Comparing EE constitutions actually sounds like an engaging thread exercise.

edit: I just reread that and I want to apologize; my idea of "engaging" might not match y'all's.

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

US healthcare has some specific benefits, such as the rapid development and availability of new medical tech/methods (primarily to people who can afford it), and physician training, which remains incredibly aggressive and selective compared to a lot of other systems. These are entwined with, but not entirely caused by, the private healthcare system. Looking in from outside, though, or through the lens of experiences abroad, people in other systems can see that US healthcare offers some incredible advantages (again, limited to the people who can afford it), and they can attribute it just to the system not being public (which is itself a simplification). It's true that some of those advantages would be compromised in the transition to the capacity of a full public system, or would require seismic refactoring and reinvestment...which is what should actually happen.

Could someone provide more information about what the EU policy toolkit is that's used to reduce/eliminate low level corruption?

A Harmony (Russian socdems) MP saying �they�ve surrendered� in response to the second round of flowers being kept at the monument. If she doesn�t get censured or kicked out of the party, this is going to be it for my votes with them. Going to be a fun choice then for whom to vote, between racist �progressives�, centrists subservient to the gambling lobby, and various flavours of conservatives.

You should develop a non-rashist socdem party.

Also, low-key baffled that this doesn�t apply to women. Okay, let�s say you�re an old-time Soviet-brained sexist boomer who doesn�t believe they�re physically capable when a short visit to hospital would show that it�s all 22-year-old girls running on 3 hours of sleeping turning over people in beds and whatnot - why wouldn�t you then make the civil service alternative mandatory for them?

Because you're that sexist, or you know your constituency is that sexist and/or female and self-interested.

Thanks for all your effort! I have a few questions/suggestions:

1. Consider making the OP a link index going to the individual parties, that will make it easier to parse. That chart's just really handy.
2. Internal references to other parties being links to their respective posts (e.g. around the LPV fracture) would also help. The same is true for your opinion post at the end.
3. What specifically do you mean by "accountable promise"?
4. Under SV, could you clarify what "doubled tax returns for single-child families" means?
5. Should I understand KPP as being similar to the old technocratic movement in the US?
6. What is Saskaņa's deal- are they basically just trying to disrupt the current government at any cost? Is there some sort of interplay happening between them and NA?
7. Under S!, what is "the school reform" they are nominally opposing?
8. Under LPV, what the gently caress does "making Latvia the Dubai of the North" mean? Oil extraction?
9. PRO seems good (which would explain why they're doing better than previously, and why they're a frequent target). What's their position on nuclear energy and grid integration?
10. Slight typo, "brining" under the AL entry.
11. Regarding AS, should we understand the splintering as being done to preserve its power relative to ZZS?
12. In your reaction/summary post, "AV" should be "AL".
13: Regarding your opinion post for R, idk what you mean by "GTO".

Generally, this layout of policy programmes and party splits is less depressing than I'd feared. It's very interesting to see how a tendency toward fracturing affecting the right rather than the left has the effect of leaving the major conservative/central party far saner than the US Republicans. Maybe I'm misattributing the causation though.

GTO sounds similar to, in certain respects, the very good and Trump-discontinued US President's Fitness Challenge prorgam.

9. Yeah, they're cool people, despite me having some personal history with an individual party member, being at odds with their historical immigration policy (a few years back, they cited Denmark as an example to look up to). I just wish there would be a bit more pragmatic, or communicate their pragmatism better, since otherwise they sometimes feel like �I'll fix her� category of dating mistakes, but policymaking approach.

Their programme doesn't mention nuclear at all, and I'm not sure what their historical stances on that have been. Based on the way things are here in general, I would say that it's less than 50% likely that they view it non-negatively. What you meant with grid integration?

I noted another party (blanking on which) was advocating linking the power grid to neighboring EU states.

Bananas have a distinct flavour, although it's also worth noting that the artificial banana flavour in candies etc. is based on a cultivar that got killed by Panama disease in the 1960's, so it's nothing like our current Cavendish.

Getting a report from the USGS of a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hitting Turkey near Nurdagi. This appears to be the largest earthquake to hit the region in recorded history, by a significant margin.

A common explanation for a strongman state doing things that appear nonsensical is that either a) they are actions intended to resolve or address internal narrative or actual conflict purposes, which are more immediate to the leadership (see, in this case, Hannibal Rex's explanation), or b) there's been a misinformation feedback loop for the leadership such that they are buying their own propaganda and increasingly taking actions that are detached from reality. These two patterns are also mutually reinforcing, especially when there's greater state control of media.
