It is vital that political parties and parliamentary candidates address the range of increasingly global issues that impact our day-to-day lives.
Wars, often arising from economic, territorial, religious, or political causes are leaving many countries war-torn, requiring decades for infrastructure and economic rebuilding.
The devastating war situation in Gaza and Israel and Russia-Ukraine conflict beginning in 2022, exemplify the complexities of modern warfare, including unexpected resistance, strategic and logistic challenges, and significant civilian impact.
Today`s diversity of conflicts, from Myanmar’s long-standing civil war to the ongoing civil wars in Yemen and Sudan each with unique causes and consequences.
The international community’s response to conflicts involves humanitarian aid, economic sanctions, and political actions, reflecting the complex nature of modern geopolitics. Surely these are the defining issues of our time.
In the midst of these crisis, people are looking to their leaders to get out of the current global “mess” the message from the UN is that the world leaders needs to take action now to address the worsening climate emergency, escalating conflicts, dramatic technological disruptions and a global cost-of-living crisis that is increasing hunger and poverty.
Here is an opportunity for you to put your question to our parliamentary candidates on these very important issues.
