TEXIT and the Will of the People with Dr. Matt Qvortrup


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Texas News Podcast, where we discuss all things Texas politics and the future of Texas independence. Today we are joined by Dr. Matt Qvortrup, a leading scholar of independence referendums around the world. Together, we get into the nuts and bolts of TEXIT and answer questions like exactly how important the TEXIT Petition is and why getting any kind of public vote on TEXIT is key in advancing toward independence. By giving us historical backgrounds on previous independence referendums of countries like Estonia and Malta, Dr. Qvortrup also reveals how independence referendums that aren't "legally binding" are still "politically binding."

We end this episode with some good old-fashioned Texas news and, as of now, there is no bigger story than the acquittal of Attorney General Ken Paxton. It’s no surprise Paxton was acquitted. Why? Instead of the Texas House representatives doing their jobs, we had officials hellbent on making a political statement with their entire slogan being “ready, fire, aim.” The political repercussions of this historic trial will reverberate for years to come. Finally, we explain how State Representative John Lujan made one HUGE mistake. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
