Podcasts about political parties

The clock is ticking as Polling Day rapidly approaches. As the stakes get higher, candidates have also turned the intensity up a notch, making quippy back-and-forths, sharp-tongued rebuttals and pointed jabs at their opponents. Today, as we enter the mid-point of hustings, we’ll be taking a look at some finger-pointing over the past few days and find out what voters might take away from them. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speak with Dr. Mustafa Izzuddin, a senior international affairs analyst at Solaris Strategies Singapore to find out more.

When considering the absurdity of the ‘Weekend At Bernie's' Biden presidency and the ‘WWE Reality Wrestling' Trump presidency you are left wondering ‘how possibly can real people actually fall for this garbage?'When will enough citizens wake up and realize that modern day elections deliver no real change in the machinery of governance and only result in more consolidated power and wealth for the political and oligarchs elites?Meanwhile, average citizens remain poorer, sicker, divided and demoralized.Every so often I get out into the real world and realize just how radical it is to be solidly independent and equally critical of the two political parties in America.When I talk to regular people from all walks of life I realize how entrenched we are in the factional system while simultaneously hating it and peripherally aware that it's a corrupted one, delivering a false paradigm of ‘good' versus ‘evil' depending on what news media outlets you listen to or watch. Their instincts are RIGHT and supported by our founding fathers, including George Washington who stated this in his farewell address:"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." ~ George Washington, September 17, 1776When will America shed the factions?Is it even possible?We discuss this and more today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The federal election....from the "fringe". Most voters are familiar with the major national parties running in this election, such as the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, & Greens.But there are actually 16 registered political parties looking for your vote. Some of them are known as fringe parties, while others are upstarts, hoping to make an impact down the road. Today on The Big Story, we're shining a light on some of the lesser known parties in this campaign, and letting them have their voice heard as the country goes through the democratic process.Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with the Leaders of the Animal Protection Party, the Canadian Future Party, the Communist Party, and the Marijuana Party. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

Political parties are central to the functioning of representative democracy in the UK, playing a crucial role during and between elections. How parties fund their activities is thus a vital question, and one that has been much discussed in recent months. New controversies have shone a light on long-standing debates about who can donate to political parties, how much they can donate, and the transparency of their donations. So what are the strengths and weaknesses of the UK's party funding regulations? Are the current regulations sufficiently robust, fair, and transparent? And if not, how might they be improved? We discussed these questions with an expert panel.Jackie Killeen – Director of Electoral Administration and Regulation, Electoral CommissionLord (Mark) Pack – President, Liberal DemocratsProfessor Justin Fisher – Professor of Political Science, Brunel University of LondonDr Jess Garland – Director of Research and Policy, Electoral Reform SocietyChair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit Links:Website: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unitMailing list: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/get-involved/mailing-listBlog: constitution-unit.com

Friday Juma KhutbaApril 25th, 2025- We marked the wafat of Imām Ja‘far aṣ-Ṣādiq (a) and are nearing the federal elections. - Voting is essential for having a voice and shaping our future. - Imām aṣ-Ṣādiq (a)'s political stance varied based on context. - He supported Zayd ash-Shahid's uprising but rejected the ‘Abbasid movement due to insincere motives. - He warned his relatives against joining the ‘Abbasids, who later betrayed them. - Yet, he allowed Shi‘as like Najjāshi and ibn Hubayrah to serve as governors. - His guidance was case-specific; we can't generalize one stance to all situations. - A hadith advising Sudayr to stay home was context-bound, not a blanket rule. - Imām emphasized understanding context and deeper meanings in ḥadith. - Marāji‘ stress voting as a duty; not voting lets others decide your future. - In the West, Muslims can join politics if it serves community interests. - Vote for the lesser evil—support justice, especially for minorities.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Housing has emerged as a major issue in the lead-up to Australia's federal election, with both major parties offering competing plans to address the crisis. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has pledged a 5 per cent deposit scheme for first-home buyers and the construction of 100,000 new affordable homes. Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has proposed allowing first-home buyers to claim mortgage interest payments as tax deductions to ease financial pressure. However, real estate expert Professor Piyush Tewari from the University of Melbourne cautions that government-built affordable housing alone is not a sustainable solution to the broader housing challenge.

In this episode, Jeff analyzes President Trump's handling of negotiations with Iran and its terror proxies, as well as America's jihadist universities, and demonstrates that the desire for the bestest of deals doesn't always end with good results for America and its allies.

Former Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has highlighted the protection of whistle-blowers as one of the measures to fight corruption in South Africa. Speaking at the Nelson Mandela University's Fisheries Law Enforcement Academy's Anti-corruption Conference, Zondo also highlighted the importance of whistleblowers in the fight for a corruption-free South Africa and the role of the Government of National Unity.

American democracy is crumbling. The Republican Party, once defined by traditional conservatism, has transformed into a vehicle for Trumpism, while Democrats struggle to maintain their coalition after unexpected losses. Dr. Hans Noel, Associate Professor of Government at Georgetown University, and co-author of the book Political Parties, joins the pod to explain the complex forces reshaping our political landscape.According to Dr. Noel, while we're not experiencing a complete political realignment, significant shifts are occurring beneath the surface. The Republican Party hasn't abandoned conservative principles but has dramatically changed its emphasis - elevating immigration concerns and national identity while making loyalty to Trump personally a defining characteristic. Meanwhile, Democrats face their own identity crisis as working-class voters, once their reliable base, become increasingly divided.Gender matters here - and is critical dimension in this political transformation. Trump's aggressive masculinity appeals strongly to male voters across demographic groups, while Democrats attempt to counter with an alternative vision centered on care and inclusivity. This represents not merely an electoral calculation but a genuine values difference between the parties.The consequences for democracy are profound. When citizens become so frustrated with politics that they're willing to abandon basic democratic principles, the entire system becomes vulnerable. Dr. Noel maintains cautious optimism about democracy's long-term resilience but acknowledges the medium-term outlook appears concerning: "Long-term, Germany is a thriving democracy that went through a very tough period. In the medium term, including the rest of my lifetime, things could be really ugly."-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

GOOD Party Secretary General, Brett Herron says members of parliament who are part of the Government of National Unity seem confused about whether they are members of government or the opposition. Herron says this follows what he describes as a 'secret' trip by members of parliament in the GNU to Israel. He further alleges that the four MP's include two from the Democratic Alliance and another two from the Patriotic Alliance. Herron further questions the motive for the trip considering South Africa's posture in relation to the conflict in Gaza. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to GOOD Party Secretary General, Brett Herron

American politics are in a moment of major upheaval: a Republican president and GOP-controlled Congress are reshaping the federal government and expanding the limits of executive power. At the same time, federal Democrats are struggling with how to win back voters who feel their party has failed to deliver. And even as Republicans have this moment on the national stage, Colorado's GOP party is trying to catch up, hoping a new leader can bring some unity — and less havoc — for Republicans in the state.CPR's Bente Birkeland and The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul examine what new leadership could mean for the future of Colorado's Republican party. Then CPR's Caitlyn Kim joins to dig into how Colorado's Democratic members of Congress are looking to redirect the party ahead of the midterms.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.Purplish's producer is Stephanie Wolf. This episode was edited by Megan Verlee and sound designed and engineered by Shane Rumsey. Our theme music is by Brad Turner.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Results of last night’s special elections – a good barometer of Pres. Trump’s performance?  Special election races in Wisconsin and Florida were supposed to be an early barometer of President Trump's second term -- an indicator as to how the American people are feeling about the direction of the country under Trump. In the end though... it was a mixed bag of results. Republicans won their two congressional races in Florida -- albeit by smaller margins than Trump won in those districts -- and the Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court won. The Inside Sources hosts go into detail on the results and give their political analysis.    Pres. Trump tells Cabinet members that Elon Musk will soon step away  Is the curtain closing on Elon Musk's time as a close advisor to President Trump? Reports now say that the President has informed members of the Cabinet that Musk will be stepping away within the next few weeks. Politico Magazine reports that the President isn't angry with Musk by any means, but that top political advisors and high-up members of the Trump administration have grown worried about Musk's unpredictability and potential political liability.    Speaker Johnson cancels House votes for the rest of the week  The U.S. House of Representatives will not be voting on any more bills this week. No votes on the SAVE Act. No votes to address judges who rule against Trump. Why? Speaker Mike Johnson says his hands are tied because of a vote to take down a rule that passed with all Democratic and several Republicans support. The fight all comes over a push to allow proxy voting for new parents who are also members of Congress.    Two Utah political parties to join forces  Two of Utah's political parties are joining forces, hoping to make bigger waves against the traditional Democrat and Republican parties. Today, the United Utah Party and Utah Forward Party announced plans to merge operations. Will this make much of a difference in the state’s political scene? Listen to hear what Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider think.    President Trump announces new tariffs for ‘Liberation Day’  In a nearly hour-long speech at the White House, President Donald Trump announced new tariffs against many of the United States’ trading partners. Each country will see a 10% blanket tariff plus specific tariffs by country and industry. Inside Sources takes the speech in full and then spends a few moments discussing it.   

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Two of Utah's political parties are joining forces, hoping to make bigger waves against the traditional Democrat and Republican parties.

Listen to hear what Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider think. 

We won't know until after this election who has donated to the political parties for this campaign and how much they've handed over. But voters are sceptical, with some of our listeners questioning the role of billionaires in our politics. Evalyn from Bendigo in Victoria asked us about the mining magnate Gina Rinehart. What influence do donations to political parties get you?Today, Kate Griffiths from the Grattan Institute explains what we know about political donors. Featured: Kate Griffiths, researcher at the Grattan Institute

New Jersey Globe Editor David Wildstein talks about political parties in New Jersey. January 22, 2025

NI21 appeared to many as a great idea. But the enthusiasm and positivity did not last long and the party's collapse into chaos was a spectacular one. Just a day before the party's first electoral test in 2014 – the party decides that they are now agnostic on the issue of the border, it was then torn apart by controversy and infighting. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Sam McBride to talk about how the wheels came off NI21, where the party's leaders are now, and if a liberal unionist party could ever work. Hosted on Acast.

Today I'm responding to an X post from author and speaker Preston Sprinkle:“My political theology has allowed me to be so hopeful in this political season. I reject the empire, yet submit to it, because Jesus is king. I embrace and celebrate Christ's multiethnic kingdom and the many ways we are spreading good in the world. Christians should not be captivated by the binary political playing field that's been handed to us by Babylon.”I evaluate his frequent political claim that Christians are like exiles in Babylon (an analogy that fails greatly) and address why this quote represents an unbiblical view of politics.Get my new book When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square here: https://www.amazon.com/When-Culture-Hates-You-Persevering/dp/0736984313

Donald Trump is looking pretty invincible right now, and it's easy to lose hope that Democrats will ever be able to regain power. But back in the '90s, liberals in Britain were in a similar predicament. Alastair Campbell, right hand man to former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and co-host of the podcast "The Rest Is Politics," joins Tommy to discuss how the Labour Party vanquished the iron grip of Thatcherism, the importance of party rebranding, and how Democrats can reclaim populism in the age of Trump.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Also, federal prosecutors in NYC rightly quit in protest of the Department of Justice's political decision to dismiss the indictment against NYC Mayor Adams — but don't think for a second they're above politics in their own actions: exhibit A is the phony 3.5 year investigation of James O'Keefe.

When JD Vance used “drinking Diet Mountain Dew” to joke about how liberals are too easily offended and quick to point out what they perceive to be racist behavior, the large campaign event crowd barely applauded. But it wasn't because JD Vance is weird (and clearly not a comedian), the joke went straight over the head of mostly everyone because it was packed with multilayered symbolism. Regardless, it got me thinking about how politics and consumer packaged goods oftentimes get mixed together knowingly (and unknowingly). As an example, did you know conservatives prefer drinking A&W Root Beer compared to liberals with LaCroix? Or that liberals are more likely to eat plant-based meat and conservatives prefer sausage and hot dogs? What do both political parties agree on…that advertisements are a waste of their time!

Being a swing state, Arizona's politics are watched with a magnifying glass across the country. It's not just who wins – though that is definitely what matters most – but it is smaller things. Among the details that seem to move to the forefront is who leads the major parties. This serves a temperature check for how the parties are running and where they're trending. 2024 was a pretty good year for Republicans in Arizona, as elsewhere. President Donald Trump won the state and Republicans won in all other races that were thought to be a toss-up. Unsurprisingly, that left Democrats looking for changes in their state party leadership, despite holding office in all of the major roles in the state. The GOP stuck with a leader they didn't initially select two years ago, though she faced a challenge to keep her post. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by Kirk Adams and Sam Richard of Consilium Consulting, a Phoenix-based firm that handles lobbying and consulting.

What does it mean for a Christian to be "part of God's Kingdom?” How should this knowledge inform a Christian's view of politics, government, and general posture toward other countries? Pastor Brian Zahnd, of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri and author of a dozen books, joins the podcast to talk about the radical shift in how the church postures itself as part of God's Kingdom, stating the church should "not be of this world" (John 17:16). With a biblical view of God's Kingdom as the context, Pastor Brian and Joey also discuss the key to unity in the church, how a Christian holds peace in this war-torn world, what the church's role is in light of Jesus' finished work at the cross and how this plays out in Brian's church.At the top of the episode, Tomelex Copeland, Luke Gaikwad, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen reflect on being "snowed in" for this recording and ponder some theological questions in regard to the fires in California.  Book cited: Farewell to Mars by Brian Zahnd. Be a Patron of the Podcast!  On this Episode:Brian Zahnd / Instagram / Website / Word of Life ChurchHosts: Tomelex Copeland, Luke Gaikwad, Lynne Stroy, and Joey SvendsenExecutive Producer: Josh SurrattHost/Producer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn VandiverTheme song: Joel T.

David French brings us his thoughts on why the GOP is no longer the party of the Constitution. Have political party allegiances broken the system? What Constitutional guard rails can operate when people are worried about falling out of the President's favor? Then, he talks about Carl Schmitt, a German political thinker who may have the key to understanding the difference between the politics we're used to—and the emerging politics of the New Right.   David French's article on Schmittian politics: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/opinion/trump-maga-schmitt.html   0:00 - Theme Song   0:17 - Show Begins   2:11 - Tiktok—banned or not?   8:10 - Does Trump obey the Supreme Court?   15:30 - Resistant Bacteria Analogy   24:26 - Senators Following the People   27:29 - Political Parties as Checks   34:45 - The Gingrich-Clinton Wars   41:28 - Schmitt and MAGA Morality   53:15 - The Moment for Courage   1:04:52 - End Credits
