Mauritania es una república semipresidencial. Para la elección de su Asamblea Nacional, el país emplea uno de los sistemas de voto paralelo más complejos del mundo, pues el elector emite CUATRO (sí, cuatro) votos para las distintas variantes. Vamos a hacer el esfuerzo... Image
De los 176 escaños que componen la Asamblea Nacional, se eligen 125 en circunscripciones uninominales o plurinominales (dependiendo de la población), basadas en los 44 departamentos. La capital, Nuakchot, se divide en tres distritos electorales con 7 escaños cada una. ImageImage

Watching our Prime Minister on the 10 o’clock news just now was bizarre - has he been locked in a cupboard all day? Does he not follow the news before he goes on it?

He said: “I’m not detecting a massive groundswell of movement towards the Labour Party” - Erm, babes, ... /1 Image
you just lost over 1,000 seats. There’s certainly a groundswell of movement away from your lot. He also said:

“What people want us to do is focus on their priorities”

Okay this could be promising … Climate change?

“Halving inflation, growing the economy”

He’s .. /2

Como su nombre lo indica, Micronesia es una federación compuesta por cuatro estados: Chuuk, Kosrae, Ponhpei y Yap. Todos se componen de una isla principal y atolones periféricos. Tiene una población estimada de 104 mil habitantes.
Micronesia es un país soberano, pero tiene acuerdos de "asociación" con los Estados Unidos (de quien fuera un "territorio en fideicomiso" hasta 1979) relativo sobre todo a los aspectos militares. Por ende, la influencia estadounidense en su sistema político es bastante elevada.

Budget 🧵 Big spending budget so I’m sure plenty to please people: Health gets a big whack which is good. Let’s hope it actually improves people’s health rather than increase admin overheads 1/n
The $350 cash transfer is good, as will be a good test of how the payment system works in getting the funds out the door. Ignores those at the bottom who really need it 🤷🏽‍♂️ but does signal the journey towards a UBI is underway 👌 2/n
Also good to see changes to unfair Child Support payments for sole parents and investment into the Disability issues. Be interested to see what people think about that. $107m over 4 years to set up operate a new Ministry? 3/n
