Protest in Belgrade

The road to elections and who’s on it: What’s the status of citizens’ rebellion after eight months of action?

The government’s tactic of pretending not to notice civil rebellion and a comprehensive social and political crisis, i.e. to play the waiting game over a long period of time has, at least it appears so, started to work. Summer’s begun, the intensity of protests has gone down, the students are slowly returning to their academic duties. Despite everything though, small fires of resistance are continuing to ignite, mostly on the local level. What remains is the question of how to continue, that is, how to fulfill the main demand put before the regime – the calling of snap parliamentary elections?

In Search Of a Base: The Democratic Party and the US Election

Trump's victory in the 2016 elections accelerated the destabilization of the party system in the United States.
