these are very old parties. the republicans started off as the protectionist party and became the free-trade party around the 1970's. with president trump they are now the trade party. the enduring character is that the republican party has always been founded around a core constituency of people who are considered by themselves and others to be typical americans, but they are not a majority of the population. the democratic party has always been a coalition of people who were supposed some time to be typical americans but who together can be a majority. they don't always hold together and we get schisms and fights within the democratic party. evendynamic has continued as the composition of the republicans core constituency and the groups of the dem credit coalition have changed -- democratic coalition have changed. party formed in 1832 to reelect andrew jackson. in republican party formed 1854 and opposed the kansas-nebraska act in the territories. they succeeded on that in a decade or so but they have continue

will she play the party conference exactly as you said she is not leading the party anymore she has announced that she would retire from politics but she is still the chancellor and the world still cares what i'm going to meco fings who she supports and what she stands for so at the party conference she'll most likely be that sort of figure had that figurehead of that will give security to the party and that will make sure to show off that security to show that the parties not lost at sea and what direction it will take in the future you know if on homicide thank you to georgia where thousands of people have turned out onto the streets of the capital tbilisi after parliament failed to introduce proportional representation earlier this week police cleared protesters using water cannons and tear gas but it's a good actual system is unfair and gives the ruling party too much power d.w. can spend at least 7 reports from the city. for democracy and against the ruling party protests outside the georgian parliamentary elections and constitutional reform the protest has united around 20 opposition mo

more right wing party it will be i think calling it a one nation tory party will turn out to be very innocuous in deed and i think it will eventually also be punished for the fact that it says get brett sit down now but as tony said earlier that what that means is get started i mean if we go on with this we're going to have bricks that dominating everything for years i think once people realize that i wonder whether the tory party as we call it now will exist in the medium term i want to talk about undecideds because there's been talk of an extortion. are a number of people who are undecided in this election and we're talking here about a lack of certainty about a whole range of different issues how decisive will those votes be i see just after the last debates that a few more of them just a narrow margin swung towards corbin rather than johnson how decisive will that be for the outcome of. the key group of voters that is currently most undecided is labor voters in the last election who voted leave so that means that both parties are targeting those voters with their core message is

and having to navigate those kinds of relation to the democratic party. the democratic party who endorsed of course because we were i ran as an independent realizing that this connect oftentimes between what the elites are talking about what folks you know who are in power talking about versus just the basic conversations that are happening at the doors and that's kind of what motivated our campaign and made it about representation having everyone drill down for me just when you're out there you're running as an independent 3 talking to republicans you're talking right talking to unofficial you did you know what are the things they care most about when you i know you were trying to run for the school board right maybe you're saying is that what were they saying hey i really want to talk about x. what are the things they want to write i mean you know you had folks who would talk about mental health services in the schools you had folks and that was consistently by the way students especially their number one issue you have families talking about safety in

that party, the republican party, really does divide in such a way that it is not able to reform in any sort of dominant way for years. it is true that the republicans come back after woodrow wilson's presidency for that decade, but then what we see is that franklin roosevelt is able to pick up that coalition and run with it. the democrats are ensconced for many years. at the primary level, and what was important about that period, was that people were questioning party bosses. was important about that period, the progressives who really got going in the late 1890's and carried through all the way to franklin roosevelt's presidency had really been about changing the nature of who were the delegates at these national conventions? they said it is not fair that it is these party bosses or national elites. people should decide. and the people need to have a way to decide. what we saw was that the primary election was created as a way to select delegates to the convention. >> what was the first state to hold a primary? dr. brown: florida is the first to adopt a primary ballot. wisconsin real

yes, as you say, the brexit party, launching not a ma nifesto brexit party, launching not a manifesto today, but a contract with the people. my understanding is that that document will be relatively short, when it comes to actual ma nifestos, short, when it comes to actual manifestos, not a programme for government as such but outlining some of the policies that you were just talking about there. why are they not doing a manifesto? welcome nigel farage has been explaining this morning. i think a contract with the people makes more sense, i think people understand it. the point i am making is that trust, faith and confidence in our entire democratic system has never been lower than it is right now. and i think we see brexit, as the brexit party, is the beginning of a real, fundamental change, not the end. party, is the beginning of a real, fundamental change, not the endlj think nigel farage will perhaps be trying to reboot his campaign as well, because they have seen a bit ofa dip well, because they have seen a bit of a dip in the polls, not long ago they also announced that they woul

the first one is from matthew butcher, this is green party and labour party supporter. he said... on the other side i want you to bring you from leave dot eu. so this gives you an idea, i hope, of the sort of feeling is that we are seen on both sides. in one of the things we have seen picked up very, very quickly on almost every conversation thread i have read on facebook about this story, one person or more has tweeted or posted a picture, which has come from the chief rabbi‘s own facebook account from july. here we are, this is when he posted saying congratulations to borisjohnson. they he posted saying congratulations to boris johnson. they are saying effectively this shows that he is a tory, he is the tory rabbi. a lot of people, a lot of fake news websites have written this up but this is proof that he is a biased voice in this political debate. in the wording of that he say something along the lines of he is a front of the jewish community. along the lines of he is a front of thejewish community. people are saying he‘s a friend of boris johnson. 50 saying he‘s a friend

party rebel their own party line which means no cooperation with the far right if that is something they certainly felt in these individual voices was no longer sustainable and we heard from alexander garland something that could be seen as his legacy that the aim is that a weakened c.d.u. angela merkel's party would be so we can that has no other option than to cooperate and join a coalition with the far right if this is wishful thinking here but it's something that's already openly debated in some conservative c.d.u. circles and hence the direction that the party will take here is crucial. ok make electricity to these chief political editor from the far right party congress. to iraq now where prime minister says he will resign after 40 people were killed in the latest clashes between security forces and anti-government protesters the death toll stands unrest broke out in october has now surpassed 400. i celebrate sions at baghdad's liberation square protesters traded stones for songs after the prime minister announced he would resign following months of deadly protests but his departur

the center right party and the socialist center left party in the past were able to form a coalition on their own you know they had 50 percent of the verge more up more than 50 percent almost 50 percent and they just needed to bring in a few seats a few other parties in smaller parties now they really need to form a growing grand coalition actually to make this work and they really too will need to learn that craft so very much a wait and see situation situation later lois at the headquarters of spain socialist party in madrid thanks very much. celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall have been extended to the famous bridge of spies in the nearby city of potsdam the gleaner bridge saw the exchange of cold war prisoners a laser show marked the crossings reopening a day after the wall fell. beethoven's ode to joy rang through the night air as red laser beams illuminated the famous bridge between west berlin and potsdam 30 years ago on the 10th of november 9089 the border crossing at the clinic a bridge was reopened images from that historic night shore 1000

burial parties lincoln started off as the protectionist party and free-trade party in the seventies now with president trumpet is the trade party. the enduring character is the republican party has always been around a core constituency of people who are considered by themselves and others to be typical americans but they are not a majority of the population. the democratic party has always beenay a coalition about groups those are not typical americans but when they hold together can be a majority so they always hold together and then there are fights at the democratic party and that dynamic has continued even through the republican core constituency with groups in the democratic coalition have changed. things are very old political parties. democratic party formed 1832 p jackson therew republican party formed in 1854 to close the slave react in the territories and they succeeded within a decade. but they have continued everve since. >> in your introduction you go back to election day 2016 it is a poor guide to reality but they give historical perspective the democratic losses of the e

what are the parties saying the past. what are the parties sa ' the past. what are the parties saying now? we are seeing an election going green of which i've never seen election going green of which i've never seen before. how do you go to the loo in the arctic? for the last 15 years, david has been reporting on climate change from all over the world. what this is all about is how rapidly the country should reduce its carbon emissions to zero. the green party want to do that by 2030 and spend £100 billion a year doing it. the conservatives say their target date of 2050 is much more realistic also but labour, snp, lib dems and others say that's way too late, they want to act much more rapidly. but the brexit party has not come out with a policy get. all the major parties are fighting to be the major parties are fighting to be the political green giant. but actions speak louder than words, so let's look at the data we actually have. the guardian did a study and gave each mpa score on how they voted in parliament on climate issues. each dot represents an mp'

party any more. and still something i'm thinking about. will get back to that. does not quest —— nice question wittering. given your background as a minister but as a party person, the face of the party at election time, which we all recognise is a pretty exposed place to be in. you at least have a sense of detachment now or are you still such a party creature that even having left the comments you still kind of mentally are in the fray quit soi kind of mentally are in the fray quit so i hope i am a bit more detached. i spent 31 years empowerment... and i decided the summer empowerment... and i decided the summer not to fight again. to answer your question directly, i suspect is polling day gets nearer i will start missing the fray. i have been quite quickly involved in previous years. you've got to move on there is a younger generation of politicians andl younger generation of politicians and i think 30 years is probably fairenough. and i think 30 years is probably fair enough. i would ask a lit

party, and now, i think there's so much extreme within each party. there's parties out there that i would never vote for but, actually, i do like some of their policies, and then the party that i would vote for, i don't quite like some of theirs and that's never happened to me before. with a nod to elections past, we've built ourselves an —ometer and this can test anything we like, we can make it an integrity—ometer. do you think our political leaders, our political parties have got integrity? is this bad? that's bad, yeah. that's quite high, isn't it? a sincerity—ometer. bring it up to average. i think some are sincere. i think it goes with integrity for me, so it would be down there. now it's an ability—ometer. i would go all the way. really, full marks on ability? these are talented people? it will get done i'm going to bring it down, i think... a bunch of clowns. that's what it is, a bunch of clowns. that's my score there. come election day, birmingham's polling stations will open an hour before sunrise and close six hours after sunset. t

party conference thanks for that. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world in japan foreign ministers from the g. 20 group of countries are holding their last day of meetings even discussing international trade and global governance as well as sustainable development goals korea and japan have also announced they'll continue an intelligence sharing agreement that was set to expire. pope francis has left thailand initiating the 1st papal visit to the country in more than 3 decades is visit to thailand's catholic minority is part of a weeklong tour of asia his next stop is japan. in chile thousands of protesters have gathered in santiago for a 5th week of protests police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators who have been protesting against social and economic inequality and it's the international has accused security forces of using excessive force. colombia's government has ordered a curfew in the capital bogota after widespread protests across the country against planned pension and labor

this radio interview was timed to precede the brexit party's party launch, which nigel farage is going to reveal, i suppose. he has candidates across the country, and they have already said, the conservative party, borisjohnson, has said they will not be doing a deal with nigel farage. there are people, of course, who would argue that the conservative party has moved significantly to the right a nyway moved significantly to the right anyway and has become the party of leave, so to that extent it may make no difference. in fact, in the recent vote for boris johnson's deal, every single conservative mp voted for the deal. so in that respect it doesn't make any difference whether the brexit party is there or not. i don't personally think that they are going to be the force that some people are talking about. certainly the talk that is out there that they will win 20 plus seats is, i think, for the birds. looking at another aspect of this radio interview, donald trump being heavily critical of the opposition labour leader, jeremy corbyn. it appears, and the financial times has picked up on

we are the only party... we are the only party at this election that has a prospectus to do that. we have a deal that, as i say, is ready to go. let's get on and do it. and that, i think, is the way to bring our country together and to enable us all to focus on the priorities we care about, particularly the nhs. as borisjohnson life the hall a few minutes ago, he waved a copy of the ma nifesto minutes ago, he waved a copy of the manifesto at journalist and minutes ago, he waved a copy of the manifesto atjournalist and said, read it. that will not take too long because it is only 59 pages and has lots of pictures in it. good for us. joining us is the former cabinet minister nicky morgan. it is hard to escape the thought this is a safety first manifesto, no radical policies, it is a cautious, steady as you go document. i would not ee, as you go document. i would not agree, there are two big issues in this campaign, the first that we have been debating for 3.5 years, brexit, and a clear policy from the conservatives about getting brexit done but the prime minister has only beenin don

parties are coming to the protests by the people and. while the current government party wants to watch or good the protests to the previous governments just to polarize the society but this is not the case civil society protesting here and yes we don't want my jury tyrion elections because we don't want any party gaining total power being a government or oppositional party we don't want total power constitutional majority in parliament for anyone because it hurts democracy and therefore. cannot make problems well we had like 2 digit growth during the previous government now we have evolved 4 percent g.d.p. growth and if we grow in that pace georgios the developing country will need them more than half a century to catch up with european union's poorest country. by g.d.p. capito if we continue growth 'd with the same pace so does not. well the current government repeats all the mistakes of previous government but doesn't repeat it successes and that's a problem and we just want the chance of the change in this neat system you should know

councillor, max aschenbach, from the left—leaning satirical party, called simply the party, tabled the motion. he says he believed it was necessary for politicians to ‘position themselves clearly‘ against the far—right. reinhard shleeker is a journalist from zdf television in germany. he said the use of the term ‘emergency‘ has not come without controversy. this has become a motion that the majority of the dresden council accepted against the vote of the christian democratic union, the conservatives, who basically and some others as well said that the word, state of emergency is far exaggerated and this state of emergency regularly means that democratic rights are suspended, and s0 democratic rights are suspended, and so many of those liberal democrats who voted in favour of the motion are not very comfortable with the word, state of emergency. there must bea word, state of emergency. there must be a problem at some level with the far right as perceived by other politicians in the region. in dresden in 2018 there have been 60 crimes of attacks by far right groups and the soâ€

the labour party have a 7000 majority — that is a seat where the briggs at party's chairman is standing, which they see is their number one target seat in the uk —— brea ks number one target seat in the uk —— breaks it party. they hope to do very well, and yet at the election in 2017, the conservatives came second. conservatives have said today that they feel being a candidate there in this election. so nigel farage has made a potentially big concession to nigel farage, his request for a brexiteers pact with the conservatives at the election to not stand against each other in seats they view as winnable has not come to pass. so that potentially makes it harder for the come to pass. so that potentially makes it harderfor the brexit come to pass. so that potentially makes it harder for the brexit party to make those advances in places like hartlepool, that they might have wa nted like hartlepool, that they might have wanted to. nigel farage's message to the audience today is that he says labour have taken the votes of people in the northeast for granted forfar votes of people in t

democracy in our party. and they will come to a decision today and no doubt you will hear about it later on. the issue, beth, thank you, on poll ratings. while, i have given my answer that i don't particularly follow poll ratings. all i know is our message is one of inclusivity in our society, about social justice is one of inclusivity in our society, about socialjustice we wa nt to society, about socialjustice we want to bring to this country and this world and our messages to everybody who is not yet registered to vote, get on that register to vote. in the 2017 election, there we re vote. in the 2017 election, there were lines of experts in tv studios and radio studios lining up at the beginning of the campaign to write off the labour party. what happened to then? i will tell you that is, this campaign is one of people in their communities on the ground where they are in the midlands, in the north, and scott in scotland, and whales, all across the country, bringing people together. to discuss and vote for

of party leadersjust a elected by an overwhelming majority of party leaders just a few months ago and there is other polling that says something different to what you have just says something different to what you havejust said. we have says something different to what you have just said. we have great candidates right across the country, seats across the southwest and elsewhere. liberal democrats are in a position to win seats from the conservatives. for anyone concerned about boris johnson conservatives. for anyone concerned about borisjohnson majority government, about a hard brexit deal that he has cooked up, that nigel farage is supporting that could end up farage is supporting that could end up in farage is supporting that could end upina farage is supporting that could end up in a no—deal brexit, the way to stop boris is to vote lib dems, because the lib dems can win seats from the conservatives stop right there is some disquiet in your party about the decision to revoke article 50 if you were to win a majority. doesn't that alienate some voters in the middle and do you regre

breck said party leader nigel farrar says his party will not contest a ruling conservative party seized in the december general election it's a promise a boy's johnson nigel fries says that he didn't want. to win the election johnson has welcomed the party's recognition that another hung parliament is a threat to bracks it i have got no great love for the conservative party addle but i can see right now that by giving barr is half a chance by keeping him honest and holding him to account by getting people in and by stopping the fanatics in billable democrats who signed us up for everything with the united states of europe european army united i mean they even want to revoke the result of the referendum no i think our action this announcement today prevents a 2nd referendum from happening and back to me i think right now is the single most important thing. jordan says he's committed to its peace treaty with israel despite ending a 25 year deal that allowed israeli toy sense of free access to 2 large stretches of its territory along the border jordan's foreign minister a man safadi says i

there is only one party that can deliver brexit for you and that's a brexit party. none of the parties have come up with the real policy. you had the conservatives who have not had a clear policy because they're busy fighting with themselves. labour who have been like teflon threat the entire process who change their stance on a daily basis virtually and let's be frank about it their position right now is that they want to put the country through more debate, more hesitancy, more if this kind of zombie state and literally, their proposal is that once we get a vote and 69 months‘ time, we were headed back to the people to decide again, and then they will campaign against their own policy. you can say the same about nigel farage. we have a deal anyone to go back and negotiate another deal and you wonder what they want to deliver brexit or wants to be on the airwaves up in his own ego? the devil is in the detail because the withdrawal agreement is not brexit. it keeps us tied in, it does not allow us the freedom we voted for in the referendum and it is not brexit, it

party congress is taking place now these congresses a usually about the party recalibrating working out where they stand on political issues could we see a shift within the party this weekend. we could because the party is due to elect its new leadership they currently have a double leadership europe moisten and alexander downer and alexander downer and wants to retire from that post and held a brief speech already here this morning where he also once again summed up what the clear him of the party is he said that one day i'm going to michael c. to you would only have one option left for a coalition and that would be them so this is something that particularly wants to work towards bearing in mind of course that it shifts further to the extreme right that simply is not an option currently also isn't because the c.d.u. says it won't even cooperate with the f.t. as it is right now we're talking about that part of the party how strong is the more radical wing of the a.f.p. . well the death of the wing certainly gained traction through recent election results in eastern states here in germa

party conference after months of criticism party need to annex it come caraballo called her critics telling them in short to back me me so for now at least it seems that the issue of the party leadership has been removed from the table but with germany set to head to the polls once again in less than 2 years time a.k.k. now has a what to prove that she's still a worthy candidate in the meantime competition is still lining up within the seating here including one of her loudest critics matts despite mat's striking a somewhat more conciliatory tone than usual today he still likely to throw his hat into the ring in a pitch to become successor as the next chancellor. a small archipelago in the pacific ocean could become the world's newest country the autonomy this region of is located in the solomons and currently part of papua new guinea it's going to hold an independence referendum on saturday voters non-binding many locals hope it will bring an end to a long suffered a struggle. these. men used to fight puppet new guinea and soldiers for independence now they're hoping to achieve that goal i

i suppose this is an offer from the brexit party with an alliance with the tory party but also a threat. this offer from the tory party but also a threat. this offerfrom nigel farage is clearly designed to appear as reasonable as possible, and to put the higher purpose, if you like, of leaving the european union, over and above and beyond any party loyalty, but, this is a general election campaign, nota referendum. the but, this is a general election campaign, not a referendum. the idea of some sort of grand leave alliance looks like wishful thinking at this point, because boris johnson looks like wishful thinking at this point, because borisjohnson is not about to ditch the brexit deal that he has negotiated with the eu and sta ked he has negotiated with the eu and staked his premiership on getting through parliament, and labour appear in no mood from the top down at least to do any deal with the brexit party either. so, nigel farage will have to follow through with stumping up the hundreds of candidates across england, scotland and wales, as you saw, promising to challenge every seat,

she play the party conference exactly as you said she is not leading the party anymore she has announced that she would retire from politics but she is still the chancellor and the world still cares what i'm going to meco things who she supports and what she stands for so at the party conference she'll most likely be that sort of figure had that figurehead that will give security to the party and that will make sure to show off that security to show that the party is not lost at sea and what direction it will take in the future. on homicide thank you. now to australia where firefighters are battling hundreds of bushfires across the eastern and southern regions least 6 people have been killed since the blazes broke out more than a month ago smoke from the fuss has blanketed the country's biggest city sydney. as bushfires tear through acres of australian farmland a rip tide of fire and fury firefighters and their trucks can only try to catch up . for some it's already too late the fires have left a trail of destruction in their wake. all. the stuff is. further up north critics accuse the p

much and you vote for the bracks a party will eat into any of either of the established parties they could eat into the labor party's votes but also that targeting the conservative voters there are disenfranchised with bracks it and i just want to move more quickly than boris johnson's conservative party is offering also we've got the liberal democrats they are the arch remain party and they might also siphon up quite a lot of the remains vote which might not help the labor party so it's really very difficult at the moment to predict how this is going to end at the election in the middle of december bigot mohsin reporting on the start of the election campaign in the u.k. thank you very much for that update from london. and this fall in the champions league today by and munich are hosting the greek side olympiacos by n one the reverse fiction fixture but have otherwise struggled this season this will be their 1st match since the exit of coach nico cool watch on sunday following their 51 loss to frankfurt in the bundesliga now the players have to show that they can get back to their wi

labour party. boot. they will offer you the glorious opportunity, that if you vote for them, they will negotiate a new deal in brussels. they will put it to the british electorate in a referendum, and then campaign against the very deal that they have negotiated. applause this labour party, and i will be coming back in the speech to the labour party, because too much of this conversation that is going on in this country today is about the brexit party and the tory party, and it seems to me that the media and everybody else has forgotten the fa ct everybody else has forgotten the fact that 5 million labour voters voted for brexit, and have now been betrayed by the labour party. applause so, just to recap before that out burst of enthusiasm, it is revoke with the liberal democrats, it is a second referendum with labour, and the choice being remain or reform of remain. and then, we have the conservative party. they are telling us... well, last time round she told us, do you remember, brexit means brex

so the republican party is the third oldest party. second oldest this british conservative feature which karlyn made reference. founded at least by lord blake's reckoning and his biography of the conservative party. in 1846, zarqawi thinks it's on its way out. i looked at the recent poll michigan and suggest they will win a 58 vote majority if and when britain has another general election in the house of commons. so, these parties having achieved their earl goals within a dozen years are nonetheless still operating 187 and 165 years after their founding. and in a time when america has grown from a nation of about 20 million to about 320 million people, we don't have many institutions aside from churches that go back that far in america. and so i wanted to make the point that these have lasted a long time, and to argue that that's true for some fundamental reasons. to there some structural factors in our political system that tend to favor two-party system, the electoral college for presidential elections, the single member district, w

it is a seat where the brexit party won't be standing. it isa brexit party won't be standing. it is a conservative held seats. 0ne brexit party won't be standing. it is a conservative held seats. one of a fight between labour and the conservatives to see if boris johnson can keep this seat. it is a former mining town, one that has seen a former mining town, one that has seen a lot of change. that is why there was a change in political leaning at the last election. boris johnson under conservatives campaigning at north nottinghamshire today. he was visiting farm and pushing his views on the environment. is a big message about getting brexit done. later today, the prime minister raising his environmental policies and promising to plant 30 million trees if he becomes prime minister again.|j wa nted becomes prime minister again.|j wanted to ask you about the trees. they had this promise that they are making, the conservatives, as you say that, a large number of trees to be planted but they had made promises like this before and have not been able to keep them. a sceptic would say,

the parties are not so different. labour are planning to spend more by 2024, but that is out of a total budget of £155 billion. so both parties are proposing significant increases which should help to stop the current crisis. but they don't come close to the large 6% rises given to the nhs under new labour. jeremy corbyn has ruled out holding a second referendum on scottish independence during the first term of a labour government. aides later said the position could change if the snp performed well in the scottish parliamentary elections in 2021. he made the remarks during a visit to glasgow, where earlier he was heckled by a man, accusing him of sympathising with terrorists. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley has the detail: (sot 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley has the details.sot jeremy corbyn is taurus, and hasn't got off to a great start. today, mr corbin in an interview with a broadcaster said that he would not allow a referendum at all in the first term of a labour government, which means in t

the democratic party in the 19th century was a limited government party, the party that tempted to favor local options, a party that was happy to tolerate slavery and segregation in the south in the saloon in the north. the republican party was more of a federal government party. so the parties have changed and adapted but at the same time, this is a central argument in my book, there has been a persistent basic character personality dna of each of the parties that in my view has been unchanging for 165 years and which is a significant launch in their resilience. the republican party has been concentrated around consistency of people seeing of typical americans. there never a majority. they change over time but it continues from yankee protestants in the 19th 1 century to white married christians today, but the basic character on a court of constituency has continued. the democratic party has been a coalition of out groups, different groups of people regarded by themselves and others and is not typical americans but when united make up a majority, andrew jackson's party was a coalition o

we are not looking to target political parties any credible parties are going to meet these thresholds. well now this higher threshold could push out the majority of minor parties including the working families in the green party for instance their members immediately expressed their disapproval of the panel's decision the public financing commission was created to improve our democracy not restrict it and the proposal must respect the constitutional rights of fusion voting and the role of minor parties in new york to mark received by setting the bar so high for entry the commission willfully ignore the systemic barriers to 3rd party success because in reality their bosses don't want competition you are more angry reaction beyond the 2 main parties one of the leaders of the libertarian party's national committee thinks the decision restricts american voters choice of the day. so what we see right now is just an aspect of an ongoing war to silence all political dissenting parties and every state you see which ever parties are dominant trying to silence all possible challengers it's goin

what about other parties? it's not just story. what about other parties? it's notjust the labour party. this example from the conservative party. what appears to be the conservative party in finchley and golders green. in north london. the headline there, action on countrypos my priorities, it looks very much like a local newspaper. we put that to the candidate. who directed us to the conservative party headquarters. we haven't received a response. and then this example from the liberal democrats in the chipping barnet constituency in the west of london, the candidate there, spokesperson for the candidate said this is a well—established practice using this of format. clearly he said it would come across as a political communication. i should come across as a political communication. ishould point come across as a political communication. i should point out we looked more widely at this so we could see more examples of the liberal democrats doing this than any other political party, we found at least seven or eight other lib dems candidates using this sam

national party isn't my party so you can see it's probably going to happen all the same but it's all the scottish national party will be dominance across scotland the conservatives will be dominance in the south the liberal democrats will do well in london labor what people's view states in a way it's all eyes peter must be on the north of england because items i know in traditional labor voters they've only had a currency earl a buck they hate the you they hate the because they regard it as the epitome of capitalism what privatisation or free market economy economy they want to light it needs and corbett became the leader auntie and now they feel out jeremy corbin is actually signed in we've the human capitalists project they cannot vote labor because. because they've got it it's new your little economics choice that's what is so conservative also for the drexel and it would seem going by opinion polls and opinion polls are just a snapshot of how some want to. go about those opinion polls they are going to be voting conservative which pay to hook is credible so here marcus it made i

conservative party and the of the parties saying that will stand 600 areas and that could be splitting the vote and taking the votes away from the conservatives as well, isn't it? while outwardly for the last week or so, the various events that nigel faraj has done is he has talked about taking the fight the conservatives and labour in all of the rest of it, locally, we are seeing quite a few examples of the brexit party candidates saying well, iam not brexit party candidates saying well, i am not sure if this is the right thing to do. it struck me as an event that the brexit party did that we re event that the brexit party did that were nigel faraj said, this is not brexit to describe the deal, there was polite applause but not a standing ovation and there is an internal conversation still going on about whether or not from their perspective, this could be counterproductive. and there are a lot of tory mps pushing really hard back. so it would be really big for borisjohnson, a back. so it would be really big for boris johnson, a really back. so it would be really big for borisjohnson,

norman, as this campaign kicks off, all the parties are trying to make the three parties are talking about a remain alliance. apart from that they are trying to pull back and basically say, vote for us. there is talk about a hung parliament, coalitions and groupings. we are nowhere near them at the moment. each party is trying to perturb it and an sake make the protest, we are different but we are distinctive. jo swinson was saying, we are the red oak party. boris johnson swinson was saying, we are the red oak party. borisjohnson would say, iam the oak party. borisjohnson would say, i am the person who would deliver on brexit and jeremy corbyn said he would bring about real change in society but that nicola sturgeon saying scotland must have the freedom to choose its own future and the greens with a huge spending commitment to get rid of fossil fuels. thank you. boris johnson is going to be going to the palace later to see the queen. parliament dissolved at one minute past midnight but it is all part of the protocol to see the queen as parliament dissolves an election campaign launch

you have the unite to remain, the alliance of remaining parties can read into that. you have the unite to remain, the alliance of remaining parties, plaid cymru, lib dems and the greens. you have individual races with high profile people standing as independents. then people from the parties he had done deals or not deals and some of the rejected people standing as independents. —— who had done. that may different elections. all of that makes this elections. all of that makes this election completely fascinating and unpredictable and very hard to read. that said, it is clear the brexit party is more likely to take votes from conservative turning voters than labour voters but it is central to the tory strategy by trying to get hacked off disgruntled labour neither in places like bishop auckland and parts of the midlands and parts of the north—east. that is their target and that is a gamble. in numberio and their target and that is a gamble. in number 10 and tory hq, they reckon we might be living through this big alignment where people recognise more leave the a
