Predstavljajte si, da se v mraku sprehajate. Pridete do mostu. Na ograji stoji dekle. Previdno jo povprašate, kaj dela. Vidno se vas ustraši. Ni vas pričakovala. »Nima smisla!» reče, »bolečine so prehude. Nihče me ne bo pogrešal. Dovolj imam, pustite me!« Stoji na ograji in okleva. Jo boste potisnili? Ji boste pomagali narediti samomor?« Če je odgovor ne, potem veste kako glasovati.Komentar je pripravila doktorica zgodovine, Helena Jaklitsch.

Nick Cohen and Robert Saunders, the author and academic, discuss historical political party splits in Britain, particularly in the 1920s when the Liberals split and Labour formed, contrasting with the current situation where both left and right-wing votes are fragmented. Nick and Robert analyse the current political landscape, noting that while the right-wing vote is divided with Nigel Farage being popular, the centre-left could dominate British politics if it remains united. The discussion highlighted the challenges of multi-party democracy under the first-past-the-post system and the potential for new parties like the Greens and a Corbyn-led radical left party to impact the political landscape.They talk about the decline of the two-party system in the UK, highlighting how Labour's popularity has dropped significantly since the 2024 election. Labour barely won a third of the vote in 2024 but still secured a majority of seats under the first-past-the-post system, leading to concerns about the system's fairness. Robert explains that the decline of the two-party system can be traced back to the 1950s, when Labour and the Conservatives together accounted for 97% of the vote, compared to 65% by 2010. They also discuss how Brexit and the implosion of the Liberal Democrats in 2015 temporarily reversed this trend, but Robert believes these were anomalous elections and that the longer-term pattern of decline continues.Tory party is dying on its feet Possibly the most dramatic and most influential event driving current politics is the slow agonising death of the Conservative Party. Robert says "This is a party that used to be anchored in all sorts of important institutions that was very deeply rooted in the world of British business. That was connected to institutions like the Church of England, the armed forces, the kind of voluntarist culture, and that also meant it had a lot of kind of different sources of information and ideas flowing into it. It's either cut itself off from those things, or those things have essentially died. So it's become a kind of tree with no roots, and then I don't think it's entirely surprising, therefore, that it crashed down in the way that it did in 2024. "He adds "The biggest danger for the conservative party was that they took refuge in comfortable myths about their defeat. And I think that's what they've been doing."Read all about it!

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open a new week on The Fan Morning Show with a Maple Leafs autopsy following back-to-back losses over the weekend. They begin by dissecting the team's issues in the crease, careless turnovers, and the stars offering bare-minimum brilliance, before asking what a full Toronto referendum would look like if Edmonton can wear a 9–1 loss. After the break, they consider the idea of Max Muncy to the Blue Jays, and unpack an “intentional balls” gambling claim, separating allegation from fact and precedent.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Alex talks about the hottest issue leading up to next week's election….the 2026 election. California's Proposition 50 is a power play by Governor Newsom and Democrats to fight back against Republican gerrymandering in Texas, in the hopes of saving Democratic seats in Congress in the midterm elections. Now a firestorm has ignited with states across the country launching redistricting efforts, and both parties have come to play. First, Alex hears about grassroots efforts to tackle the issue from Richard von Glahn, the Executive Director of People Not Politicians in Missouri. Then she speaks to democratic strategist David Plouffe about the moral quandary Democrats find themselves in, and why our hyper partisan political environment necessitates a gloves-off approach.
