Re-Tweeting Election #Ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD
Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD 1 Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Introduction The 2011 General Election was the first Twitter Election in Ireland. The appetite for increased engagement, accountability and interaction via the social media platform followed the resignation of Defence Minister Willie O’Dea in February 2010, in part because of a carefully composed tweet. By January 2011, Twitter was part of the daily political discourse, as candidates posted their thoughts, policies, pictures and links in the competitive war to raise profiles and attract eyeballs. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows your ‘followers’ to view you in a different lens from the normal political script, and to engage with you on a variety of topics political, personal, trivial and even philosophical. It also allows politicians break some news at appropriate times, and share views on national events without the constraints of a formal press release. This ebook is based on all the tweets published over the course of the General Election campaign, from the announcement of Labour’s motion of no confidence in the government to the day of the election result. It is important to consider that the commentary on the tweets was completed in the months immediately after the election in February 2011, when my memory of events and emotions was still raw and fresh, and not two years later. Therefore, the commentary provided is frozen in 2011 and has not been altered to take account of two years in government and developments in 2013. The tweets and reflections are frozen in time. -

De Effecten Van Electorale Kwetsbaarheid Op De Individuele Standpuntbepaling Van Parlementariërs: Een Onderzoek Naar De Ierse Abortuskwestie
Naam: Maarten van Nieuw Amerongen Studentnummer: 1545620 Studie: Political Science MSc (afstudeerrichting Parties, Parliaments and Democracy) Scriptiebegeleider: dr. Simon Otjes Tweede lezer: dr. Frits Meijerink Datum: 19-06-2020 Woorden (excl. bijlages): 9.973 De effecten van electorale kwetsbaarheid op de individuele standpuntbepaling van parlementariërs: een onderzoek naar de Ierse abortuskwestie Masterscriptie Politicologie Maarten van Nieuw Amerongen (2020) Abstract De parlementaire arena wordt door volksvertegenwoordigers gebruikt om zich te electoraal te profileren. Aan de hand van de Ierse Health Act 2018 wordt in deze studie onderzocht in hoeverre electorale stabiliteit een voorspeller is van individuele standpuntbepaling bij abortuskwesties. Met behulp van een innovatieve rubriekmethode worden de speeches van 45 Ierse parlementariërs geanalyseerd, op basis waarvan vastgesteld wordt dat er slechts een beperkt verband waarneembaar is tussen electorale kwetsbaarheid en de mate waarin TD’s uitgesproken standpunten verwoorden. Geconstateerd wordt dat kiezersopvattingen niet noodzakelijkerwijs leidend zijn voor de standpuntbepaling van electoraal kwetsbare parlementariërs. Naarmate hun districten minder eenduidig gestemd hebben bij het abortusreferendum in 2018, kiezen zij er vaker voor om überhaupt geen eigen standpunt in te nemen over de abortuskwestie. 1. Inleiding Op 25 mei 2018 heeft de Ierse bevolking per referendum besloten om het grondwettelijke verbod op abortus, beter bekend als het Achtste Amendement, te schrappen. Aan dit referendum ging een burgerforum vooraf. De regering van Fine Gael-premier Leo Varadkar heeft de aanbevelingen van deze zogenoemde Citizens’ Assembly grotendeels overgenomen. De Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 (hierna: Health Act 2018) werd op 27 september in de Dáil Éireann, het Ierse Lagerhuis, gepresenteerd door de Minister van Gezondheidszorg, Simon Harris. -

Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him. -
