General Election was nothing short of exceptional. Labour achieved one of the largest majorities in the history of the House of Commons — yet on the lowest vote share ever recorded for a winning party. Meanwhile, the Conservatives suffered their most devastating defeat in modern political history.In this episode, we unpack the seismic shifts that led to this remarkable result. Why did the vote fragment across so many parties? What drove the electorate's choices in this cycle? And what happened to the underlying dynamics of voting behavior?To explore these questions, we turn to a special issue of The Political Quarterly, our partner journal, which dives into the election's implications and causes in depth.Joining us are three distinguished contributors to that issue:Professor Jane Green – Professor of Political Science and British Politics, University of OxfordProfessor Paula Surridge – Professor of Political Sociology, University of BristolMarta Miori– Research Officer on British Electoral Behaviour, PhD candidate at the University of ManchesterTogether, they provide expert insights into both the immediate drivers of the 2024 result and the longer-term transformations reshaping UK politics.Mentioned in this episode:Miori, M. and Green, J.

With a commanding lead in the Democratic Primary, Zohran Mamdani says he's now focusing his attention on New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Also, a slate of recently announced developments will create more than 700 affordable units in Coney Island. Plus, the MTA is making a small tweak to two lines that could bring big changes to riders. Meanwhile, residents in a small Queens neighborhood are in a battle over air quality. And finally, a new book dives into the stories behind thirty monuments and statues commemorating Black Americans around New York City.

Larry Ostola speaks with Patrice Dutil about his book, Ballots and Brawls: The 1867 Canadian General Election. Ballots and Brawls by Patrice Dutil explores Canada's first federal election in 1867, shortly after Confederation. The book vividly recounts the idealistic foundations laid in the 1864 Charlottetown and Quebec City conferences and delves into the chaotic and often violent summer election across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. Dutil highlights the key political and social tensions of the time—economic issues, taxation, defence, and cultural divides—while profiling major figures like John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier. Drawing on archival sources and poll data, the book provides a compelling, detailed look at the birth of Canadian democracy. Patrice Dutil is a professor of politics and public administration at Toronto Metropolitan University and a senior fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. He is the founder of the Literary Review of Canada and was president of the Champlain Society from 2011 to 2017. He is the author and editor of several books on Canadian politics and governance, including Statesmen, Strategists and Diplomats: Canada's Prime Ministers and the Making of Foreign Policy and The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent: Politics and Policies for a Modern Canada.

It's time to revise and expand on a topic that was covered in the series one episode “The Carnival is Over”.  It's the summerof 1970 and England are the reigning World Champions.  The Three Lions are one of the most feared and respected sides in world football.  Some of the stalwarts of 1966 – Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Martin Peters, Geoff Hurst – are regarded as having improved. Sir Alf Ramsey, England's inscrutable manager, has brought in a clutch of new faces – Keith Newton, Brian Labone, Terry Cooper, Alan Mullery, Francis Lee, Colin Bell. England have to cope with the Mexican heat and high altitude. There is also Latin American hostility and conspiracy theories, a hangover from 1966 when England were accused of ‘fixing' the tournament in favour of European teams and against South American teams. A stopover in Colombia goes disastrously wrong when Bobby Moore is arrested after being accused of stealing a bracelet.  England start their campaign with a robust match against Romania.  Then comes the epic, iconic match against Brazil.  It is widely assumed that this will be a dress rehearsal for the final.  England conclude their group programme with a dull game against Czechoslovakia.  After that is the quarter-final against West Germany, another memorable epic where Banks misses out due to food poisoning, but England seem to be cruising to victory at 2-0 before it all goes wrong.Meanwhile back home, Harold Wilson, the Prime Minister, is on the campaign trail, seeking to repeat his own success from 1966 by leading the Labour Party to another general election victory.  After four turbulent years, Labour have move ahead of Edward Heath's Conservative Party in the opinion polls.  However, the World Cup is preying on Wilson's mind.  A populist and a keen football fan, Wilson is taken with a “mystical symbiosis” between the government's fortunes and those of the England team.  He asks his Cabinet colleagues to consider the political ramifications if England were to be knocked out of the World Cup, shortly before polling day.  Wilson's relaxed campaign seems to chime with the public mood.  Labour maintains a consistent lead in the opinion polls, victory seems assured but just four days before the vote, England are knocked out of the World Cup…  TWITTER/X@MatthewOkot@WorldCupRamble Subscribe to World Cup Rambling on your podcast platform.

With the announcement of how the government is planning to spend money over the next year comes the question of how this will impact the National Party's chances of being re-elected into power in next year's General Election. When presenting her work to Parliament, Finance Minister, Nicola Willis, said that “every Kiwi knows this government has their back”. However, elements of the Budget have been criticised by opposition parties and various activist groups, with opposition leader, Chris Hipkins, calling funding decisions in the Budget “strange and unnecessary”. The Budget can play a major role in whether a government will be re-elected or not.  Labour's 1958 Budget, for example, which has since become known as the ‘Black Budget,' resulted in Finance Minister at the time, Arnold Nordmeyer, imposing additional taxes on cars, alcohol, and tobacco, in an attempt to limit the need for international goods during the payments crisis in late 1957. This caused political tensions, and as a result, Labour lost the 1960 general election after one term. News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Brian Roper — an Associate Professor in Politics at the University of Otago, about how Budget 2025 will impact National's chances to be re-elected, and his opinion on what party, or parties, will make up the next government.

Twenty-four hours after Keir Starmer announced a shift on fishing rights and closer alignment with the EU, the backlash has been fierce. Reform are already expecting to take seats from Labour in the next General Election thanks to the Brexit “reset” deal, with deputy leader Richard Tice accusing Starmer of having “surrendered the fishing industry” to the EU.On today's episode, Camilla and Kamal unpack the fallout from the Prime Minister's big “reset” and discuss the key moments from both his statement in Parliament and leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch's fiery response as the Tories slip to fourth place behind Labour, Reform and the Lib Dems in a major poll. And it was one of Britain's biggest medical scandals. Thousands were infected with HIV and hepatitis through contaminated blood products in the 70s and 80s, including children at a specialist school called Treloar's.

Last week's local elections marked a turning point for Reform UK. Nigel Farage's party gained control of councils for the first time, picking up hundreds of seats, many in once-safe Conservative areas. And in a shock Westminster by-election, they even beat Labour to claim their fifth MP in Runcorn and Helsby.The current national share estimate puts Reform on 32% - with Labour down to 19% and the Conservatives on 18%. And as the two main parties continue to tank in the polls, we're already hearing rumours of a watering down of the winter fuel cut to save Labour votes - and the potential ousting of Kemi Badenoch as Tory Leader after disastrous results at the polls.

Clare's elected representatives are being accused of not doing their bit to ensure roads in the west of the county meet basic standards. Cooraclare-based nurse June Dillon, who ran for Aontú in the 2024 General Election, is calling for urgent action on roads in the Kildysart, Killimer and Cree areas. The Kilrush Municipal District has been given the greatest funding allocation in the county for maintenance of local roads in 2025, with €8.56 million granted to the area - an increase of €40% on last year. June says road conditions in certain parts of the region pose a threat to vehicles.

"Preview: Colleague Conrad Black of the National Post remarks on the inconsistencies and poor rhetoric of the PM Mark Carney now facing a general election." 1842

She cherishes her MacPherson memories and reflects on her rough start to politics. Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah hunts for new perspectives on issues that matter to young people. In the lead-up to the expected general election that must be held by November 2025, Natasha looks at how MPs, and others involved, are preparing themselves. MacPherson MP Tin Pei Ling was PAP’s youngest candidate at 27 years old during the 2011 General Election when she was put in the spotlight – remember the Kate Spade bag episode? – it’s never quite left her. Since then, she has had, arguably, one of the most closely watched political journeys among MPs. From her pregnancies to career moves, she has drawn much public and media attention. In this episode, Ms Tin, 41, tells Natasha about how she deals with hate comments, her perceived job-hopping in the past few years, and why she hopes to be the MP for her current ward for a long time to come. And given the current geopolitical climate, she makes a case to young voters why her party would be the best choice now.
