It is called the rainbow nation for a reason, South Africa has a strong appreciation of our history, even if that came with struggles. We have a national anthem with 12 different languages, we have preservation sites that secure customs and traditions of all from Ndebele, Siswati, Zulu to Afrikaner, preserved because history is important to learn from. Yes we have African nationalists and Afrikaner nationalist however neither hold any significant power. We have problems but moved on from that, we have what is quoted as the best written Constitution and Bill of Rights document, we have an independent judiciary and an independent electoral commission that exercise their scope beyond fear or favour from the executive and legislature. We also have one of the best Labour and Union systems.

Is every Christian far right? America is a secular state, religious values may determine public policy, but the Church does not rule. It is not far right to consider the moral implication of abortion up to child birth, but that a rational balance is needed ergo like 99% of the world the mean average is 12 weeks abortion is permitted on the consent of the mother, after that it requires a medical professional to determine whether abortion is necessary based on rational factors such as health of the mother, health of the child. these are not Christian values they are just western moral values. Pro-Authoritarian, I would say the current regime is very pro authoritarian, political persecution and weaponization police and justice system against wrong think and trying to imprison and then kill a political opponent is all the kind of things that will make Vlad proud. I would say that about 80% of america whether democrat or republican are still very normal and not pushed to either extreme, most will be Judeo/christian nuclear families that want simple things like safety, liberty which is constrained in a Bill of Rights and rule of Law.

I guess the same thing can be asked as to who the far right are that seems to be pandered to anyone that disagrees with them. I would say anyone that considers Bill Maher far right is a very good indicator of far left. John F Kennedy would likely be far right in todays climate.

Conservation of civic nationalism and the things that give a state its character, history, customs and heritage. If you are talking about the status quo to screw the man at the bottom over, the Democrats have done that beautifully for years. The biggest impact was the red tape on small and medium business to protect the big business who happen to be the biggest doners. Sure there have been Republicans that have done the same, but the until you fix the system the status quo will not change.

I was going to ask the same thing, why can't he play for PSG it doesn't make much sense.

I like the Relays and 100m events, though the high diving and apparatus gymnastics is good to watch

At 16 years his ceiling is very high, so it is not beyond the realms of possibility.

nice pull for Como, should give them experience to try fight off relegation.

Do Barcelona need another winger

They are conservative in name only, their politics don't reflect the majority of conservatives. That is why Haley lost tragically even with the Democrats throwing everything behind her. The same divide is in the democrat party, moderates are hated by the far left because they are not progressive enough.

Didn't like any of the candidates they ran, but it doesn't change the fact that around half their MP's and voters left. The biggest issue was the loss of votes pushing outsourcing of services affecting local jobs and raising illegal immigration depleting the social welfare system. they deserved to lose. We saw the same thing in South Africa, the ANC split in half and that accounted for the fall from 60% to 42% of the vote, the Democratic Alliance hardly improved over the previous sitting. The benefit of a direct representative system is that it means the ANC holds 42% seats in parliament and can't pass a bill without support from the rest of parliament acting in support, before they used to have 2/3 majority power to unilaterally pass legislation.

you have used it before

you have used that line so many times now

It is endemic of the problem that Governments don't run the country, but rather the unelected bureaucrats, until that problem is addressed it won't change.

The Tories are the other cheek of the same arse as Labour, their policies chased voters and MPS away. Labour had 6.8m voters and Reform had 4.2m, that was 4.2m lost votes that probably lost them power and it was driven by diversity policies, uncontrolled immigration policies and the fact that Sunak was WEF stooge like Starmer didn't help.

Pence like Haley are neocons that out themselves like Tories that pretend to be conservative but really work for whomever puts money in the bank account.

Everyone passes an opinion only, it takes a seriously narcissistic person to believe they are the arbiter of truth on everything but is is a common attribute amongst people that brand everything fascist that doesn't fall within the world view. A few here were running the "staged" assassination schtick even though it should be universally condemned. On Harris, here support amongst Democrat power makers is low, not many have endorsed her but then again the standard expected is very low or they would have prevented Biden running again with enough time to find a suitable candidate. The two best candidates left and are running as independents.

Wow, thats impressive.

Less than 24 hours after a drone strike the predicted strike on Yemen's Oil and Power infrastructure was carried out. Yemen is heavily reliant on selling Oil and Electricity so you strike the source of income, similar to Ukraine striking Russian oil and gas facilities. The damage is total, the oil reserves are still burning.

There is no chance in hell that the Democrats run Harris, that would be an automatic surrender as she is the most disliked VP in history. I can see Gretchen Whitmer being run.

Villa and Brighton are doing the best business so far.

That is a possibility.

quite surprised by this move

Kamala Harris, holy shitballs.

well done to piastri and Mercedes have found something which should make the top 4 race interesting in the second half.
