Hop, skip, jump and enchant the electorate – the Ed Davey doctrine was a stroke of genius

05 Jul 2024  |  the Guardian  |  English  |  Election Campaigns

Ed Davey's unconventional campaign strategy, involving stunts and personal storytelling, has led to significant electoral success for the Liberal Democrats, transforming them into the third largest party in the UK. Unlike Boris Johnson's similar tactics, Davey's approach is seen as genuine and compassionate, resonating with voters on a personal level. His ability to humanize political discourse and focus on family and service has revitalized the party's image and electability.

Fierce Battle in Central Java: Prabowo's Ambition & Ganjar's Gamble

05 Jan 2024  |  tirto.id  |  Indonesian  |  2024 Presidential Election

Central Java, a significant electoral battleground, sees intense competition among presidential candidates for the 2024 election. Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD lead in the region, while Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar vie for dominance elsewhere. Surveys indicate a likely two-round election due to no candidate surpassing 45% electability. Jokowi's frequent visits to Central Java, though officially work-related, are seen as politically motivated to boost his preferred candidates. Analysts emphasize the importance of Central Java for a decisive victory, highlighting the region's strategic significance in the broader electoral landscape.

Inflatables, hip-hop rallies, and a missile alarm: Taiwan to vote in election that’s too close to call

12 Jan 2024  |  the Guardian  |  English  |  Taiwan Presidential Election

Taiwan is set for a closely contested presidential election, framed as a choice between 'war and peace' or 'democracy and autocracy.' The main candidates are Lai Ching-te from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), advocating for Taiwan's sovereignty, and Hou You-yi from the Kuomintang (KMT), promoting closer economic ties with China. The election is marked by deep ideological divides, economic concerns, and the looming threat of China's reaction. The DPP's progressive reforms and the KMT's historical authoritarianism are key points of contention. The outcome could significantly impact Taiwan's future and its relations with China.

British Columbia's recent election remains undecided, with the NDP and BC Conservatives nearly tied. The election highlighted the climate crisis and political dynamics, with the BC Conservatives gaining ground despite controversial stances. John Rustad's leadership and Brent Chapman's controversial views are focal points. The Green Party's potential role in supporting the NDP is uncertain. The BC Liberals' rebranding as BC United failed to prevent a right-wing vote split. The final election results hinge on mail-in ballots and recounts.

Party Candidates Crowd Into US Presidential Field

10 Nov 2023  |  alaska-native-news.com  |  English  |  US Presidential Election

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin's decision not to seek reelection in 2024 has fueled speculation about a potential third-party presidential bid. The 2024 US presidential election may feature several high-profile third-party candidates, including Jill Stein, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Cornel West, alongside the expected Democratic and Republican nominees, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Voter dissatisfaction with the major parties has led to increased interest in alternative candidates, who could significantly impact the election outcome. Experts suggest that while third-party candidates are unlikely to win, they could act as spoilers, potentially affecting the major party candidates' chances.

Who is Robert F Kennedy Jr: Election disrupter or change agent?

26 Mar 2024  |  www.aljazeera.com  |  English  |  US Presidential Election

Robert F Kennedy Jr, an independent candidate in the 2024 US presidential election, has announced lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. Despite the historical challenges faced by third-party candidates, Kennedy's campaign has garnered attention due to his strong brand recognition and controversial views. He has distanced himself from the Democratic Party and appeals to both far-left and far-right voters. His campaign resonates with those disillusioned by a potential Biden-Trump rematch. Kennedy's mixed and often contradictory views on issues like the environment, COVID-19, and foreign policy make him a polarizing figure. While his chances of winning are slim, his presence in the race could impact the election dynamics, particularly in battleground states.
