  • The Case for Real Capitalism by Jesse Norman, Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire Contents
    making the case for free enterprise The Case for Real Capitalism by Jesse Norman, Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire Contents Executive Summary 1. The Case for Capitalism 2. Crony Capitalism 3. The Case of Goldman Sachs 4. Lloyds HBOS and the UK banks 5. Pay 6. The UK’s Real Economic Decline 7. Institutions: AWOL or MIA? 8. The Politics of Crony Capitalism 9. Free Market Conservatism 10. Lessons About the author Jesse Norman is the MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, and a member of the Treasury Select Committee. He is a former Director of BZW, which he left in 1997; and of Institutional Shareholder Services, now the leading provider of corporate governance advice worldwide. Executive summary • Capitalism is the greatest tool of wealth creation, social advance and economic development ever known.* • We are living through a period of crony capitalism, of which the Goldman Sachs flotation and Lloyds-HBOS merger are just two examples. • Conservatives must make the moral case for real capitalism, and take action against crony capitalism — and the culture that created it. * Please note a longer version of this paper is in preparation. 1. The Case for Capitalism The US economy is stagnating. The Eurozone is in crisis. The UK may be dragged back into recession. This crisis is not a mere economic downturn, but a fundamental shift of value, caused by excessive financial speculation and abetted by foolish political decision-making over two decades. Capitalism itself is widely held to be at fault. In fact capitalism is the greatest tool of economic development, wealth creation and so- cial advance ever known.

  • Mps, Twitter and the EU Referendum Campaign 1
    MPs, Twitter and the EU referendum Campaign 1 MPs, Twitter and the EU referendum Campaign Liam McLoughlin & Stephen Ward (University of Salford) Rachel Gibson & Rosalynd Southern (University of Manchester) Paper Presented to the Elections, Parties and Opinion Polls Conference, University of Kent, 8-10th September 2016 Draft: Please do not quote – work in progress MPs, Twitter and the EU referendum Campaign 2 Introduction In the UK, as in many democracies there has been a rapid rise of MPs using Twitter over the past six years. From being a relative novelty in 2010, over one parliamentary cycle, the technology had been normalized by 2015 with 576 MPs having Twitter accounts (McLoughlin, 2016, June 20). Research in this area has tended to focus on the use of technology for representative and participatory purposes, political marketing, or more broadly on changes in style of representative democracy (Jackson & Lilleker, 2011; Kruikmeier, 2014; Margolis and Moreno-Riano, 2013). The focus of this paper, however, is more on the communicative networks being fostered by social media and the tone of that communication. In particular, we are interested in examining how far social media are challenging both inter and intra party relationships. Whilst there has been much popular comment on the disruptive nature of technologies, much of the existing empirical research suggests a more conservative approach in the political/parliamentary sphere (ref). Some studies suggest far from challenging political representatives’ behaviour or power structures and elites within parties – social media has hardened divides both between and within parties (refs). Moreover, far from democratizing politics and enhancing democratic discourse as enthusiasts hoped, social media has furthered coarsened the nature of public debate (refs).

  • A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
    A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 20 August 2019 This is a briefing for BIA members on the new Government led by Boris Johnson and key ministerial appointments for our sector. With 311 MPs, the Conservative Government does not have a parliamentary majority and the new Prime Minister may also have to contend with a number of his own backbenchers who are openly opposed to his premiership and approach to Brexit. It is currently being assumed that he is continuing the confidence and supply deal with the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). If the DUP will support the Government in key votes, such as on his Brexit deal (if one emerges), the Queen's Speech and Budgets, Boris Johnson will a working majority of 1. However, this may be diminished by Conservative rebels and possible defections.
