  • The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament
    The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament Standard Note: SN/IA/6918 Last updated: 16 June 2014 Author: Vaughne Miller Section International Affairs and Defence Section Parties are continuing negotiations to form political groups in the European Parliament (EP) following European elections on 22-25 May 2014. This note looks at the future composition of the European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR), which was established by UK Conservatives when David Cameron took them out of the centre-right EPP-ED group in 2009. It also considers what the entry of the German right-wing Alternative für Deutschland group into the ECR group might mean for Anglo-German relations. The ECR might become the third largest political group in the EP, although this depends on support for the Liberals and Democrats group. The final number and composition of EP political groups will not be known until after 24 June 2014, which is the deadline for registering groups. For detailed information on the EP election results, see Research paper 14/32, European Parliament Elections 2014, 11 June 2014.

  • Exclusive Interview with Dr
    State: A Last Resort for People Exclusive interview with Dr. Syed Kamall Conducted by Bardia Garshasbi in London– July 2014 Syed Kamall is a phenomenon in his own right. He comes from an ordinary Guyanese family who migrated to London in mid-1950s. His father was a bus driver, and now at the age of 47, he is the leader of the Britain’s Conservative Party in the European Parliament, representing the people of London in that parliament since 2005, when he was only 38! Having degrees from some of the world’s most prestigious universities (London School of Economics and City University London) Dr. Kamall also chairs the European Conservatives and Reformist Group, the EU Parliament’s third largest group with 70 MEPs who are campaigning for urgent reform of the EU and of whom Syed is, as he proudly puts it, “the first group leader from an ethnic minority and the first Muslim ever”. Dr. Kamall is one of the few successful and highly educated politicians in Europe who does not come from an elite background or rich family. His path to success has been uphill and demanding. He has firsthand knowledge of the challenges low-income families are facing in their daily lives. That is why the relief of poverty has always been a top priority for him. He works tirelessly to find ways to tackle poverty by educating the young and by creating incentives and equal opportunities for hard- working people. His constituents in London and his peers in both Britain and Europe know him for his intelligence, decency, and eloquence.

  • Dr Syed Kamall MEP Hosts Virtual Currencies and Blockchain
    Dr Syed Kamall MEP hosts virtual currencies and blockchain exhibition in European Parliament organised by The Cobden Centre Submitted by: Jessica King PR Tuesday, 19 April 2016 As a group leader within the European Parliament Dr Syed Kamall MEP, the Chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, has the opportunity to host an exhibition within the Parliament during his 5 year term. He has chosen to have the exhibition on virtual currencies and blockchain technology, an event which is being organised by The Cobden Centre in association with EDCAB. Attendees will include the World Bank, IMF, OECD, Bank for International Settlements, Europol and the United Nations (UNICRI). It will be the first time these institutions have come together for a blockchain event. They will be joined by academics, startups, established companies and thinkers. "I am delighted to be hosting this exhibition on blockchain and virtual currencies in the European Parliament. The technology offers some very exciting opportunities but as legislators internationally, we must also make sure that consumers have trust in it,” commented Dr Syed Kamall MEP. “This is a unique opportunity to have some of the world’s top economic institutions here to discuss the issues we need to consider in the European Parliament." Virtual currencies are now being looked at by central banks, treasuries and financial institutions. The technology behind them, known as blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology, is of particular interest. This allows assets to be transferred peer to peer in much the same way that bitcoins can be transferred peer to peer. In theory it could mean that large sections of the economy could trade without centralised intermediaries like banks.

  • Institute of Economic Affairs July 6 2019 · Royal Geographical Society · 1 Kensington Gore London
    2019 from the Institute of Economic Affairs July 6 2019 · Royal Geographical Society · 1 Kensington Gore London WELCOME Welcome to THINK, the fifth iteration of theIEA ’s flagship student conference. Over the next few hours we hope that we will be able to equip you with the tools needed to seriously and robustly consider the economic and political challenges that face both Britain and the wider world. The goal of the conference is to help each of you ‘think the unthinkable’ and consider radical solutions to issues ranging from the role (and regulation) of modern technology, to issues risking the basic underpinnings of our capitalist system. We are living through a period of profound change in Britain. We are still, after three years of delay, waiting to discover what the next phase of our relationship with our continental neighbours will look like. Meanwhile, the recent European Parliamentary elections perhaps indicate the rumblings of the biggest political realignment in a century. These two issues are combined with technology changing our economy in a way not seen since the Industrial Revolution. These are serious issues, and I hope that today’s conference will leave you both intellectually stimulated and better informed on them all. But more than anything we hope that you come out of this conference with a deeper understanding of free market economics. Free trade and classically liberal policies have been at the foundation of the incredible improvement in living standards over the past two centuries, and our continued prosperity depends on young people like you making the case for free market economics in the future.
