    NOTTINGHAMSHIRE POLICE AND CRIME PANEL 15 JUNE 2015 8 REVIEW OF MEMBERSHIP – BALANCED APPOINTMENT OBJECTIVE Purpose of the Report 1. To consider the Panel’s membership and any changes required to meet the balanced appointment objective as required by legislation. Information and Advice 2. The Police and Social Responsibility Act 2011 specifies that Police and Crime Panels must represent all parts of the police force area, be politically balanced and that members should have the skills, knowledge and experience necessary. 3. The Panel needs to review its membership at its Annual Meeting in June (or following elections which may have affected the Panel’s political balance). Elected members and proportional representation 4. The recent local elections have seen some changes in control and the overall numbers of seats held by the various political groups across the County (there has also been a reduction in seats due to boundary reviews completed for some of the District Councils). 5. Legislation stipulates that Police and Crime Panels must represent all parts of the relevant area, be politically balanced and have a membership that has the necessary skills, knowledge and experience. 6. Following the establishment of the Police and Crime Panel in 2012 the City Council agreed to offer one of its two additional co-opted places to a Conservative Member to help achieve overall political balance across the City and County. The Panel also agreed to offer the County Council Liberal Democrat Group a co-opted place on the Panel to ensure overall political balance. 7. Similarly, following the elections in May 2013, the Panel also agreed to offer the County Council’s Conservative Group a co-opted place to maintain overall political balance.

Our analysis reveals that this figure has scarcely changed over the last two decades. Even fewer women progress to lead their councils. Councils do not reflect the diversity of our society, and disabled and ethnic minority women experience multiple discrimination. New survey data reveals that within this male-dominated environment, sexism is worryingly commonplace in the council chamber and local parties.

This article approaches this puzzle through case study research that draws on fieldwork and a process of reciprocal knowledge exchange with local communities in five local authorities in England and Wales. It argues that the Leave vote can be attributed partly to political discontent associated with trajectories of relative economic decline and deindustrialization. Building on the growing literature about the role of narratives and discourses in navigating uncertainty, it contends that these localized economic experiences, interpreted through local-level narratives, paved the way for local-level discourses of resilience and nationwide optimistic messaging about the economic impacts of Brexit to resonate. Local and national-level discourses discounting the potential economic costs of leaving the European Union played a crucial role in giving precise, somewhat paradoxical, political content to the sense of discontent. The article contributes to the growing focus on place and community in understanding political behavior and invites further research on local discourses linking macro-level trajectories and micro-level voting decisions.
