Politicians live longer than the populations they represent: new research

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

In many countries, inequalities in income and wealth have been rising since the 1980s. It has been estimated that the top 1% of income earners globally earn 20% of total income. But inequality isn’t just about wealth – elite groups also have advantages over the rest of society in areas such as education and health. They also tend to live longer. Life expectancy of the top 1% of income earners in the US is almost 15 years longer than the bottom 1%.

Buying into conspiracy theories can be exciting – that’s what makes them dangerous

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

Conspiracy theories have been around for centuries, from witch trials and antisemitic campaigns to beliefs that Freemasons were trying to topple European monarchies. In the mid-20th century, historian Richard Hofstadter described a “paranoid style” that he observed in right-wing U.S. politics and culture: a blend of “heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy.”

Comment les groupes parlementaires structurent la vie politique française

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

Remous provoqués par la scission de la Nouvelle union populaire écologique et sociale (Nupes) en quatre groupes politiques, interrogations autour de l’attribution aux groupes d’opposition de certains postes-clés à l’Assemblée nationale (vice-présidences, questures, présidence de la – très stratégique – commission des finances), réception des présidents des groupes par le président de la République au lendemain des élections, puis par la Première ministre à quelques jours de son discours de politique générale… La situation politique inédite résultant des élections législatives des 12 et 19 juin dernier met en lumière l’importance des groupes parlementaires, structures assez largement méconnues du grand public, ainsi que les enjeux liés à leur formation.

American gun culture is based on frontier mythology – but ignores how common gun restrictions were in the Old West

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

In the wake of the Buffalo and Uvalde mass shootings, 70% of Republicans said it is more important to protect gun rights than to control gun violence, while 92% of Democrats and 54% of independents expressed the opposite view. Just weeks after those mass shootings, Republicans and gun rights advocates hailed the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated New York state’s gun permit law and declared that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense.
