À propos de ce contenu audio

 American Democracy sucks right now! More specifically, the United States' electoral system is outdated and needs reform to better represent its diverse population. George Cheung and Colin Cole from More Equitable Democracy probe what the U.S. can learn from Northern Ireland's adoption of proportional representation to overcome political divisions and achieve fairer representation. The episode examines the origins of the American electoral system, critiques its current inefficiencies, and makes a case for rethinking democracy by looking at Northern Ireland. Through historical context, personal stories, and expert interviews, the podcast seeks to inspire listeners to consider radical changes that can lead to a more equitable and representative democracy. Special thanks to the experts featured in this episode: Dominic Bryan, Queens University Belfast Paul Donnelly, Dead Center Tours Daragh Fitzgerald, Historical Walking Tours Claire Hanna, MP for South Belfast and Mid Down Gerry Lynch, former Executive Director of the Alliance Party (2007-2011) Sam McBride, Belfast Telegraph Music and archival references For more information on More Equitable Democracy’s work, please visit: https://www.equitabledemocracy.org/ For more information on Larj Media, please visit: https://www.larjmedia.com/
