again a kind of spreading and variety of primaries, and it was both something pushed by some reformers outside parties but also pushed by reformers within parties. it was a reaction simply put against the convention system which had taken over essentially in america as a we would pick candidates. not only at the presidential level, again national convention, but at the state and at the county level. and again these reactions about the sort of insider game in the corruption and other things in the party and the sense that the people needed to be involved was key in moving these things forward. i also want to just put on the table how unique america is in terms of primaries. there certainly are primaries and primary like elections around the world, but they are more the exception and will. hours per meter whole system course there are some nonpartisan elections and some more systems that kevin has discovered that maybe move away from the direct primary in a certain way. but if you think about at every level from federal, state, local and in many cases local web primaries everywhere and we fed the same t

but the worrying thing is the conservatives down at 20% and the reform party is at 20% and the reform at 9. i mean, is there any way back for the conservative party from these sort of polling figures? yeah. i mean, i think there's always a way back and this still up to two years until the general election . i think the general election. i think it's not surprising that the party taken the beating it has in the polls this year after everything happened, the everything that's happened, the year three ministers. year of three prime ministers. but also the year of, you but it's also the year of, you know, the energy and the and the resulting squeeze. they've set out their plan for the economy in the autumn statement . you in the autumn statement. you know, that's going to take a while to realise . but now i while to realise. but now i think they've really to set out their stall in other issues and top of the list i think is getting things right again in the immigration system, both getting legal migration down, but also fixing the problem in the channel yeah, i mean, you produced report f

i just wondered for 2023, is the deputy leader of ukip, what's the chances of ukip the reform party? party? you all seem to be occupying to me, you tell me i'm wrong, but all seem to me to be occupying pretty much the same ground. it's, you know, it's like the people's front of judea kind of kind of thing. what's the chance of you all uniting them ? one joint party uniting them? one joint party together in 2023. that's a really question. and you're not wrong because all of the centre right splinter parties do predominantly agree on the majority issues and we certainly do so i was only made deputy about three months ago and my first job was actually to try and start creating this alliance and start creating this alliance and thankfully we are getting somewhere this and i'm pretty excited for january because we've got more to come . so we've got more to come. so i will that splinter right will say that splinter right a centre, right splinter party has agreed to potentially talk about an amalgamation with the exception one. can you guess which no go on reform . reform. which no go on ref

we'll probably see that history come back to us the next time there's a push for filibuster reform, whichever party is in the minority, saying, look, in the past, democrat with a very, very slim majority were able to get through some of their top pr priorities to essentially roll republicans on a lot of those issues and there's no reason to further av erode the rights of the minority ll be republicans in control of the house, not like the house will be sending all of these biden priorities as past bills over to the senate to be passed. instead, the issue really is going to be the house and the white house officials that i'm speaking with feel even a little more optimistic about the way things will go in the senate given that they will have a very slightly larger but still larger majority there that they feel may help them particularly when it comes to, for example, some of their confirmations for their nominations with white house officials even looking at some of the nominations that had kind of stalled out last year such as eric garcetti, the former l.a. mayor, nominated to be u.s. ambassador to

the party needs either major changes or complete reform it. for democratic, similar need for changes or reform in their party. adults younger than 45 to see the need for those changes. among those think it needs major changes 14% saying the party needs to recruit younger candidates and do more to appeal to younger voters. another top percent say the democratic party is not aggressive enough or needs to push harder for change. nine percent say it is insufficiently progressive. a percent say it is to liberal. 7% call out -- the party out of touch. in gop takes those musical under change, 50% thinks they should rethink its relationship with former president trump. some say has become too extreme or too far right. 6% of those republicans set the republican should compromise more. 4% want a party to take a stronger stand against democrats. 5% say more conservative positions. that is this cnn poll asking people on their thoughts on the party and what you would like to see change within the party. you can do so within this hour. give us a call on the

all participants, but once again for your attention that the compromise draft law and reforms are when all parties who participate in this er, everyone is dissatisfied with the reform, but when they see that in our country, for example, the mayor of the city is satisfied, and, for example, the confederation is dissatisfied, and the confederation of builders is satisfied. there must be something wrong with this, well, something is wrong, that is, there are some officers who receive this report. and if we had all the satisfied if this method and the concentration of buildings were this, it will really be a compromise because no one is given priority. well, there are really many dissatisfied people, and this is now reflected in a petition on the president's website about what is satisfied and this to us those who, like a sergeant, will ride like a sergeant now , may be based on the results of this vote, and in the event that this law is signed by the president, mr. rostyslav, eh, i did not vote more faithfully , eh, for this draft law within the walls of the verkhovna rada, the representatives of eur

one thing to keep your eye on as well so that in mind is that the reform party is now still at betweenther problem for rishi sunak , the way problem for rishi sunak, the way in the labour party's lead is really there actually, despite labour party not really doing all that much at all as the old saying goes, opposition don't win elections tend to lose them and. it is this accumulation, this sense of crisis. the small boats , the channel, the strikes boats, the channel, the strikes the nhs in freefall . nobody can the nhs in freefall. nobody can get their post at the moment. nobody can get an ambulance. all of this stuff is sort of feeding this perception that actually the government is not a particularly competent job and know the one thing we know from history when governments aren't seen as being. that too is a major predictor of how they perform at the next election. on the nhs and i mentioned this earlier on in other interviews fascinating piece by juliet stevenson in the telegraph that basically says labour has had the nerve to say something fundamental needs to be done about nhs.

reform. the ruling scottish national party is about to seize some of the national power after a failed attemptdence referendum. this was directly pointed out by opponents of the law during the debate in parliament. people do not oppose changes in laws to improve the lives of transgender people. most people oppose this particular bill. the problem is not reform. the problem is that this reform, initiated by first minister sturgeon, the dail newspaper adds, if the law comes into force scotland will face what is called gender tourism, people who want to change sex will rush there from all over the uk and other countries with which london has a mutual recognition agreement certificates. these edinburgh-issued citizens will then demand recognition of their new gender. home of the british government. there is a month to start the procedure for repealing the law. otherwise, the rainbow of a new life will rise over scotland anton together. the belgian ministry of finance has issued permission to the national settlement depository to unlock russian assets. an application for the relevant operations can

parties. the change in campaign finance reform have made it very difficult for the parties to select their ownional way and vet their own candidates. i'd much rather see nominating conventions. we had primaries for over a century, and they didn't matter. it was only until the 1970s that it mattered. >> you also like smoke-filled rooms. >> i spend a lot of time in smoke-filled rooms. >> what do you make of the argument that democratizing the process has not actually been the best thing? it sounds like primaries will lead to donald trump perhaps getting the nomination -- >> i'm not sure about that yet. it depends on how many people are in it. our rules are this winner-take-all system where you can get 40% of the vote. and get all the delegates. >> the activists are the ones that do the picking, not the motte rats in the center. >> it requires all those running for senate to show up. i go back to 2007 when barack obama was running in iowa. i was working there at the time. he did all these rural health task force, to bring your rank -and-file democrat into the fold. it think it requires these cand

the example of the same one who is alive , who was close to the homeland, who was close to the party of reform and order. as far as i understand, that is, such progressive pro-european forces anyway. it is possible to say yes and i am leading to whether or not this is a case not with political overtones. is this not a case that demonstrates that we have some kind of strange selective approach to persecution or investigations or persecution of such people after all and of course, when i say this all the whole story, i am talking about the fact that konstantin lived, or rather, his son owns a share of express tv channels. that is, he is one of the investors of this channel. it also somehow happened that i was on channel five. this channel was closed by tv-ai. kuchma on twi e channel it was closed by yanukovych, a direct channel that was closed by the current government, and now we have another problem with konstantin zhivago. everything, too, cannot have a political undertone, so this is such a question, well, you know, it seems to me that it is not quite correct, ah, all of this combine one kub

and one life-long democrat dc neighborhood commissioner denise krept standing up to her party's progressive reforms>> it has to come down to every single person being impact the, and that's happening in my single member district where i've had a rape and murder and home invasions, robberies, stabbings, shootings and i don't have enough fingers to count all the crimes that's occ occurred d that's why my residents are saying enough is enough. we need help and more police on the streets and more prose prosecutions. >> nicole: jackie, piggy backing off what we said and 44% of criminals released return to prison within the first year of coming out of prison. what we're making these softer punishments and earlier release dates without implementing reform for these people to actually reintegrate into society, is this the right thing? >> jackie: i don't think it is and i wicker more democrats would -- wish more democrats would stand up and shine a light on the problem like she is, we all talk about it. if you live in a major city we're all talking about it and feel it and live it every single day. having s

welcome to we've got the leader of the reform party who is the real richard tice. but it's life and times . ken clarke yeah life and times. ken clarke yeah . truss you say that a prime minister in these two years, did you feel four for liz truss ? i you feel four for liz truss? i feel personally sorry for andrew fallen out with us. she's i was amazed. absolutely i was quite surprised. she got to the cabinet, utterly amazed that she came. prime minister plus the real me with the mp for redditch, rachel mclean i honestly did she went greenham common i burned my bra and i on the marches but it's your news . the marches but it's your news. good evening. i'm tatiana sanchez in the gb newsroom a number of people are believed to be in a critical condition after being pulled from a lake in solihull , west midlands police solihull, west midlands police describe the incident to

is it because we are seeing the edges of both parties keeping reform from happening, keeping major reform from happening? >> well, i think there's a fundamental disagreement between both parties on who should be able to come across and claim legitimate refugee status. it appears that the left and the biden administration thinks everybody should come and we should just do the paperwork faster. and the republicans want to slow this down and say what we really need to focus on is more resources to actually secure the border. case in point, the other day, the arizona governor literally took shipping containers and tried to build a wall on the arizona border in the yuma gap. and the biden administration sued him and made him take it down. so i think the fundamental disagreements on priorities here, republicans for border security, the biden administration says come on in. that's a big divide. and i have a hard time seeing how bipartisan solutions will happen when you've got such fundamental disagreements on the policy. >> but i think it's a bit disingenuous to say the biden administration is s

reform. and both parties have kicked the can down the road, right. they've done it for a long time.blicans have tried to kick it down, democrats have kicked it down. this president hasn't even been to the border. the vice president hasn't been to the border. it's a crime what's going on. but you're not going to do. you can't address any of this until you stem the flow. this is like the drug question, do you affect the demand or do you affect the supply? if people know they can simply walk across the street, if they can walk across the street, they're gonna walk across the street. >> david, what you are describing, your definition of border security then is closing the border. >> yeah, that's exactly correct. >> you can't -- >> why can't you? >> because what you're talking about is closing -- do you know how many legal border points of entry there are? if you're talking about closing the border, you are talking about closing legal commerce to our biggest trading partners, our second biggest trading partners. >> no, no, no, i'm saying -- >> yes you are. >> what are you saying? >> wade

but there has never been any true accountability for donald trump or reform within the party. each time it happens, it cracks the door open just a little bit more. it makes the party more inviting two races, extremists, and white supremacist. back in october, the twitter account for the house judiciary republicans posted a simple tweet. kanye,, elon trump. it was meant to herald three popular, and culturally relevant figures who have made the right wing conservative views more explicit in recent months. the tweet was deleted to just this past thursday, by the way. while kanye west was in the middle of a three hour long interview during which he spewed violent antisemitic comments while praising not seize and adolf hitler. since masks to takeover of twitter, hate speech is increased on the platform and that's before he restored banned accounts that were run by conspiracy theorists and far-right figures. republicans will soon take back control the house. kevin mccarthy's ideas that they are prepared to investigate the january six investigation. the racism, and extremism among th

this is, this is, this is new political party called reform, which is still in its infancy, but it's got surprising opinion poll support. so, you know, it's not that that, you know, the labor party and the opposite chief opposition party may be the beneficiary of this be also may get a kind of drift to the right saying, you know, the concerted part is not rubbing enough of what we want is more right wing policies, which i think i would actually just make things matters worse here in the country. indeed, i would like to talk more with you. i missed that. not that i'm sure we'll get back on the program as time progresses. i thought we have run out of time, but really appreciate your insight into what's going on in the you can, i'm short highlights exactly what's going on in other countries around the world. thanks your time and i'll to soon thank you. thank you very much. like you thank you. no standoff between hundreds of workers in de mining company in the state of alabama is continuing 20 months after they walked off the job. the mind is demanding better pay and working conditions wo
