Democracy literally means “rule by the people” – a system designed to safeguard our collective voice through the creation of laws and institutions. But today, many democratic systems are struggling to respond adequately respond to the wicked problems the world faces, including climate change. Young people, in particular, are losing faith. In this episode, James and Daisy speak about democracy. Why does it matter? Do democratic systems empower us tackle climate change – or slow us down? How might we strengthen democracy?  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Economist Intelligence Unit (2024) – Only 45% of the world's population lives in a democracy, 39% under authoritarian rule, and 15% in “hybrid regimes” that combine electoral democracy with authoritarian tendencies.Centre for the Future of Democracy – Globally, millennials are most dissatisfied with democracy, and more so than previous generations at the same stage of life. Furthermore,  young people are most positive about democracy under populist leaders of both left and right. Climate Citizens – A project run out of Lancaster University that wants to transform climate policy from something that happens to people, to something that happens with people.Climate Assembly UK – Over 100+ people from all walks of life and of all shades of opinion met over six weekends in Spring 2020 to discuss how the UK should meet its net zero target by 2050. They heard balanced evidence on the choices the UK faces, discussed them, and made recommendations about what the UK should do.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:National Geographic – The word “democracy” comes from two Greek words that mean people (demos) and rule (kratos). The first known democracy was in Athens.The Economist (2021) – The Swiss have the most pervasive system of referendums of any country in the world. Referendums are a form of “direct democracy”, in which citizens vote directly on policy questions rather than allowing elected delegates to decide (“representative democracy”). The Guardian (2025) – A majority from Europe's Gen Z – 57% – prefer democracy to any other form of government. Rates of support varied, however, reaching just 48% in Poland and only about 51-52% in Spain and France, with Germany highest at 71%.Ipsos (2024) – Just 37% of 18-to-24 year olds voted at last July's general election, down from 47% in 2019.GOV.UK – “Modernisation of UK democracy will see 16- and 17-year-olds able to vote in next general election.”CNN (2025) – Leaders of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran gather in Beijing for huge military parade in challenge to the West.UK Parliament – First-past-the-post is a type of electoral system. In the UK it is the system used for the election of MPs to the House of Commons and for some local government elections.UK Parliament – Proportional representation is an electoral system in which the distribution of seats corresponds closely with the proportion of the total votes cast for each party, e.g., if a party gained 40% of the total votes, a perfectly proportional system would allow them to gain 40% of the seats.Thank you for listening!

In questo episodio di livello intermedio, esploriamo i referendum più importanti della storia della Repubblica Italiana: il referendum istituzionale del 1946 che scelse la Repubblica, i referendum su divorzio e aborto degli anni '70–'80, e i recenti casi di mancato raggiungimento del quorum.

Braucht die Schweiz eine digitale Identitätskarte? Über diese Frage entscheidet die Stimmbevölkerung am 28. September. Die Befürworter betonen, es handle sich um eine einfache und sichere Lösung, die den Alltag erleichtere. Die Gegenseite warnt vor mangelndem Datenschutz und drohender Überwachung. Mit dem E-ID-Gesetz soll ein elektronischer Identitätsnachweis eingeführt werden. Nutzerinnen und Nutzer sollen sich damit im digitalen Raum gegenüber Behörden und Unternehmen ausweisen können – etwa bei der Eröffnung eines Bankkontos. Im Gegensatz zur 2021 abgelehnten Vorlage sieht das neue Gesetz vor, dass die E-ID nicht von privaten Unternehmen, sondern vom Bund herausgegeben und betrieben wird. Gegen die Vorlage haben mehrere Organisationen das Referendum ergriffen. Sie warnen vor Überwachung durch grosse Techkonzerne, einer Einschränkung der Privatsphäre und mangelndem Datenschutz. Die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter hingegen betonen: Mit der E-ID könnten viele Dienstleistungen unkomplizierter abgewickelt werden, die neue E-ID sei sicher und stärke den Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz. Braucht die Schweiz die E-ID? Ist die neue E-ID sicher oder ist der Datenschutz gefährdet? Und wie freiwillig ist sie? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 5. September 2025 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der Vorlage: – Beat Jans, Bundesrat und Vorsteher EJPD; – Maya Bally, Nationalrätin Die Mitte/AG; – Gerhard Andrey, Nationalrat Grüne/FR; und – Vanessa Grand, Inklusions-Aktivistin. Gegen die Vorlage treten an: – Monica Amgwerd, Kampagnenleiterin «E-ID-Gesetz Nein»; – Lukas Reimann, Nationalrat SVP/SG; – Markus Zollinger, Vorstandsmitglied Bewegung «Mass-voll»; und – Jorgo Ananiadis, Präsident Piratenpartei.

Über die Steuergesetzrevision im Kanton Nidwalden soll an der Urne entschieden werden. Die Grünen Nidwalden haben beschlossen, das konstruktive Referendum gegen die Vorlage zu ergreifen. Hohe Einkommen würden unverhältnismässig stark entlastet.

„Věřím tomu, že jsou Češi a Češky racionální. Kdyby dostali možnost hlasovat o své budoucnosti, hlasovali by většinově proti vystoupení z NATO a EU,“ říká předsedkyně Socdem Jana Maláčová, která vede kandidátku Stačilo! v Praze. Hnutí chce přitom vyvolat referendum o vystoupení ze západních struktur. Maláčová ve Studiu N tvrdí, že pro ni zahraniční otázky nejsou klíčové.  Spojení Soscdem se Stačilo! označuje za sňatek z rozumu. A byť podle svých slov nesouzní se všemi výroky představitelů hnutí, na programu se prý obě strany v drtivé většině shodnou. V podcastu například říká, že souhlasí se zrušením Senátu nebo zestátněním České televize a Českého rozhlasu. „Veřejnoprávní média tlačí jeden správný názor,“ myslí si. A jak by podle ní měla zestátněná veřejnoprávní média fungovat? „Začne být striktně dodržován kodex. A povinně bych je posílala na stáže do Berlína a do Londýna, aby se naučili žurnalistice. Nezlobte se na mě, ale ať to má nějakou kvalitu a nějakou štábní kulturu. A chtěla bych, aby to bylo vyvážené. Skutečně, česká žurnalistika je mizerná,“ tvrdí. Jak se z Maláčové stala pražská lídryně hnutí, které dříve označovala za antisystémové a nelevicové? Proč se vyhýbá odpovědi na otázku, jaké důsledky by mělo vystoupení České republiky z Evropské unie a NATO? A umí si představit spolupráci s Andrejem Babišem, kterého dříve označila za „debila“?

Could a four year government term be on the horizon? The select committee has recommended pushing ahead with a referendum, which would see Kiwi's voting yes or no for the government to have an extra year in power. Despite having proposed the legislation, the ACT party is now the only party in Parliament against the bill in its current form....saying it needs to include additional checks and balances on the government's power. Reporter Evie Richardson spoke to people in Auckland's New Lynn to find out whether they'd be ticking yes or no at the polls.

From Chiang Kai-shek's nuclear ambitions to the fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima, Taiwan's nuclear story has always been controversial. The ROC once came within months of being nuclear-bomb ready, but today, fission is gone from even civilian atomic power generation. This Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025, voters face a radioactive referendum. The core question? Whether to restart the recently decommissioned Ma'anshan Nuclear Power Plant 馬鞍山核能發電廠 in Kenting, Pingtung County. After years of splitting atoms over this hot topic, a critical mass is forming in a debate that may reveal just how divided the island remains on atomic energy. Join us as we explore the chain-reaction politics of Taiwan's nuclear dilemma and the referendum which may trigger a U-turn on uranium. FOLLOW us on social media, leave a REVIEW or comment. Thanks, it really helps.

Najavljeni referendum o suđenju bivšem predsjedniku RS Miloradu Dodiku kao i mogući o nezavisnosti entiteta, pravnici vide kao politički spektakl koji bi mogao završiti na sudovima u BiH. Priča o aktivistima iz regiona koji u predstavi "Poslednja" ukazaju na žrtve femicida i propustima u zaštiti.

"[Kindergarten students require] a lot of consistency, and love, and care, and nurturing. ... My goal is that they'll come out happy, enjoying school, loving every moment they can, and making memories because they have a teacher — or teachers — that can do that with smaller class sizes." Janet Craig, Maple Elementary School Kindergarten Teacher"I feel like one of the biggest words that summarizes the people in Avon is 'committed'. The educators, the children, the community — everyone is committed to Avon Schools." Lauren Ruth, Evergreen Elementary School 1st Grade Teacher"At the high school level, class size is probably one of the greatest changes we've seen. Prior to the referendum, I'd say we were averaging 30-35 students per class. Once the Referendum passed in 2018 we immediately hired a Math teacher, which was able to reduce class size, specifically in some of the areas on which we wanted to focus like Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 — those skills that students really need to be successful in the high school." Andrea Austin, AHS Math Department Chair and Math Teacher

Juraj Lukáč, vystudovaný elektrotechnik, založil před více než třiceti lety lesoochranářské sdružení VLK a stal se jedním z nejvýznamnějších ochránců lesa na Slovensku. Co jsou to studničky, jak holoseče poškozují les i jeho obyvatele? Jak poznat, že pro les skutečně děláme to nejlepší, a jak mu v dobré víře spíše neuškodit než pomoci? Juraj Lukáč v záznamu z loňského roku Inspiračního fóra popisuje, které chyby v začátcích svého působení při péči o les dělal, a proč je vůbec nejlepší nechat les na pokoji. Uslyšíte také, jak se profilace Juraje Lukáče, kybernetika a řízení složitých systému, promítá i do lesoochranářství. Co má společného les s internetem? A proč je les natolik složitý systém, že i kdybychom jej studovali od začátku lidstva, tak bychom mu zcela nedokázali porozumět? Podcast o ochraně lesa i o tom, jak může kdokoliv z nás ovlivnit lesnickou politiku uvádí neurovědkyně a vědecká novinářka Pavla Hubálková.Tímto dílem se s vámi loučí šestá řada podcastu Inspiračního fóra Screenshot.

Send us a textAb Gietelink in gesprek met Prof. Cees Hamelink.Op 29 oktober zijn er opnieuw 2e Kamerverkiezingen. Een onoverzichtelijk bos van minimaal twintig partijen met honderden onderwerpen en diverse vaak wisselende standpunten, waar we het wel, enigszins of helemaal niet mee eens zijn. Binnen alle partijen zijn bovendien diverse vleugels. De ideologische families zijn uit elkaar gevallen en bijna alle kiezers zijn zwevende kiezers geworden. Is de representatieve democratie, waarin je een stem krijgt en weggeeft aan een volksvertegenwoordiger van een partij nog wel van deze tijd? Zouden we niet voorbij de partijstandpunten in debat moeten gaan over de politieke inhoud? Is niet een referendumdemocratie over specifieke onderwerpen een veel geavanceerder en moderner politiek stelsel?Prof. Cees Hamelink was journalist en hoogleraar internationale communicatie UvA.

Modernizare cu documente false la Aeroportul Kogălniceanu. România riscă să piardă zeci de milioane de euro (Snoop) - Ce ne spun primele date de la retaileri despre cum va arăta inflaţia până la final de an. Mingea scumpirilor a fost aruncată de guvern la comercianţi. De decizia lor va depinde dacă va creşte inflaţia şi dobânzile vor rămâne sus, împiedicând relansarea economiei (Ziarul Financiar) Cum au luat naștere pensiile speciale și de ce sunt greu de eliminat. „Nu ar rezolva nimic un referendum” (Adevărul) Pensiile pe care astăzi încearcă să le taie Executivul au luat naștere ca un colac de salvare pentru sistemul de justiție în urmă cu aproape 30 de ani. Ministrul Justiției care a introdus noțiunea de pensii de serviciu este Valeriu Stoica. El explica necesitatea pensiilor speciale pentru magistrați, la fel ca alte beneficii introduse în 1997, pentru a atrage în profesie cei mai buni absolvenți de drept. Totuși aprecia că s-a ajuns la o exagerare, în sensul că „ar trebui că pensia de serviciu să nu poată depăși salariul”. „După 28 de ani, pot să spun că am făcut o greșeală”, spune în 2025, într-un alt interviu Valeriu Stoica. Momentul a fost un punct de plecare și pentru alte categorii sociale. Pe lângă faptul că, în 2004, în timpul guvernării Adrian Năstase, calculul pensiilor pentru magistrați s-a mutat de la raportarea la venitul net la venitul brut ( n. r. – 80% din ultimul venit brut în loc de 80% din venitul net), fiind majorate astfel sumele primite de magistrați după pensionare, tot atunci a fost inclus aici și personalul Curții de Conturi. În 2005 a urmat personalul diplomatic și consular, iar în 2006, în timpul guvernării Tăriceanu, a fost introdusă indemnizația pentru limită de vârstă pentru parlamentari. Au urmat grefierii și personalul auxiliar din instanțe și apoi militarii, polițiștii și funcționarii publici cu statut special. Au crescut foarte mult avantajele, dar acest lucru nu se poate spune și despre calitatea actului de justiție, afirmă jurnalistul Ion M. Ioniță în paginile ziarului Adevărul. „Oamenii așteaptă foarte mult în procese. Și acum deciziile apar foarte târziu. Și acum sunt numeroase situații de prescripție a unor fapte pentru că durata proceselor este foarte mare”. „Un referendum, precum cel propus de comunitatea Declic, nu numai că ar presupune costuri foarte mari în plus de la bugetul de stat, dar nici nu ar rezolva, pentru că răspunsul este clar, nu trebuie să faci referendum ca să știi care va fi răspunsul populației din România. E implicit răspunsul aici”, mai punctează Ion M. Ioniță, redactor șef Historia. Declic îi cere președintelui Dan un referendum național privind introducerea principiului contributivității în calculul tuturor pensiilor, inclusiv al celor speciale.  88.000 de persoane au semnat petiția. Modernizare cu documente false la Aeroportul Kogălniceanu. România riscă să piardă zeci de milioane de euro (Snoop) O firmă din Turcia este cercetată pentru falsificarea unor documente care i-au permis să câștige contractul de modernizare a Aeroportului Kogălniceanu, începută în mai 2023. Finanțarea a fost semnată de ministrul transporturilor de la acea dată, Sorin Grindeanu, iar execuția, de reprezentanții aeroportului și de o asociere de firme din România și Turcia. Cazul a ajuns la Parchetul European, condus de Laura Codruța Kovesi. Lucrările scoase la licitație în 2023 au constat în dezvoltare terminal la Aeroportul Internațional „Mihail Kogălniceanu”, turnul de control și parcarea. Valoarea inițială a proiectului a fost de peste 202 milioane de lei fără TVA (46 milioane de euro), iar peste 160 de milioane de lei (32 milioane de euro) urmau să provină din fonduri europene prin „Programul Operațional Infrastructură Mare” (POIM). Ultima informare din partea Aeroportului, din 4 august 2025, spune că valoarea totală a contractului este de 278 de milioane de lei (55,9 mil. euro).  Pe larg, pe Snoop.ro. Ce ne spun primele date de la retaileri despre cum va arăta inflaţia până la final de an. Mingea scumpirilor a fost aruncată de guvern la comercianţi. De decizia lor va depinde dacă va creşte inflaţia şi dobânzile vor rămâne sus, împiedicând relansarea economiei (Ziarul Financiar) Economia a încetinit vizibil, iar pentru o relansare rapidă, dobânda de politică monetară stabilită de BNR ar trebui să scadă, însă inflaţia deja mare – cea mai mare din Europa – şi perspectivele deloc favorabile privind preţurile încurcă. Aici intervine responsabilitatea comercianţilor de orice fel de a accepta acum un câştig mai mic, mutare care le-ar da şansa să pună umărul la relansarea economiei. În luna iunie România a raportat o rată a inflaţiei de 5,8%. Majorarea TVA începând cu luna august riscă însă să ducă acest indicator în sus mai degrabă decât în jos. Preţurile nu sunt influenţate de majorarea TVA doar în magazinele alimentare, ci şi în restaurante, în farmacii, benzinării sau magazine de bricolaj. De fapt, peste tot unde banii schimbă mâinile. ZF a mers în magazine şi a luat exemplul a 25 de bunuri din patru reţele – Lidl, Mega Image, Carrefour şi Kaufland. Doar trei produse au preţul neschimbat la începutul lunii august.

The weaponization of the judiciary, cultural institutions, and federal agencies threatens deeper fissures. As demographic shifts challenge already fragile power hierarchies in places like Texas, the backlash grows, manifesting in state repression and ideological crusades. This week, "In Class with Carr" looks to historical memory to remind us that Governance formations can and must be reimagined with a focus on relational citizenship rather than always deeply flawed racial state structures.

Ten years after Greece's thunderous “NO” to austerity, Yanis Varoufakis sits down with film-maker Raoul Martinez and host Mehran Khalili to revisit that historic showdown with Europe's political establishment. We bust the official myths, look at lessons learned, and spell out what activists across Europe must do next. If you missed the story: Greece elected the anti-austerity Syriza party in early 2015, with Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. After months of bruising talks with the European Central Bank, IMF and European Commission, the government put the creditors' terms to a 5 July referendum. Sixty two percent voted NO — but days later, Athens agreed to a third “bailout”, Yanis resigned, and Greece was locked into another cycle of cuts that to this day, it still hasn't escaped.  *** SPECIAL OFFER: Use code Storm25 to get 20% off the documentary we discuss in this video, In the Eye of the Storm! https://vimeo.com/ondemand/eyeofthestormenglish *** In this talk, we unpack the new six-part series In the Eye of the Storm – from secret Eurogroup recordings to the street-level activist energy in Athens – and draw fresh lessons on leverage, media war, plan B economics and movement discipline. Whether you marched in 2015 or are gearing up for the next fight, this conversation will arm you with the story behind the headlines and the tactics to win round two.

It's now ten years since the people of Greece voted in a referendum on the austerity program of the European Union. The referendum was called by the government of Alexis Tsipras and his left-wing Syriza party after months of negotiations with the EU. It brought the attention of the world media to what was happening in Greece after years of economic crisis. To the surprise of many, there was a decisive 61 percent majority for the “no” side. But then, with bewildering speed, Tsipras signed up to a new austerity program that was more punitive than the one voters had rejected a few days earlier. The U-turn triggered the resignation of the Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. Yanis joins Long Reads for a discussion about the legacy of the 2015 referendum. You can find a loosely edited transcript of the interview here: https://jacobin.com/2025/07/yanis-varoufakis-on-the-legacy-of-greeces-oxi-referendum Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's longform writers.
