politics

Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

A Letter to the Other Side
To my family, Although I offend stay quiet when you discuss current events, and scroll past your Facebook posts without the urge to make outraged comments, it doesn’t mean I agree with your views. You see I don’t make comments to your face or behind a screen because although I want to share my political views with you, I know you will highly disagree with me. You claim that other parties are sensitive, snowflakes, who don’t understand what’s going on, who are disrespectful individuals that need to learn some manners, and need to read up on what’s going on in the world. It’s funny because I’m literally listening to you making these comments you make and I’m in the one of those parties that you speak so low of.

Brazil Election 2018: A Swing Across the Political Spectrum for the South American Nation
Brazil is a culturally and socially diverse nation which has as colourful a history as any other country on the planet. It is also in the midst of a highly significant election which could see all of its recent social and economic problems appear almost obsolete.

American Nightmare?
On July 13, President Donald Trump arrives in the UK for a working visit. Throughout it he will meet the Prime Minister at Chequers and The Queen at Windsor Castle. It will not be a state visit, though one is planned for later in the year. Only three presidents have been bestowed the honour of a state visit to Great Britain including Trump’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, and whether the one being planned actually occurs is yet to be seen. The visit has been arranged so that President Trump won’t have to visit London and therefore stay clear of any protests that will inevitably take place.

Why Don't All Women Vote Democrat?
BRYCE ON POLITICS Click for AUDIO VERSION. The Democrats desperately want the world to believe they have a monopoly on the female vote; that a vote for a Democrat candidate is the only logical choice. They further contend any woman voting for a Republican is either a fool or being controlled by their spouse. It is simply beyond their comprehension that women would support President Trump, a Republican running for election, or Brett Kavanaugh. They just don't get it.

Democracy Needs Changing
Democracy needs changing. Where do we go from here? Whilst democracy is theoretically the best way to govern, it is still open to improvement in the way it is practised.

What Does It Mean to Vote for the Democrats in November?
Bryce on Politics - A lot depends on how we vote. Click for AUDIO VERSION. Absentee ballots will be out soon and, in many states, early voting is in the offing (Florida begins October 22). In other words, it's show time for the midterm elections. As usual, I will be studying the early voting numbers coming from the Board of Elections. This is the most reliable way of projecting the outcome, certainly not the polls. Traditionally, Democrats do not like to vote in midterms as they believe it to be frivolous, but I think we are about to witness a record breaking race in terms of votes cast.

The Political War of 2018
BRYCE ON POLITICS Into the breach we go. Click for AUDIO VERSION. Back in January, I previewed the midterm elections and predicted this will become a "bloody" political war. Unfortunately, I was right. With just over a month to go, the election gets nastier with each passing day.

The Rise of Right Wing Political Parties in the 21st Century
I often see on TV and media “experts” expressing surprise at the increasing support for right wing political parties all over Europe. Why surprised? If the experts are knowledgeable and actually think about the effect that the policies of present EU government—and for that matter previous administration in USA—have, they should not be surprised.

Mayhem in the White House?
BRYCE ON POLITICS - Fact or fiction? Click for AUDIO VERSION. The Democrats have a dilemma. They are rapidly approaching the 2018 midterm election and have nothing to offer the American voters other than a Socialist agenda featuring universal health care at an estimated price of $32.5 trillion. They know this will not play well in Poughkeepsie as Americans are not comfortable with Socialism. As such, they are desperately trying to divert attention away from their frailties and attack the president instead, declaring him mentally unstable thereby making him unfit to fulfill his duties.
