Day 30 cont 🚫🥔🤓🚶‍♂️

“#PeterDutton (#Liberal) has recently been giving all, or nearly all, #journalists a question each day at his press conferences, most recently going around in a circle so everyone gets a turn (and to avoid #journos shouting over each other). But today he took only a handful of #questions, skipping over a number of journalists, in a way he normally doesn’t.”

…

“‘Why have we been skipped over?’ one journalist asked.

“Well, we’re going to go this way,” he replied.

Dutton was asked about his Sky comments in the last question he took before CUTTING THE PRESS CONFERENCE SHORT.”

I wrote yesterday about our new Amnesty project and community building and how healthy communities need empathy and care to be able to do the hard work of activism: blog.weareopen.coop/strengthen

Today @monteiro published a WONDERFUL piece about coalition building and explains that we don't all have to agree: buttondown.com/monteiro/archiv

..."#Obama stood firm on the idea that the way to reclaim #democracy is to build #coalitions around taking action on #issues that matter to the #American people without regard to personal #identities or #political affiliations. #Pluralism, Obama said, “is about recognizing that in a democracy, #power comes from forging #alliances, and building coalitions, and making room in those coalitions not only for the woke but also for the waking.”

And that, in many ways,’”...

Petit tutoriel des #gouvernements de #coalitions à l’usage de nos amis français

👉 "La #France s’apprête à former un gouvernement avec plusieurs partis (en en évitant soigneusement un). Ça tombe bien, en #Belgique, on a acquis un fameux savoir-faire en la matière. On se permet quelques conseils utiles."

Instead of accepting that #India made a mistake by giving Political Parties Constitutional legitimacy, Ravish Kumar is suggesting that we do what Britain does - have a Shadow Cabinet.
This is what a #Colonised Mind does to our analytical abilities.
Indian #Constitution was designed to be free from Party Politics - People elect Leaders, it is the job of the MPs to form #coalitions and work for everyone's interest. Disagreements are expected in a big, diverse country, consensus > majoritarianism.

「Research organisation #GoodGovernanceAfrica has published its latest analysis of the best and worst-performing #municipalities for 2024 – and the results throw up an interesting fact: #coalitions don’t necessarily result in catastrophe.
In no fewer than 10 of the 20 best-performing municipalities, no single party had an outright majority.

[…]

But the number of successful #coalition administrations is surprising, considering the awful mess that the #Gauteng municipalities have got themselves into with their attempts.
Desai has some interesting ideas about the differences between municipalities that have performed well under coalitions and those that have not, but the results are important considering the possibility – or perhaps likelihood – that SA’s next national government may be a coalition.
It’s crucial to be aware that these results are not survey-based; they are drawn from as many factual sources as Good Governance Africa could dig up.
The organisation generates what it describes as a Governance Performance Index for each #municipality, including the metros, based on publicly available assessments. These include reports by the #AuditorGeneral, National Treasury, the Department of Water and Sanitation’s #BlueDrop, #GreenDrop and No Drop reports, and research measuring residents’ satisfaction with their municipality. 」

“The evolution of cooperation required out-group #hatred, which is really sad,” said Nicholas Christakis, a Yale sociologist

This is just as true on today’s political stage. There are two major parties, and their contests are viewed as zero-sum outcomes.

#Win or #lose.

The presidency is the ultimate example: There are no consolation prizes for the loser.

No researcher argues that human nature is the sole, or even the primary, cause of today’s #polarization.

But savvy political operatives can exploit, leverage and encourage it.
And those operatives are learning from their triumphs in #divide-and-#conquer politics.

Here’s where psychology gives way to political science.

The American political system may cultivate “out-group” hatred, as academics put it.

🔹One of the scarce resources in this country is political #power at the highest levels of government. 🔹

The country has no parliamentary system in which multiple parties form governing #coalitions.

Add to this fact 🔹#redistricting that ensures there are fewer truly #competitive congressional races.🔹

The two parties have inexorably moved further apart ideologically, and leaders are more likely to be punished — “#primaried” — if they reach across the aisle.

And because many more districts are now 🔹deeply red or blue, 🔹rather than a mix of constituencies, House members have fewer reasons to adopt moderate positions.

Dieses Dokument zur Weiterentwicklung des #PlanS für wissenschaftliches Publizieren hat es in sich: coalition-s.org/towards-respon

Die #CoalitionS schlägt darin einen Umbau des Publikationssystems hin zu einem #scholarled communication ecosystem vor. Das geht über den bisherigen Plan S (= öffentliche Forschung muss Open Access sein, wie ist egal und es wird auf jeden Fall finanziert) hinaus. Weg vom kommerziellen Bezahl-Open-Access mit APCs, hin zu Infrastrukturen in Forschendenhand. Sehr gut!
