    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • The History of the First Presbyterian Church Charlottesville, Virginia
    The History of the First Presbyterian Church Charlottesville, Virginia “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 Robert E. Simpson Introduction Like many organizations with a time-honored history, the church documents its past in the tangibility of faces, official papers, portraits, material objects, and buildings. Expressed algebraically, history is the evidence of people added to places divided by time, a formula consciously present here. History, says the philosopher, counts Time not by the Hours but by the Ages. Time therefore is a vehicle by which each of us has traveled, history is knowing where that vehicle has been. The story of the First Presbyterian Church finds its beginnings back into the 18th century. This history will introduce you to many past and present citizens of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, and is but a speck in the story of the Church. To many we have not known, yet we have a sense of companionship. And, then there are those who we have known, and loved, and shared in Christian fellowship. For this history, I have relied heavily on primary sources: minutes of the various church courts; minutes of organizations of the church; letters; personal and written interview. In selecting items to be included, I have tried to make them representative of the life of the whole church. I realize that voices from the grave are mute, however, and items from the past which should have been included are known only to that great “cloud of witnesses” and to the Sovereign God.

  • The Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform; That Refer to a “Climate Emergency”
    Please provide all emails sent and received by: the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform; that refer to a “Climate Emergency”. This should cover the period from 1 February 2019 to 11 May 2019. From: (REDACTED) Date: 8 May 2019 at 10:48:11 BST To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Climate Emergency (REDACTED). Dear Cabinet Secretary, I watched with pride and admiration, The First Minister put Scotland again in a leadership position in the fight on Climate Change by declaring a “climate emergency” at the SNP Conference last month. So immediate and real are the threats of climate change that we really are in a state of emergency. Often when we think of the Environment and its damage we imagine somewhere or someone on the other side of the world. The damage is real and it is happening here in Scotland and its victims are the poor and the young. Encouraged by the recent Climate Change demonstrations in London and Edinburgh as well as the First Ministers speech, I have done my own research in to the Environmental Standards in my own locality, and I am disheartened by what I found. In terms of Air Quality alone, which is so vitally Important to health, what I discovered is a worrying trend of worsening air quality at the same time as the Afternoon school run (15:00 – 16:00). This isn’t just unique to my own town, but a pattern that is repeated across many locations around Scotland.

  • European Parliamentary Elections Bill [Bill 65 of 1997/98]
    The European Parliamentary Elections Bill [Bill 65 of 1997/98] Research Paper 97/120 19 November 1997 This Research Paper examines the background to the European Parliamentary Elections Bill (Bill 65 of 1997/98) and explains its provisions. The Bill provides for voters to choose between parties, rather than individual candidates, and further legislation to deal with the registration of parties is expected in this session, and this Paper does not cover that aspect. The introduction of a regional list form of election for the next European Parliament elections for 1999 will be the first time that proportional representation (PR) has been used throughout Great Britain (Northern Ireland uses the single transferable vote (STV) for European Parliamentary and local elections). Research Paper 97/26 Voting Systems - the Alternatives provides background to the various forms of PR used in other countries, and proposed for the United Kingdom. Oonagh Gay Home Affairs Section House of Commons Library Library Research Papers are compiled for the benefit of Members of Parliament and their personal staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. Summary A commitment to introduce a uniform electoral system for elections to a new European assembly was part of the original Treaty of Rome but when the first direct elections were held in 1979 Great Britain used the First Past The Post system, with STV for Northern Ireland. The Commons had rejected on 13 December 1977, on a free vote, the option of a regional list system for Great Britain.
