With counting following Friday’s election still in the relatively early stages – after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck – there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise. Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader, Simon Harris, has dismissed talk of a Sinn Fein surge and said he was “cautiously optimistic” about where his party will stand after all the votes are counted. Meanwhile, Ireland’s deputy premier and Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, insisted his party has a “very clear route back to government” as he predicted seat gains. The counting process could last days because of Ireland’s complex system of proportional representation with a single transferable vote (PR-STV), where candidates are ranked by preference. The leaders of the main three parties were all re-elected as TDs on Saturday evening, topping the polls in their respective constituencies. The early indications have turned the focus to the tricky arithmetic of government formation, as the country’s several smaller parties and many independents potentially jockey for a place in government. Ms McDonald told reporters at the RDS count centre in Dublin that she would be “very, very actively pursuing” the potential to form a government with other parties on the left of the political spectrum. The smaller, left-leaning parties in Ireland include the Social Democrats, the Irish Labour Party, the Green Party and People Before Profit-Solidarity. Ms McDonald said her party had delivered an “incredible performance” in the election. “I think it’s fair to say that we have now confirmed that we have broken the political mould here in this state,” she said. “Two party politics is now gone. It’s consigned to the dustbin of history and that, in itself, is very significant.” She added: “I am looking to bring about a government of change, and I’m going to go and look at all formulations. “If you want my bottom line, the idea of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for another five years, in our strong opinion, is not a good outcome for Irish society. “Obviously, I want to talk to other parties of the left and those that we share very significant policy objectives with. So I’m going to do that first and just hear their mind, hear their thinking. But be very clear, we will be very, very actively pursuing entrance into government.” In Friday night’s exit poll, Sinn Fein was predicted to take 21.1% of first-preference votes, narrowly ahead of outgoing coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fail at 21% and 19.5% respectively. Prior to the election, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael both ruled out entering government with Sinn Fein. Fine Gael leader Mr Harris rejected suggestions Sinn Fein had broken new ground. He told reporters in his count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow: “Certainly we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it. “I mean, it looks likely, on the figures that we’ve seen now, fewer people, many fewer people would have voted Sinn Fein in this election than the last one. “In fact, I think they’re down by around 5% and actually the parties, particularly the two parties, the two larger parties in government, are likely to receive significant support from the electorate. So definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented.” He said it was too early to tell what the next government would look like. “I think anybody who makes any suggestion about who is going to be the largest party or the construct of the next government, they’re a braver person than I am,” he said. “Our electoral system dictates that there’ll be many, many transfers that will go on for hours, if not days, before we know the final computations at all. “But what I am very confident about is that my party will have a very significant role to play in the years ahead, and I’m cautiously optimistic and excited.” Fianna Fail’s Mr Martin told reporters at a count centre in Cork he was confident that the numbers exist to form a government with parties that shared his political viewpoint. Mr Martin said it “remains to be seen” whether he would return to the role of Taoiseach – a position he held between 2020 and 2022 – but he expressed confidence his party would outperform the exit poll prediction. “It’s a bit too early yet to call the exact type of government that will be formed or the composition of the next government,” he said. “But I think there are, there will be a sufficiency of seats, it seems to me, that aligns with the core principles that I articulated at the outset of this campaign and throughout the campaign, around the pro-enterprise economy, around a positively pro-European position, a government that will strongly push for home ownership and around parties that are transparently democratic in how they conduct their affairs.” Asked if it would be in a coalition with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Social Democrats, he said that would be “racing a bit too far ahead”. The final result may dictate that if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are to return to government, they may need more than one junior partner, or potentially the buy-in of several independent TDs. Mr Martin said it was unclear how quickly a government can be formed, as he predicted his party would gain new seats. “It will be challenging. This is not easy,” he added. The junior partner in the outgoing government – the Green Party – looks set for a bruising set of results. Green leader Roderic O’Gorman is in a fight to hold onto his seat, as are a number of party colleagues, including Media Minister Catherine Martin. “It’s clear the Green Party has not had a good day,” he said. The early counting also suggested potential trouble for Fianna Fail in Wicklow, where the party’s only candidate in the constituency, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, is considered to have a battle ahead, with the risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, there is significant focus on independent candidate Gerard Hutch who, on Saturday evening, was sitting in fourth place in the four-seat constituency of Dublin Central. Last spring, Mr Hutch was found not guilty by the non-jury Special Criminal Court of the murder of David Byrne, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. Mr Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. A Special Criminal Court judge described Mr Hutch, 61, as the patriarchal figurehead of the Hutch criminal organisation and said he had engaged in “serious criminal conduct”. The constituency will be closely watched as other hopefuls wait to see if transfers from eliminated candidates may eventually rule him out of contention. In the constituency of Louth, the much-criticised selection of John McGahon appeared not to have paid off for Fine Gael. The party’s campaign was beset by questioning over footage entering the public domain of the candidate engaged in a fight outside a pub in 2018. The Social Democrats have a strong chance of emerging as the largest of the smaller parties. The party’s leader, Holly Cairns, was already celebrating before a single vote was counted however, having announced the birth of her baby girl on polling day.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Constitution. The Constitution – which was framed over a period of three years, and during the tumult of the Partition as well as the incorporation of the princely states into India – was a remarkable achievement for its time; the fact that it has endured for 75 years (the average lifespan of Constitutions is less than two decades) is equally remarkable. In many ways – such as the grant of universal adult suffrage in one stroke, or in its abolition of untouchability and forced labour – the Constitution was a leap of faith, which expanded the horizons of social and political imagination in the newly-born nation-State. The occasion of 75 years is also a chance, however, to reflect critically on the Constitution’s structure and design, and to ask whether some of those design choices might call for greater scrutiny. The framers of our Constitution were faced with numerous problems, on a vast scale: Problems of poverty and illiteracy, of communal violence, and of deep social inequalities. They, therefore, believed that a strong executive was necessary to tackle these problems at the speed – and at the scale – that they demanded. Thus, while the Constitution, in formal terms, guaranteed a parliamentary and federal structure of government, in the fundamental principles of design, it skewed heavily towards the executive. Consider, first, the question of Parliament. In parliamentary systems in general, the executive and the legislature are partially fused, and when elections throw up clear results, the former tends to dominate the latter even though, formally, the executive is “responsible” to Parliament. To mitigate this drift towards the executive, parliamentary systems provide a number of mechanisms: for example, an independent Speaker of the House, whose role it is to defend and represent the interests of Parliament to the executive; some (limited) space to the Opposition to set the agenda on certain days; spaces where the Opposition can critique the executive’s record, both on the floor of the House (such as through Prime Minister’s questions), and elsewhere (through parliamentary committees). Bicameral systems have the additional check of an Upper House on executive dominance. However, even as the Constitution codified many aspects of governance, it maintained a conspicuous silence on entrenching some of the features that might have guaranteed parliamentary independence from the executive. Furthermore, given that in colonial times, the British executive was structurally designed to dominate the provincial and central legislatures, there was no long-standing set of conventions guaranteeing the independence of Parliament (as in Britain). A combination of these factors meant that the Indian Parliament was born a structurally weak institution, depending on the goodwill of the executive for its functioning. The results of these design choices are with us today. Similarly, on the question of federalism, the Constitution seems to treat states more as administrative units rather than as repositories for linguistic or cultural self-determination. This is evident from how it grants to Parliament to rearrange the federal map at will, how it skews legislative, administrative, and fiscal powers towards the Centre, and how it entrenches the role of colonial-era governors in the post-colonial set-up. This might have been intelligible at the time of independence, when the state boundaries of newly independent India reflected British units of administrative governance. From very early on, however, that position changed: indeed, the first reorganisation of the states was on linguistic basis, after strong social movements. In 2024, it should be clear that the states are a lot more than just administrative units: they reflect genuine aspirations for internal self-determination within the territorial borders of India. The constitutional design, however, continues to reflect the old model, as is evident from enduring controversies over the role of the governor, conflict over the distribution of revenue (especially GST revenue), and the legislative and administrative dominance that the Union continues to exercise. We must therefore ask whether this structural skew is compatible with a truly federal system that we aspire towards. Furthermore, while the Constitution also reflects the pluralism within the country through “asymmetric federal” arrangements for certain states, these arrangements have come grudgingly, and often as political compromises in order to prevent more militant solutions (as in the case of Manipur and Nagaland). The dominant constitutional vision appears to still be in favour of homogeneity and uniformity, as was reflected in the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the effective abrogation of the most prominent example of asymmetric federalism in India – that of Article 370. Classic constitutional theory divides the powers of the State between three branches – the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. However, it has long been understood that the complexities of the modern State require the existence of a fourth branch of independent institutions that perform certain vital functions that require them to be independent of the executive. Examples include the Election Commission, human rights commissions, information commissions, and so on; these bodies are often tasked with holding the executive accountable, or implementing the infrastructure of important rights (such as the right to vote). Many modern Constitutions, therefore, specifically provide for the independence of these fourth branch institutions. The Indian Constitution, however, in its executive-trusting vision, either does not entrench fourth branch institutions at all, or – as in the case of the Election Commission – fails to adequately guarantee their separation from the executive, especially in the matter of appointments. Thus, long-standing concerns about the neutrality of the Election Commission, and executive interference in other bodies such as the Central Information Commission, can be traced back to the constitutional design itself. And finally, although the Constitution is enacted in the name of the people, it excludes the people, as collective actors, from engaging with public affairs through constitutional channels, and acting as external checks upon the executive; there are no guarantees of public participation in law-making, leading to a top-down process that actively discourages consultation with communities and groups specially affected by the actions of the State. Thus, as we look back on the last 75 years, there is much to celebrate about the Indian Constitution. We must also, however, refrain from hagiography, and recognise that the Constitution – for various reasons – is a centralising and executive-oriented document. While there may have been reasons for that in 1949, a public debate is needed about whether those reasons still hold – and what might an alternative constitutional vision look like.

Below are some highlights: Britt Baker on why she’s done being polite: “I’m exhausted. I’m not going to be polite anymore. Leave me alone. Politeness is 2024. Everyone needs to be real and authentic and the world will be a better place.” Baker on her personal life in the last year: “Roller coaster is a good word, bBut I also don’t think it’s appropriate, because with a roller coaster there’s a start and an end point. I can’t really say where the roller coaster started and I definitely don’t know where it’s going to end.” Her thoughts on the online critics: “You can’t ever believe what you read about yourself, whether it’s really good or really bad, or you’re going to end up medicated and sedated potentially. It’s tough because we live in a world where social media is so prominent. Social media fuels what we do, essentially. We rely on it. But man, is it toxic. It’s brutal. There’s a whole population of people on social media who just want to make you feel bad about yourself. It’s crazy we live in a world where that’s their mission. ‘I’m going to wake up today, tweet 10 mean tweets to Britt. I’m gonna take a lunch break. And then maybe I’ll do 10 more.’ It’s bizarre.” Britt Baker beat Penelope Ford earlier this month on AEW Dynamite on November 13.

First Trust Materials AlphaDEX Fund (NYSEARCA:FXZ) Trading Down 0.7% – Time to Sell?No. 22 Army faces unexpected foe La. Tech in Independence Bowl(The Center Square) – Eleven states, led by Texas, have sued the three largest institutional investors in the world for allegedly conspiring to buy coal company stocks to control the market, reduce competition and violate federal and state antitrust laws. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Tyler Division and demands a trial by jury. It names as defendants BlackRock, Inc., State Street Corporation, and Vanguard Group, Inc., which combined manage more than $26 trillion in assets. The companies were sued for “acquiring substantial stockholdings in every significant publicly held coal producer in the United States” in order to gain “power to control the policies of the coal companies,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said. According to the 109-page brief , defendants own 30.43% of Peabody Energy, 34.19% of Arch Resources, 10.85% of NACCO Industries, 28.97% of CONSOL Energy, 29.7% of Alpha Metallurgical Resources, 24.94% of Vistra Energy, 8.3% of Hallador Energy, 31.62% of Warrior Met Coal and 32.87% of Black Hills Corporation. Under the Biden administration, in the past four years, “America’s coal producers have been responding not to the price signals of the free market, but to the commands of Larry Fink, BlackRock’s chairman and CEO, and his fellow asset managers,” the brief states. “As demand for the electricity Americans need to heat their homes and power their businesses has gone up, the supply of the coal used to generate that electricity has been artificially depressed – and the price has skyrocketed. Defendants have reaped the rewards of higher returns, higher fees, and higher profits, while American consumers have paid the price in higher utility bills and higher costs.” Consumer costs went up because the companies “weaponized” their shares to push through a so-called green energy agenda, including reducing coal output by more than half by 2030, the lawsuit alleges. In response, publicly traded coal producers reduced output and energy prices skyrocketed. The companies advanced their policies primarily through two programs, the Climate Action 100 and Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative, signaling “their mutual intent to reduce the output of thermal coal, which predictably increased the cost of electricity for Americans” nationwide, Paxton said. The firms also allegedly deceived thousands of investors “who elected to invest in non-ESG funds to maximize their profits,” Paxton said. “Yet these funds pursued ESG strategies notwithstanding the defendants’ representations to the contrary.” While they allegedly directly restrained competition among the companies whose shares they acquired, “their war on competition has consequences for the entire industry,” the brief states. “Texas will not tolerate the illegal weaponization of the financial industry in service of a destructive, politicized ‘environmental’ agenda. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street formed a cartel to rig the coal market, artificially reduce the energy supply, and raise prices,” Paxton said. “Their conspiracy has harmed American energy production and hurt consumers. This is a stunning violation of state and federal law.” The lawsuit alleges the companies’ actions violated the Clayton Act, which prohibits any acquisition of stock where “the effect of such acquisition may be substantially to lessen competition;” and the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, 15 U.S.C. § 1 in a conspiracy to restrain trade. It also alleges the companies violated state antitrust laws of Texas, Montana and West Virginia; Blackrock also allegedly violated the Texas Business and Commerce Code by committing “false, deceptive, or misleading acts.” It asks the court to rule that the companies violated the federal and state statutes, provide injunctive and equitable relief and prohibit them from engaging in such acts. It requests that civil fines be paid, including requiring Blackrock to pay $10,000 per violation. Joining Paxton in the lawsuit are the attorneys general of Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, West Virginia and Wyoming. The Buzbee Law Firm and Cooper & Kirk are serving as outside counsel. The companies have yet to issue a statement on the lawsuit. The lawsuit follows one filed by 25 states led by Texas against the Biden administration asking the court to halt a federal ESG policy that could negatively impact the retirement savings of 152 million Americans. It also comes after Texas has listed hundreds of companies and publicly traded investment funds, including Blackrock, on its divestment list for advancing ESG and anti-oil and natural gas policies.
