There are 100 Senators in Congress. Of those, 72 have held their seat for longer than 6 years. 62 Senators are over the age of 60, with 5 in their 80s. The “Majority Leader” and “Assistant Majority Leader” are the two persons who decide what laws are presented in the Senate for a vote. They are elected by the Senate itself, and typically the party who has the most Senate seats selects the Senators in their party with the longest tenure. Currently, the “Majority Leader” is Republican Mitch McConnell who has been a Senator for the last 31 years. The “Asst.

Section I: General core values

Although there are some major differences between the various Member States it is, nevertheless, possible to identify a number of basic or core values that should be applicable to all EU governments.The following list of six (partly overlapping) core values is intended to serve as an impetus for a more detailed formulation of these values:

Media bias is an important part of our lives, and recognizing it helps people deal with it and prevent it from influencing their decisions to too great of a degree. It is important to examine cases where bias occurs so people can develop an understanding of how it can manifest itself. One especially pertinent case to the discussion of media bias is elections. During elections people must vote based on their knowledge of candidates, and much of this knowledge comes from the mass media. The knowledge that voters' gain of candidates can be skewed by media bias; but, this bias can manifest itse

The Irish Lobby Register differs in many key ways to the EU Transparency Register. Several of these differences emanate from the mandatory nature of the Irish register. For example, its basis in legislation makes it illegal for lobbyists who fall under its remit not to register, and makes it possible to sanction those who fail to do so.

Meanwhile, Europe spends close to twice the U.S. rate, and China spends close to four times the U.S. rate.  The World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report now ranks the U.S. overall infrastructure at 12th in the world – down from 7th place just a decade ago.
