Romania’s Democracy Died Today: Vote Until the "Right" Candidate Wins
Romania has outdone itself once again. In a spectacular display of democracy in quotation marks, the Constitutional Court has annulled the first round of presidential elections. Nine million voters? Forget them. Their votes apparently count only if they align with the powers that be. Democracy, you see, is not about expressing the will of the people. No, it’s about expressing the will of the system—on repeat, if necessary, until everyone gets it “right.”

Călin Georgescu: Messiah, Puppet, or Convenient Scapegoat?
The fine art of political character assassination. It seems Călin Georgescu has graduated from candidate to caricature in record time. The critique above overflowing with accusations, conjectures, and a pinch of paranoia paints him as everything from his wife’s puppet to a relic of Cold War diplomacy. How delightfully convoluted. Let’s unpack this masterpiece of projection and pot-shots with the sarcasm and wit it so richly deserves.

Bashing the bishop. Content Warning.
You might think that the most important elections around the world have already taken place. Not only has former President (number 45) Donald Trump been elected 47th President of the United States of America but, earlier in the year, UK voters ushered in a new majority Labour Government, to replace the many new Conservative governments that had appointed themselves since the previous general election. In the UK we do not elect our heads of state, or our heads of government. The anointed, hereditary monarch (currently King Charles III) is Head of State of the UK and his other dominions. The Prime Minister, who heads the elected executive branch of government, is appointed by the King on the basis of majority support in the UK Parliament's House of Commons. Us poor bloody Brits only get to vote for our local member of Parliament (MP) who will sit in the Commons as our representative. Confused? Not as much as you will be if you continue to read this article. You have been warned.

Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

Premier League Governance Issues: The Untold Drama of Who’s Really Running the Show
The Premier League’s Ownership Soap Opera The Premier League—a dazzling parade of world-class footballers, multi-million-dollar transfers, and, apparently, questionable governance practices. Just when you thought the action was confined to the pitch, along come revelations that add a new twist to the off-field drama. Yes, we're talking about the recent leaked messages suggesting that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman may have exerted his influence over the ownership of Newcastle United. But don’t worry, I’m sure that won’t raise any red flags about how the Premier League is being run. Nothing to see here, folks.

Survival Guide for a Trump Reelection
You might hate him, you might love him, you might wish he trips down a very tall, steep staircase, but like preparing for a hurricane, it’s better to have a plan in advance for a 2nd Trump presidency, than to walk out into a storm unprepared.

"End of the World"
Every time we are about to vote in the presidential election where Trump is a candidate (third time now, hopefully a charm to get him out of politics), I remember the "End of the World" episode of Trackdown that is eerily similar to our today's reality.

The Complex Dynamics of Dialogue: "10 Essential Insights for the West Before Engaging with Putin"
When we read an article titled "10 Facts the West Must Understand Before Talking to Putin," penned by Konstantin Remchukov, one can't help but feel a bit like we've stumbled into a conversation where the punchline is missing, but everyone's laughing anyway. It feels a little like watching a magician perform sleight of hand – you know something's up, but you can't quite figure out what's been pocketed. In this case, it might be the author's intent, logic, or our sanity.
