irish times on the other effects. >> this is about having a government or no government. we have been in limbo for six months.ve caretakerinisters remaining a posts, so some decisions have been able to be made. what will happen from midnight is that those ministers will lose their post. there will simply be no devolved to government in northern ireland. all those decisions that would normally take -- normally be taken about schools, the health serve, infrastructure, roads come of none of those will happen -- roads, none of those will happen. northern ireland will go back to how it was a 2017 when it was administered by civil servants in the secretary of state. this morning ended recent days, there have been multiple calls from different civic bodies across northern ireland. karin: for how this is playing out in westminster, here is ione wells. ione: rishi sunak saying the people of northern ireland deserve a functioning government, but the reason they are not, the post-brexit treaty keating gasped keeping northern ireland -- keeping northern ireland and the british market. northern ireland once a check of goo

government. well, the biggest party in the assembly is the pro—irish unity party, sinn fein.ill. most of us are here because we want to do the job we were elected to do. today, our caretaker ministers rallied to take positions within tight limits before the civil servants are left in an impossible position come midnight where they are expected to run our essential public services, and yet have no budget and powers to do so. jeffrey donaldson and the dup are in a perpetual standoff with the public, the majority of whom they do not speak for, or indeed represent. he stood for election yet failed to show up. this is his mess and a failure of leadership by him and his party. jeffrey donaldson and the dup have left us all at the mercy of the heartless and dysfunctional tory government whose own survival is all that ever counts. northern ireland is part of the united kingdom, and has devolved powers to make key decisions on how its governed. the executive runs the government day—to—day, while laws are set in the assembly — the devolved legislature. neither have functioned since ele

a majority of unionists and irish nationalists must agree to share power for a devolved government toil the brexit trade border with the rest of the uk is scrapped. in the election five months ago, sinn fein became the first nationalist party ever to win the most seats. but the dup remains the most seats. but the dup remains the biggest unionist group. so it still has a veto. how is sharing here has always been fragile. devolution has only been properly operating for a little more than two out of the last six years. northern ireland is now heading into its fourth assembly election over that period. the impact of political paralysis has been felt widely. business leaders say potential investors are being put off. we investors are being put off. - understand there are difficult political issues there, but for businesses, we need decision—making. we have had six years with really no decisions being made, and we have got many areas that need to be looked at. got many areas that need to be looked at— looked at. the most imminent decisions _ looked at. the most imminent decisions will _ loo

government heads of states at a different location. and what we're hearing from some of the people who've been around the table in prague to day. certainly, at least from the irish minister who was there is this is some form of movement. he is saying that the heads of government heads state next week will be called upon to look at a proposal that appears to be coming from the european commission. which looks at the establishment of a new kind of trading index which would be brought together and which would help the different e u. member states monitor the way that the price of gas fluctuates and to try to help those countries. but that is some considerable distance away from the source of aspiration that you are outlining there that certain member states would be looking for. so if that is correct, if the irish representative at the meeting in prague is correct in saying that something is coming from the commission and it might go to heads of government next week, then that suggests that there is some developments. but if this development is something which everyone can agree on and is meaningful, where we're going to have to wait to see exactly what comes out.

the electrifying orator help audiences enthralled for hours, warning in her irish voice that the u.s. had become a government of wall street by wall street and for wall street. many progressive women also quietly helped to shape the laws of new western states, right down to the more gender-neutral wording of their constitutions. when the progressive states of colorado and idaho enfranchise women in 1893 and 1896, the west which was already the national hotspot of suffrage because of wyoming and utah, became a global epicenter of suffragist as well showing the spotlight with the other settlers societies of australia and new zealand. as immigration surged in the early 20th century, the public heatedly debated the question of who is a real american. women wanted to know how could barely literate immigrant men could vote but an educated woman more on home soil could not? in the west suffragists pointed to women's long record of service during ongoing settlement still going on, and demanded full citizenship. devising a successful formula for winning the vote in the holdout states, suffrages built successful coali

rotten boroughs, were the ways, one of the ways that kind of british, irish autocrats traditionally are used, the arrangements of government to to maintain their stranglehold on power and involved essentially controlling the number of people who would get to vote in the district. and so you could potentially have a seat in parliament that had 500 or 1000 people living in it and three or four of them were actually eligible to vote. and the landowner or the nobleman would bribe or often offer patronage to those voters in order keep control of the seat. and we saw similar, um, translated across to the united states during, the colonial era and these kind of early gerrymanders, whether they were prior to independence or hosting, don't really look a whole lot like gerrymandering as we imagine it today. the image of gerrymandering kind of conjures up the specter of these and misshapen districts that you see on maps. sometimes forms. but as nate was saying, it's only the it's only the technology that is available to. politicians today. and it was not until. 1970s that computers and software were used for the first time in the red
