2020 Australian Eden-Monaro By-Election
In the realm of Australian politics no other seat is more hotly contested than Eden-Monaro. This seat is geographically located within New South Wales and the Nation’s capital, Canberra. For decades it’s been considered a “bellwether seat” and one of the original 62 seats of the Australian Parliament. If I were to say the seat of Eden-Monaro was the Mecca of Australian Politics, I’d be selling short the importance of it. Traditionally no government has one won office in Australia without first winning the seat of Eden-Monaro, until recently.

How to Get Rid of Bad Politicians in Congress
I'm not targeting anybody in particular, so I'm just going to speak in general terms. We need to vote out our fascist-leaning politicians, but Democrats and Republicans are empty distinctions. Our system of government is something the rest of the world never saw before. Bad politicians need to be peacefully voted out of office. History will be determined once the dust settles, but we need to take our democracy back as a collective. Democracy should be something we need to take back in general because it has been corrupted by the current administration.

Will Dominic Cummings Break the UK?
Westminster watching is almost as much fun as Kremlin during the Cold War, and about as likely to produce any understanding of what is going on that corresponds to reality. It’s even harder with the corkscrew straight brain of Boris Johnson and the contorted double helix that is the mind of the man who allegedly claimed the rich are rich because they have better genes.

So bad it works
Towards the end of last year, when the uk had a general election, I heard a theory I hadn't heard before. There were the usual posters, tv adverts and buzzwords but there were always some that stood out and got talked about the most. They were the posts that were unclear, muddled or simply looked lie they were done in a school project. There were 2 or 3 word slogans that either covered many things as were so vague or nothing as they were confusing.

The Age of Political Arrogance
Political arrogance has been around for a while now, at least for the majority of the time I've been a passenger on Earth. I've never been politically naive, but this time I really was. I thought that, at least in a time of crisis like this one that we are living in now, people would come together to pull through so we can go back to fighting each other over the next thing.

Clone Dictators of North Korea
Clone Dictators of North Korea? North Korean dictator Kim Jong il's long awaited journey into the assuredly horrid fiery afterlife waiting for him is now a reality. Thoughts of him being roasted slowly yet eternally, hog tied on a spit while myriad minor demons rectally abuse him with pineapples dance merrily through the relieved heads of nearly all South Koreans, escaped North Koreans, and most the world's heads of state.

The Plot That Killed Governor William Goebel
"Politics have never been this divided," people declare about the current state of American politics. Bipartisanship does seem to be a thing of the past, as both parties dig their heels in on certain issues. However, one needs only to look at the 1899 Governor's race in Kentucky to see how bad it could be.
