Japan's far-right party Sanseitō is expected to overperform in the upcoming Upper House elections by lying about immigrants. Sanseitō has claimed that immigrants commit more crimes than citizens, take their unfair share of welfare, and take advantage of the country's high-cost healthcare benefits -- all false.

"the proposed changes to donation rules don’t pass ‘the Musk test’ – in that they would still allow foreign business owners to make big money donations, providing they have ‘sufficient’ income generated in the UK"
Welcome changes but as usual, they don't go far enough. And where is PR in all this.

Bungs from Billionaires: Do Labour's Political Funding Reforms Really Pass the ‘Musk Test’? – Byline Times

It’s obvious that Donald Trump doesn’t believe there will be another Presidential election.
The most telling sign of this is Trump no longer cares about his MAGA supporters as he destroys their lives right along with the institutions that form America’s foundation.
In a nutshell … Trump no longer needs MAGA voters or their support.

Martial law may not arrive with tanks. It may come in the form of a national emergency declaration, a manufactured riot, or the pretense of mass fraud. Trump doesn’t have to cancel the election; he just has to delegitimize it enough to override it.
So what do we do?
As Palast warns: don’t despair. “They can’t steal all the votes all of the time.” But they sure as hell can steal enough.
We need:
Voting explained:
The conservatives rule.
The people are unhappy.
They vote for the social democrats.
The social democrats rule conservatively.
The people are unhappy.
They vote for the conservatives.
Start from the beginning.
Not voting explained:
The fascists rule.
The end.
Keep voting, but do more.

SCOTUS will take up a Republican-led drive to wipe away limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination w/candidates for Congress & president.
The justices said Mon they’ll review an appellate ruling that upheld a provision of federal #election #law that’s >50 yrs old. #Democrats want the court to leave the law in place.

#UK public’s trust in our #politics has collapsed
Only 1 in 10 people now trust the government to put the country first.
This is a dangerous territory to be in and without serious #reforms we risk people losing faith in #democracy altogether.
Introducing a fairer, more #ProportionalVoting system would start the process of restoring trust and confidence in our political system.

"With Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, Women Win"
Before 2021, New York’s 51-member council had always been majority male. Women hadn’t even gotten close to a majority. The best showing had been 18 seats, just a tick above 35 percent.
That all changed with ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2021, voters elected not only a women-majority council but nearly doubled the previous high, with 31 seats.

BTW... I doubt that there will be "#mid-#term" #elections
#Trump will find a reason to suspend them
or cause one
because if there are "mid-term" elections
I believe that his "political career" (like that of the MAGA GOP) would end.
