Election 2024 was a Red Sweep, but the GoP isn’t going to have an easy time of it. Our country is deeply divided, and the majorities in Congress are thin. This could negatively impact much-needed reform legislation. #SavingAmerica #News #Politics #Election2024 #Conservative #Congress #Senate https://lnkd.in/gF5y7vxE

🌐 Engagement in Democracy: Building the Future Today🗳️ At different stages of life, our priorities shift. Recently, I've found myself deeply engrossed in the political landscape, almost transforming into an undercover political analyst. Reflecting on the recent election, I am struck by the potential for change. While the results set the direction, it's a crucial moment for us to realize that some things require long-term commitment. To truly shape the future—for ourselves and our children—we must start today. 🗣 The message is clear: Start now to ensure everyone votes in the next election. By encouraging more people to plan and commit to voting, we can drive significant, meaningful change. Let's build a legacy of active participation—every vote counts! #FutureElections #CivicEngagement #LongTermPlanning #EveryVoteCounts #BuildTheFuture #ParticipateNow #

A potential coalition of the Democratic Alliance and AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS is more likely than many would think, and I wouldn't write this outcome off just yet. Either way, the #Rand and local #markets are likely to be volatile until there's certainty over what the governing coalition looks like. Will be very interesting to see what unfolds over the coming days as a lot needs to happen with the first sitting of the National Assembly needing to occur no more than 14 days after results declared. Great overview of #election results from City Press below.

Should EU media outlets have a clear editorial line? POLITICO EU Editor Jamil Anderlini said something interesting on this during their election night live show (9:38 below): "At POLITICO we're privileged and fortunate in the fact we are avowedly non-partisan. So as a political news organisation we are not on the left, on the right.... Whereas some of our competitors in the media are to a certain extent blinded by ideological prisms, we don't have that." To preempt the age old debate on objectivity and bias, he does go on to say that it's impossible to remove bias at the individual reporter level, but that the institution that is POLITICO does not take a position. But would a clear editorial stance actually be beneficial to public discourse? When we read news publications back home we usually know the sort of politics we’re getting. Editors write editorials and hire columnists who generally align with the paper’s/owner’s stance. I hear complaints from both sides of the political spectrum in bxl that “[any and every EU media outlet] is biased.” Would we benefit from editorials and more vocal and public-facing editors? It's hard to imagine EU publications that are reliant on diverse commercial revenue ever wanting to risk alienating a sizeable chunk of those customers. But maybe perennial claims of impartiality lead to an erosion of trust in the long-term.
