In July 2025, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced their intention to form a new left-wing political party in the UK, tentatively named 'Your Party'. Quoting Wikipedia, Corbyn and Sultana mentioned wealth redistribution, nationalisation, investing in social housing and opposing the privatisation of the National Health Service. The party is expected to call for action against climate change and protection of the right to protest. [...] The party is expected to be significantly more anti-I...| Recent Questions - Politics Stack Exchange

Do Libertarians in Croatia believe that Croatian and Serbian are the same language, like left-wingers believe? Or do they believe they are different languages, like right-wingers do? Do Libertarians believe that Illyrian was a centum language or do they believe that it was a satem language? As far as I understand it, after the Serbian government committed the Kosovo genocide in the 1990s, right-wingers in Croatia consider it "politically incorrect" (not really the term they use, but it seems ...| Recent Questions - Politics Stack Exchange
I know this ruling will be appealed, but if the final ruling (after many more months and many more appeals) was that Trump’s L.A. troop deployment was illegal, what repercussions would this have? He sent all those troops to Southern California in June, so the damage has already been done. What would change if, months from now, the final ruling is that he acted illegally?| Recent Questions - Politics Stack Exchange
In 2022 Ukraine passed a law declaring negotiations with Putin to be impossible. As far as I'm aware, this makes negotiations with Russia while Putin is President illegal, but does not rule out negotiations entirely, as long as Putin is not President. However, recently Zelensky has been challenging Putin to meet him face-to-face. Since Putin is still Russian president, it seems like Zelensky is breaking Ukrainian law. How does this request work? The only thing I can think of is that the law h...| Recent Questions - Politics Stack Exchange

Interpreters are sworn, and they can't translate sentences treacherously. It's what I'm believing being sure to start this question.

Is the order of seats in the german Bundestag done according to how left/right a party is? And if yes, does this mean all the parties agree on that order, in the sense that everyone agrees "party X is more right/left than party Y"?

Have there been any public statements (from the parties involved: Russia, Ukraine etc.) as to what was in the building across the street from the British Council? It was directly impacted by two Russian missiles, so that makes a totally accidental strike unlikely. (E.g. a US-owned factory in Western Ukraine was likewise hit by two missiles.) So, I'm curious what the Russian justification was for targeting that Kyiv building in particular, and (on the opposite side) what Ukraine says was there.| Recent Questions - Politics Stack Exchange
The United States is once again in the news for refusing to allow foreign representatives to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. (This time they're targeting officials from Palestine, though they've previously denied or delayed entry of representatives from Iran, Sudan, and Russia.)

Lots of political commentators speculate that Israel will eventually lose foreign support for the war in Gaza or that such support has already been lost. But are there any objective metrics beyond pundit comments that would confirm whether this is actually true or not? So far Israel is still getting plenty of weapons from the US and no Western nation has sanctioned them due to the war, so I’m confused as to whether the loss of support is real or just sheer speculation at this point.

Inspired by the following answer (which I'm sure is not entirely serious) to a previous question of mine. Or, in the tradition of Ukrainian Saint Olga, Zelensky might also be seeking a face to face meeting in order to secure for himself an opportunity to engage in treachery. Perhaps Zelensky plans on wearing a bullet proof vest and concealing a small pistol that he could use to personally assassinate Putin. Maybe that's too old school, and modern norms have changed.
