Minister spravodlivosti Boris Susko predložil novelu ústavy do medzirezortného pripomienkového konania. Chce ňou zaviesť nový inštitút - ľudové hlasovanie o predčasných voľbách. O vyvolaní predčasných volieb by tak mohol rozhodnúť nižší počet ľudí, než aký by bol potrebný na úspech prípadného referenda.Ľudové hlasovanie je inštitút, ktorým je už aj dnes v slovenskom právnom systéme možné odvolať prezidenta. V prípade neúspešného hlasovania by však prišiel o mandát parlament. Aj preto ho doteraz poslanci voči prezidentovi nepoužili. Obdobný vyvažovací mechanizmus však v novom návrhu Borisa Suska chýba.„Ľudové hlasovanie o odvolaní parlamentu má svoje výhody aj nevýhody. (...) Nie v každej demokracii podobný nástroj funguje. Keď ho ale chceme, musíme ho nastaviť tak, aby bol prítomný prvok zodpovednosti a zabránilo sa jeho nadmernému využívaniu. Míňať 12 miliónov eur v každom volebnom období je napokon nevýhodné,“ hovorí Bujňák v rozhovore.Návrh však počíta s niekoľkými inými obmedzeniami. Hlasovanie o vyvolaní predčasných volieb by sa nemohlo konať prvých, ani posledných šesť mesiacov volebného obdobia parlamentu, rovnako ani posledných šesť mesiacov mandátu prezidenta. Zavedenie ľudového hlasovania by však muselo odhlasovať 90 poslancov.Ostane tak zmena bez podpory opozície len na papieri? A prečo Boris Susko návrh predkladá spolu so zmenou, ktorá by znemožnila odvolávanie členov Súdnej rady bez udania dôvodu? Viac v Aktuality Nahlas.

Snaha politicky presadiť rovnosť v platoch podľa Richarda Sulíka ženám škodí. V budúcich voľbách bude konkurovať strane SaS, ktorú zakladal. Ak následkom toho prepadnú hlasy a vládnuť bude Robert Fico, podľa neho za to bude niesť vinu súčasné vedenie SaS. Okrem Borisa Kollára pripúšťa spoluprácu aj s Martinom Winklerom, protikandidátom Matúša Valla na post primátora Bratislavy. Nevylučuje ani kandidatúru so svojím synom. Sľuby PS a Borisa Kollára o nájomných bytoch považuje za blud. On sám sľubuje znižovanie daní a znovuzavedenie NAKA a ÚŠP.

Wisconsin's spring election was yesterday. Voters elected liberal-backed candidate Chris Taylor to the state supreme court. She won by a wide margin over conservative-backed Maria Lazar. And there were local races in many parts of the state. To give us a rundown on some of the results, Lake Effect's Joy Powers chats with WUWM editor Emily Files, who leads our voter guide project.

In our latest podcast, our team discusses the curse of Italian referenda, and whether Meloni can extricate herself from the political mess she created.

Agenda 16.2.26 - Chris Robertshaw and Future IoMFormer Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw has a new political vision for the Isle of Man. Describing itself as a movement towards good governance, Future Isle of Man has three core pillars to its thinking. ‘The Democratic Process', which introduces the concept of holding Referenda into our existing system; ‘A Unified Government' which bring government operations together under a single legal entity; and the introduction of high level cross-departmental strategic thinking. Is the Manx political system fundamentally broken or have we just been the really, really unlucky victim of events over the past few decades?

Hello and welcome to another special edition of Campus Beat.  It's Elections and Referenda time at Queen's University with all manner of student candidates, student clubs, Queen's University services and a few community organizations currently campaigning for office or for student fees across the AMS and SGPS memberships.  In this episode, the CFRC team got together to read the campaign materials provided by various groups seeking student fees through the SGPS referendum.  Unfortunately, we did not hear back from everyone given the short timeline of release of information from the SGPS about approved groups and were only able to book one interview among the nine organizations on the ballot.  CFRC team members are reading the information provided to us about each group's campaign in lieu of interviews to provide an opportunity for their message to be heard and they will be read verbatim, sometimes in first person.  It is CFRC's pleasure and privilege to support candidates and groups campaigning and we thank you for tuning in.  SGPS members are reminded that voting for candidates and student fees takes place on January 29th and 30th.  Watch your Queen's Emails for ballots and visit sgps.ca for more information about candidates, groups and the elections process.   And now without further ado, we'll dive in to our interview with Ban Righ Centre about their SGPS student fee campaign followed by the CFRC team reads of campaign profiles for all groups on the ballot.  Thank you for joining us.

Z ruského trhu odišlo množstvo veľkých západných firiem a jeho ekonomika krváca. Môžeme to vidieť na rôznych ekonomických ukazovateľoch, napríklad na výškach úrokových sadzieb. Nikto netvrdí, že v Rusku dnes nenájdete ani kúsok Západu, ale to neznamená, že podstatná časť komerčného trhu s ním nepretrhla väzby. Ľudia ako Gyimesi a Blaha vám ukážu, čo v tom Rusku je, ale interpretujú to klamlivým spôsobom, ktorý je v súlade s naratívmi, aké k nám prichádzajú z Kremľa.Prečo slovenskí dezinformátori šíria klamstvá o sankciách proti Rusku? Kto prišiel s petíciami za ich zrušenie a koľko podpisov iniciatívy získali? Akí aktéri sa snažia verejnosť zavádzať videami z Ruska, ktoré majú dokazovať, že západné sankcie nefungujú? Prečo je takýto obsah manipulatívny? Aké propagandistické naratívy Kremľa prezentoval premiér Robert Fico v televízii Rossija 1 a kto bola hostiteľka programu?Aké zistenia priniesli Hoaxy a podvody o dezinformačnej platforme TV OTV? Ako funguje medzinárodná sieť telegramových kanálov šíriacich ruskú vojnovú propagandu, ktorých je TV OTV súčasťou? Z koľkých kanálov sieť pozostáva a aký obsah publikujú? Čo je obsahom pravidelného reportu o dezinformáciách Dezinfomaják a ako sa k nemu môžete dostať?Aj o tom v novej epizóde podcastu Disinfo Report organizácie Infosecurity.sk hovorí Tonka Zsigmondová s novinárom a autorom reportu o dezinformačnej scéne Dezinfomaják Martinom Hodásom.Infosecurity.sk prechádza na platformu Darujme.sk, kde nás môžete naďalej pravidelne či jednorazovo podporovať. Vďaka vašej pomoci dokážeme pracovať na odhaľovaní a vyvracaní dezinformácií, prispievať k ozdrave informačného prostredia a ochrane demokratických hodnôt. Za každý dar srdečne ďakujeme.

Coach K, Civic Media's own Jimmie Kaska, joins Dr. Tim to review how Wisconsin schools fared in the election. While we bemoan our loses at the national level and what that may mean for education, we celebrate Wisconsin's overwhelming support for our public schools. As Jimmie writes, Wisconsin school districts overwhelmingly passed both operational and facilities requests. This is huge! Wisconsinites across the state showed up and said "we care about public schools and we'll pay more for them!" And in the midst of processing a huge national loss, these bright spots matter.

Coach K, Civic Media's own Jimmie Kaska, joins Dr. Johnny to chop up school referenda. By November 5th's election, nearly half of Wisconsin's school districts will have gone to referendum to secure funding. We've talked plenty on BustED Pencils about school referenda and the struggles for schools to secure enough funding to keep the lights on. And as we'll keep saying, it is equally vital to maintain funding for the "extra"curricular school offerings. Coach K puts it very simply: funding on a referenda that goes to athletics yields community good. BustED Pencils: Fully Leaded Education Talk is part of Civic Media.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta sexta-feira, 16, Carlos Andreazza debate a recente decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) de referendar as liminares emitidas pelo ministro Flávio Dino sobre o orçamento secreto. Andreazza destaca a relevância dessa medida para aumentar a transparência no uso de recursos públicos. Ele também observa que a decisão de Dino encontra resistência dentro do Congresso, que busca outras formas de manter os mecanismos do orçamento secreto. Além disso, Andreazza aborda a posição de Lula em relação às novas eleições na Venezuela, onde o presidente brasileiro não considerou a vitória de Maduro e sugeriu a realização de um novo pleito. O colunista também comenta a postura da ministra Cármen Lúcia, que defendeu o ministro Alexandre de Moraes em meio às críticas recebidas por sua atuação informal ao solicitar aos gabinetes do TSE relatórios que, posteriormente, seriam encaminhados ao STF e utilizados como base para as decisões do magistrado.

Since its inception in 2017, the Committee on Disciplinary Rules and Referenda has been charged with the examination of Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and Rules of Disciplinary Procedure to determine rule adequacy and necessary changes. After extensive evaluation of existing rules, the committee proposed 12 new rules between 2021 and 2023 which Texas attorneys will now have the opportunity to vote on from April 1-30, 2024.  Rocky Dhir talks with committee members Lewis Kinard (Chair), Judge Phyllis Martinez Gonzalez, and Scott Brumley, and former member Claude Ducloux about the proposed rules to help Texas legal professionals gain a better understanding of the purpose and implications of the suggested changes.
