The termination of 2021’s Bute House Agreement coalition deal between two parties that back Scotland's independence from the UK prompted th...

Not all behaviour is as expectedThis conclusion is based on an analysis of the proxy voting behaviour o...

Joe Biden has won the Democratic presidential primary in Michigan, despite a significant protest over his policy towards the war in Gaza. The US president faced no real challenger in the contest, likely winning 80% of the vote overall.
