    • Politics

Voters in Luxembourg have consistently chosen the most stable and unchanging option when they head to the polls, and it looks like they will again. But Alex and Kaleigh ask what previous efforts to expand enfranchisement to include more of the workforce living in the country could've meant for elections and why voters tend to play it pretty safe in referendums. In Australia, the upcoming Indigenous Voice referendum on the representation of Indigenous Australians in the constitution raises essential questions about asking voter questions for or against a particular group of people and meeting the high threshold of constitutional change. Also, an expanded G20 and the bees are underground!
