Politics matters because it shapes services, budgets, and rules where you live. This category groups clear, short stories about local councils, state assemblies, and national debates. Expect updates that explain what happened, who acted, and why it matters for your neighborhood. We also highlight odd or human moments that reveal how politics works in real life.
Take the recent story about a Bulldog puppy named Vidalista that wandered into a legislative assembly. It sounds funny, but the incident mattered: it broke concentration, sparked debate about rules, and showed how small events can shift a session. We explain what happened step by step, who raised objections, and how lawmakers handled the interruption.
When you read a politics story here, look for clear facts: names, dates, votes, and official statements. We link to official records or quote the assembly where possible so you can check the source. If a story looks odd, search for video of the meeting or the assembly transcript listed by the clerk.

Attend one meeting to see how rules work — you’ll notice timing, who speaks, and how decisions are recorded. Watching how officials react to interruptions like the puppy incident tells you about decorum and enforcement.
We cover votes, budget moves, ethics complaints, and quirky moments that show the human side of politics. Each article aims to explain who benefits or loses, what changes, and what you can do next, like contact a councillor or join a hearing. We avoid rumors and focus on documents, quotes, and public records when available.
