Podcasts about Home rule

The U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend in what our guest calls “a watershed moment.” Now what? And how did we get here? Key questions Ryan asks the head of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Denver, Micheline Ishay. Then, Purplish explores the debate over home rule as Douglas County holds a special election Tuesday. Plus, Denver's tall, zigzagging yellow sculpture celebrates 40 years; we revisit a Colorado Wonders question asking how it came to be. 

What are the origins of the Irish War of Independence? What impact did the First World War have on Irish efforts for Home Rule? What was the mood in Ireland following the bloody Easter Rising of 1916? And, who was Éamon de Valera, the man who dominated the story of not only Irish politics in the 20th century, but also the entire story of Irish independence? As they launch back into the epic and tumultuous Irish War of Independence, Dominic and Tom are joined once again by historian Paul Rouse, to discuss one of the most important conflicts in the history of Britain.  The Rest Is History Club: Become a member for exclusive bonus content, early access to full series and live show tickets, ad-free listening, our exclusive newsletter, discount book prices on titles mentioned on the pod, and our members' chatroom on Discord.

Voters in Douglas County are deciding whether to become a home rule county. With ballots due June 24, the issue is stirring up a lot of strong feelings, amidst competing claims about what it would mean for this fast-growing part of Colorado. County commissioners say home rule status would give Douglas County more legal standing to fight back against Democratic policies coming out of the State Capitol. But the experience of Colorado's only two existing home rule counties shows that home rule is more complicated, and less far reaching than they may hope.On this episode of Purplish, CPR's Stephanie Wolf joins CPR's Bente Birkeland to break down home rule: from how the idea got its start in an armed conflict on the steps of Denver's city hall, to the role it's playing today in the fight over housing policy.You can read the full story here.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state. Funding for the Alliance is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.This episode was edited by Megan Verlee and sound designed and engineered by Shane Rumsey. Our theme music was composed by Brad Turner. 

The Home Rule Festival and Positive Force's 40th Anniversary celebrations will allow music fans to explore the past, present and budding future of homegrown music in the D.C.-region.

I was so unconvinced by either of my guests the other day regarding whether to vote yes or no on Douglas County Home Rule (and, to be clear, I don't vote in DougCo) that I'm doing it again. Two guests, one after the other -- not at the same time, offering their views. This time the "no" side goes first.

Mandy talks about why you should vote no on Home Rule for Douglas County with former County commissioner Steve Boand, she spoke with Mark Perez about competing in the international dragon boat championships, Jefferson county schools being investigated by the Department of Ed, the drama around a proposed Buc-ees in Palmer Lake, why non-Thai people can't have Thai hot, what childless, non working people on Medicaid do with their time, and why teaching kids to hate America has made them hate America.

MORE ON WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON DOUGCO ON HOME RULE I've said it before, I am NOT opposed to the concept of moving Douglas County to a Home Rule style of governance, but I am very much opposed to the way this is being handled in Douglas County and will be voting no. If you need more reasons to vote no, listen up at 1 when longtime GOPer and former County Commissioner Steve Boand joins me with a list of reasons.

To see disenfranchisement in action, look no further than Washington DC, whose 700,000 residents pay the highest taxes per household in our nation and yet have no voting members in the U.S. Congress. This inequity has persisted through both democratic and republican administrations and is intensifying in the 119th Congress and the Trump presidency. For almost 3 decades, DC Vote, a local nonprofit with national reach has led the movement for DC Statehood. It achieved the passage of Home Rule, but our elected leaders still do not control their budgets, and their legislation can be overturned by members of Congress who do not respect the right of a majority Black and Brown citizenry to govern itself. In this episode of Power Station I speak to DC Vote's Organizing Director Kelsye Adams whose political savvy and organizing know-how is generating powerful pro-statehood coalitions across the nation. Kelyse, an organizing superstar, co-founded Free DC, which invites everyone, not just the organizationally affiliated, to advocate for democracy. Along the way she found time to launch Long Live GoGo, which celebrates the official music of DC and catalyzes civic action at the  intersection of art, politics and culture. Listen and share!  

Send us a textMayor David McDavid brings decades of public service expertise to this revealing conversation about Zachary's governmental evolution. After examining the city's 15-year-old Home Rule Charter, McDavid recognized the need for updates that would clarify operations and improve efficiency as Zachary continues its growth trajectory.The proposed charter changes address several critical areas of governance. Council member residency requirements would be strengthened, ensuring representatives actually live in the districts they serve. Leadership protocols would shift, with the mayor pro tem running council meetings while clearly defining who takes charge during a mayoral absence. Department head residency requirements would be eliminated, expanding the talent pool Zachary can draw from for key positions."We're not asking people for millage or anything like that," McDavid explains. "We're just trying to clarify some things to make sure that the city operations are clear and more efficient." His pragmatic approach balances progress with fiscal responsibility, emphasizing that changes to compensation structures wouldn't take effect until future terms.Beyond charter reforms, McDavid shares exciting developments for Zachary's infrastructure and growth. From annexation plans that could extend city boundaries to the Mississippi River to new public safety radio towers improving emergency communications, his administration is laying groundwork for Zachary's future. Economic development initiatives are attracting new businesses while maintaining the city's clean, attractive appearance that continues drawing positive attention.As Zachary embraces its "Thriving '25" theme, McDavid's vision combines practical governance with ambitious growth plans. Don't miss this opportunity to understand how your vote on May 3rd could reshape how Zachary operates for years to come.

Over the weekend, the City of St. George voted for its leaders. Interim Mayor Dustin Yates was officially elected, as were city council members who took office unopposed or won their elections. Still, the election wasn't quite the outcome city officials hoped for, when voters rejected the proposed home rule charter.  Patrick Sloan-Turner, political reporter for The Advocate tells us about the irony behind this vote and what happens next.The Trump administration's crackdown on immigration has led to a string of arrests at colleges and universities. Across the country, immigration officials are targeting foreign students and professors, detaining them and often revoking their visas despite their legal statuses. While many had been involved in pro-Palestinian activism, some say their involvement was limited to online posts – or they had no traceable involvement at all. New Orleans immigration attorney Marco Balducci tells us more about what this says about First Amendment rights – or lack thereof – for non-citizens. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Ireland may have been England's first colony but, by the 17th century, Irishmen were carving out their own imperial legacies in India. Gerald Aungier, an ambitious East India Company official, saw Bombay as a new frontier for plantation and trade. Drawing from his family's plantation experience in Ireland, he laid the foundations for the establishment of the legal and economic framework that would define colonial rule in India for centuries. A hundred years later, John Nicholson, an Ulster-born soldier, became a symbol of British military might - and brutality. Known for his extreme violence during the 1857 uprising, Nicholson led savage campaigns against Indian rebels, earning both devotion from his men and horror from his enemies. His actions, once celebrated in Britain, are now remembered as some of the worst atrocities of colonial rule. At the height of the Raj, another Irishman, Lord Dufferin, presided over India as Viceroy. Deeply aware of Ireland's own history under British rule, he feared that Indian nationalism would follow the same path as Ireland's Home Rule movement. So, how did these Irishmen shape the empire that once subjugated their own people? Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, author of Making Empire: Ireland, Imperialism and the Early Modern World, to uncover the contradictions of Irish imperial history. _____________ Empire UK Live Tour: The Booze & Brews live show is going on a UK tour!

On the outskirts of East Belfast is a house that might be considered as one of the most important houses in modern Irish history; Craigavon House. Built for James Craig senior in 1870 to the designs of the Waterford-born architect Thomas Jackson it was once a glorious mansion but now sits in a state of semi-dereliction off the Holywood Road.For me, Craigavon House evokes the imagery of the Home Rule crisis in Ulster, whether that be the unveiling of Edward Carson as the leader of Unionism in September 1911 on the lawns outside, or whether that be the footage of Carson reading the text of the Ulster Solemn League & Covenant from the steps outside to assembled journalists in September 1912, or indeed the audacious gunrunning operation by the Ulster Volunteers in April 1914 which was planned and executed from the Billiard Room of this house. This place acted as a nerve-centre for Unionist's resistance to home rule in Ireland.However, it's history goes back much further than 1911 and I'm very grateful to have been shown around this wonderful house by Carol Walker – Director of the Somme Association – and I began by asking her about the origins of the house…Send us a textSupport the show

D.C.'s autonomy could be in jeopardy now that Republicans control the executive and legislative branches of the federal government.

While many District residents are concerned a Republican-led Congress could rescind the city's autonomy, not everyone sees doom and gloom. The chair of the Republican Party of D.C. Patrick Mara got behind the mic to explain why a Trump presidency will be good for the District of Columbia.Mara said public safety and concerns over crime could lead the federal government to assert more control of the city. He said he's heard from both Republicans and Democrats who blame the D.C. Council for not taking enough action."The council has to do a much better job on public safety....the Council is not seen in a good light on either side of the Hill," Mara said, who made clear he's a "staunch advocate" of D.C. Home Rule.He also weighed in on why more District residents voted Republican than in 2020 and 2016.Someone vandalized a kosher restaurant in D.C. this week in what may have been a hate crime.

Seventy-nine Sarasota truckers voted this weekend whether to join the Teamsters union. We have the details. Then: The crowd was big, the tone was raucous, and the battle cry was "Home Rule!". Gretchen Cochran reports from Anna Maria Island. Then: A developer will be allowed to tear down a historic building in downtown Sarasota - if the city doesn't manage to move it. This story is from Ramon Lopez. Next: Just weeks after the three-way scandal, Bridget Ziegler flexed her political muscle again on the school board yesterday. Finally: The vice mayor of Sarasota made a last-gasp effort to stop a major zoning amendment that changes what can be built along major thoroughfares in the city. Ramon Lopez reports.

For 112 years, Ohio has had Home Rule protections in its Constitution that give communities the right to determine their own policies on important issues involving governing. But during the past couple of decades, cities and towns throughout Ohio have seen some of their power erode as the state has increasingly taken control over key policies. In this episode, Ohio historian Tom Suddes talks about the tradition of local control in Ohio. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and podcast host, Jo Ingles, explore what is happening to local control now and changes that might lie ahead. And Rep. Sara Carruthers (R-Hamilton) talks about a piece of legislation she's sponsoring that would give some local control back to communities when it comes to cracking down on puppy mills.

On Monday this week, USF students in Tampa joined the Palestine protests that have erupted on campuses elsewhere in Florida last week, and on Wednesday organizers promised they would be back today, after a break on Thursday for graduation ceremonies. So what's happening today? Our news team will let you know. Then: Just weeks ago, the talk around Dakin Dairy Farm, one of the biggest agricultural operations in the region, was about closing down and selling the land. That raised the anxiety levels of community members fearing the land might be the next target for developers. Yesterday came a collective sigh of relief, and we have the details. Next: Home rule is guaranteed by the Florida constitution, but it's under attack by the state legislature. A grassroots organization in Manatee County called Save Florida Home Rule is preparing a rally this Saturday, and it seems hundreds of protesters will be there. 

Bank employees in Bradenton this weekend voted to join a union. That makes them among the first in the nation in that industry to seek collective bargaining. Then: Despite threats by the governor and university administrations, the wave of Palestine protests keeps spreading in Florida. Now it has reached the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida, and students met immediate pushback. Sister station WMNF has that report. Then: Today, Florida's six-week abortion ban goes in effect. We interviewed a Planned Parenthood executive to understand its impact. Next: Home rule is guaranteed by the Florida constitution, but it's under attack by the state legislature. A grassroots organization in Manatee County called Save Florida Home Rule is preparing a rally this Saturday, and it seems hundreds of protesters will be there. Finally: It looks like yet another spaceship will be landing near the heart of the oldest continuous rural settlement in the region. It brings not aliens to Old Miakka, but wealthy suburbanites who'd like to live the country life - but behind gates, and outfitted with three-car garages and pools.

Regardless of the outcome of the 29 May 2024 Election, a “federal push is going to be more and more urgent”. So says David Ansara, the CEO of the Free Market Foundation (FMF) . Speaking to BizNews after the launch of the FMF's campaign for Home Rule, he points out that the capacity of the State has been so fundamentally broken that it's going to take a “very, very long time” to fix. He also calls on the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) to “recognise its bargaining power” and adopt an “aggresive posture” - in the same way the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) would - before entering into a possible coalition. “And the campaign for Home Rule is suggesting that those demands should be aggressive spreading of political power and authority down to the provincial and local level”. As part of the campaign, the FMF has published a paper, ‘Ask Forgiveness, Not Permission: Practical Steps Towards Home Rule in South Africa,' in which it sets out the legal allowance of a fully-realised federal dispensation.

The United Way is as American as apple pie. It's a safety net for working families. But to some Sarasota and Manatee County commissioners, that charity seems to be the enemy. Our news team was at a Sarasota County Commission meeting in Venice to follow the commissioners' escalating war on social service providers. Then: Government-subsidized housing is essential for the lowest-income families in this area. So it should be welcome news that the Sarasota Housing authority is pushing hard for new construction. But there's one problem, as Ramon Lopez reports. Next: Home rule is under attack - particularly on Anna Maria Island. A protest this Saturday reacts to a big public construction project, and the possible dismantling of not one, but three beachside towns. Aria Lockman has that story. Then: New College trustees are expected to make two controversial decisions tomorrow - without any discussion. We're shedding light on what's probably NOT going to happen at that campus meeting. Finally: In other New College news, the campus administration is apparently trying to make sure it stamps out any remainder of woke. Florence Fahringer has that story.

The general elections of 1910 left Asquith's Liberal government dependent, to stay in office, on the votes of the Irish Nationalist MPs. The price of their support was a renewed attempt to drive through Home Rule for Ireland. That would recreate the Dublin parliament absorbed into Westminster over a century earlier. Gladstone had twice tried to introduce Home Rule but it had split the Liberals. The party then left it on the back burner. Now it was back on the front burner. The problem was that there was powerful opposition to Home Rule, in Britain, but also in Ireland, where Protestant opponents, especially in Ulster, went so far as to raise an armed force to resist it. That meant that Britain might find itself in the paradoxical position of having to use the military against people not for wanting to leave British rule, but to stay within it. The resistance had support in Britain, right up to the top of the Unionists, led by Andrew Bonar Law, the son of a Presbyterian minister from Antrim in Ulster. However, the Parliament Act, which Law referred to as the ‘Home Rule in disguise bill', meant that legislation could be driven through parliament without the agreement of the House of Lords, where the Unionists were in a powerful majority. Long debates led to no compromise. With the Parliament Act behind it, the Home Rule bill finally became law, as the Government of Ireland Act of 1914. But lack of support in the army for action against the Ulstermen left it uncertain it could ever be enforced. By then, though, other events had overtaken the whole issue. On 4 August, Britain joined what would become the Great War. Relations between Britain and Ireland would be relegated once more to the back burner.

This week on the Illinois REALTORS® Weekly Podcast we're welcoming in 3 members of our illustrious Government Affairs team to talk about Home Rule measures on the ballot in 3 different Illinois communities in the upcoming March primary elections.

As part of a weeklong series of stories, we're marking 50 years of Home Rule in the District.  President Richard Nixon signed the Home Rule Act on December 24, 1973 granting D.C and its residents to right to elect its own local government, which they did in November 1974. But Home Rule was and remains limited. For example, D.C. still does not have voting representation in Congress. Historian and co-author of Chocolate City: A History Of Race And Democracy In The Nation's Capital George Derek Musgrove gets behind the mic to discuss the compromises that led to the passage of the Home Rule Act. He will be joined by Arrington Dixon, who was elected to the very first D.C. Council to talk about what it was like to take on this historic responsibility. Then, WAMU's criminal justice reporter Jenny Gathright will discuss how today's political moves to limit D.C.'s autonomy follow an old playbook. Finally, President of the D.C. Young Democrats and co-founder of 51 for 51 Jamal Holtz talks us through the fight for D.C. representation in Congress and what comes next for D.C. self-governance. Could statehood be on the horizon?

On this episode of Talking History, we're looking at Gladstone and Ireland, and finding out how the Grand Old Man became a convert to Home Rule and tried to bring in justice for Ireland. Patrick Geoghegan is joined by Prof Matthew Kelly, Professor of Modern History, University of Northumbria; Dr Andrea Russell, Warden of Gladstone's Library; and Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid, Faculty Director of Education for Arts and Humanities and Senior Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Sheffield.

1910 was a year of battle between the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Which means a year of battle between the Liberals, with their (initially) huge majority in the Commons, and the Unionists with an equally massive (and entrenched) majority in the Lords. Two issues needed settling between them. Firstly, what would happen to Lloyd George's People's Budget, which the Lords had already rejected once. That would be the issue decided by the general election of January 1910. It was won by the Liberals, though only just and without an overall majority. However, with help from the Irish Nationalist MPs and Labour, they could form another government and resubmit the budget. Having seen the Liberals win the election, however narrowly, and faced with the threat of the king creating a load more Liberal peers to give them their own majority, the Lords caved and passed the budget. Secondly, it was time to settle the relationship between the two Houses of Parliament. Since the Lords couldn't be expected to vote to reduce their own powers, the government again turned to the king to have him create enough Liberal peers to force a measure through. He argued that it would require another election, so Brits were called to the ballot box again in December 1910, for the second time that year. Again, and for the last time in their history, the Liberals emerged as the biggest single party in the Commons, though again without a majority. Once more, with support from the Irish MPs and Labour, they could form a government. And, again, faced with the prospect of huge numbers of Liberal peers joining the Lords, the upper house caved, passing the legislation that massively reduced its say in politics. As their price for the support the Liberals needed, the Irish MPs were looking for renewed moves towards Home Rule, while Labour wanted to see more progressive measures adopted. And both groups had the presence in parliament to get their demands listened to. Which must have been painful for the women's movement. It needed influence to win the vote. Without the vote, however, it lacked influence. A frustrating Catch-22 position to be in. Illustration: The first page of the Parliament Act of 1911.

As Orleans gets ready to vote on a home rule petition to reduce pesticide use, some younger citizens have taken the lessons of local government to heart, using the political process to work for a change that directly impacts their future The petition appears as an article on the October 16 special Town Meeting and would enable Orleans to set its own guidelines for pesticides rather than defaulting to the state guidelines.

The running sore of British relations with Ireland was running still and just as sore. This time another Balfour, Gerald as opposed to his brother Arthur, but like him a nephew of the Prime Minister Salisbury who nepotistically appointed him, was pursuing a policy designed to address some Irish grievances, rather than simply tighten repression. That was made easier by the reduction in unrest and even of Home Rule fervour in Ireland, together with the loss of the iconic leader Parnell. Balfour felt it was legitimate to reward a quieter Ireland with concessions, while at the same time, it also helped reconcile the Irish to British power and even to undermine still further the demand for Home Rule. That, in turn, weakened the Liberals' and Irish Nationalists' position, since they were firmly committed to seeing an Irish Parliament recreated. Balfour would always claim, however, that these political advantages, while welcome, were never his main aim. Abroad, Britain sent a joint Anglo-Egyptian force out from Egypt to reconquer Sudan. That would complete the uninterrupted sting of British holdings or controlled territories across the whole continent of Africa, from South to North. It would also provide the opportunity, at the Battle of Omdurman, for a young lieutenant, Winston Churchill, to take part in the last significant cavalry charge in British history.
