Of these by-elections, only two, Romsey and South Antrim, resulted in a change in winning party compared with the 1997 General Election. Ten of the by- elections were caused by the death of the sitting Member of Parliament and five were due to resignations. The 1997-2001 Parliament was the first Parliament since 1951-55 where the party in Government has not lost a seat at a by- election. The Conservative win in Uxbridge was their first at a by-election since February 1989.

This introduction gives some of the key facts about the results. The tables on pages 4 to 8 summarise the results and pages 9 to 14 give results for each constituency. The 1997 Parliament was the first where the party in Government has not lost a by- election since 1951-55. The Conservative win in Uxbridge was their first in a by- election since February 1989. The only seats to change hands were Romsey (Conservative to Liberal Democrat), South Antrim (Ulster Unionist to Democratic Unionist) and West Bromwich West which had had been held by the Speaker but was won by Labour on her retirement. There were two Members elected as Conservatives who were sitting as Labour by the end of the Parliament. Also, two Labour and one Conservative had moved to being independents.

One was due to a Member being awarded a peerage. The “by- election” in Winchester was technically a re-run of the 1997 General Election following a successful legal challenge to the original result. Share of the vote Across all 17 by-elections, Labour’s share of the votes cast was around 30%. Excluding the West Bromwich West result, Labour’s share was 13.5 percentage points lower than in the same constituencies at the 1997 General Election. The Conservative share increased by around one percentage point. The Liberal Democrat share was 7.7 percentage points higher in the by-elections while, in Scotland, the SNP increased their share by 11.2 percentage points. Turnout Average turnout across all 17 by-elections was 40.2%. This was 26.7 percentage points lower than the average for the same constituencies at the 1997 General Election. The lowest turnout was 19.6% in Leeds Central. This was the lowest turnout at a by-election in the UK since 1945. Women candidates Two of the winning candidates were women, Jacqui Lait and Sandra Gidley, as were two of those leaving Parliament, Audrey Wise and Betty Boothroyd. The total of 3 By-election results: 1997-2001 House of Commons Information Office Factsheet M16 women MPs at the end of the Parliament was 120, the same as at the beginning, although the total did reach a record 122 after the Romsey by-election. In total, 22 of the 140 candidates at these by-elections were women. Outstanding vacancies There were no seats vacant at dissolution. Notes Turnout is calculated as the number of valid votes cast (i.e. excluding spoilt ballot papers) as a percentage of the electorate. Most returning officers were able to provide exact eligible electorates for polling day. These have been used where available. For a few constituencies, returning officers were only able to provide figures for total electorates as first published. In these cases an estimate of the eligible electorate on polling day has been used. This was estimated by applying the proportion of the year that the register had been in force to the number of attainers. General Election results are taken from Britain Votes 61 while the by-election results were provided directly by returning officers. Key to tables * indicates a lost deposit (less than 5 per cent of the total votes cast) + indicates a woman candidate The Winchester “by-election” was technically a re-run of the 1997 General Election in that constituency. The original result, a Liberal Democrat gain from Conservative with a majority of two votes, was challeneged and a writ for a re-run issued. Technically, this election was not a by-election and is listed as a Liberal Democrat “win” rather than “hold” or “gain”. West Bromwich West was not contested by the major parties in 1997 when it was won by The Speaker. As Labour would have been the likely winners of the seat in 1997, it is also not classed as a seat changing hands.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    Leverhulme-funded monitoring programme Northern Ireland report 5 November 2000 Contents Summary Robin Wilson 3 Storm clouds gather Robin Wilson 4 Devolved government Robin Wilson Liz Fawcett 10 The assembly Rick Wilford 17 The media Greg McLaughlin 28 Public attitudes and identity (Nil return) Intergovernmental relations John Coakley Graham Walker 32 Relations with the EU Elizabeth Meehan 43 Relations with local government (Nil return) Finance Robin Wilson 47 Devolution disputes (Nil return) Political parties and elections Duncan Morrow Rick Wilford 49 Public policies Duncan Morrow 55 2 Summary It was the best, but also the worst, of times in Northern Ireland during this quarter. The four-party executive finally agreed in October what it would substantively do after 30 months of high- (or, perhaps, low-) political manoeuvring between the ethno- nationalist protagonists. Here, at last, was a draft Programme for Government. One, indeed, with a confidence-building message of ‘making a difference’; one, too, with some ‘joined-up’ sophistication and the capacity thus to cement the partisan ministerial fiefdoms. Here, also, was a draft budget, for the first time reflecting regional priorities. Meanwhile, there was patient work in the assembly—if criticism of its lack of transparency—and the Civic Forum met. But a poll showed confidence in the agreement falling—sharply amongst Catholics, to rock-bottom amongst Protestants. And the institutions of the agreement—their interdependence meaning shocks destabilise the whole baroque architecture—came under increasing strain. The failure of the policing commission to generate a consensual report led to a Police Bill both unionists and nationalists opposed. Ethnic hurt mobilised (or, perhaps, exploited) in the Protestant community over the loss of the Royal Ulster Constabulary name (symbolising its 302 victims) struck a body-blow to David Trimble as Ulster Unionist Party leader and first minister, as the Democratic Unionists—undermining the executive by their absence—won a hitherto safe UUP seat.

As in 2013 we received a superb welcome from the city. We continue to ask all attendees to complete an online feedback questionnaire. A good percentage complete this but I would urge all members to take the time to participate. It is incredibly useful to the conference office and FCC and does influence whether we visit a venue again and if we do, what changes we need to try and make. FCC Changes Following the committee elections at the end of last year there were a number of changes to the membership of FCC. Qassim Afzal, Louise Bloom, Sal Brinton, Prateek Buch, Veronica German, Evan Harris and David Rendel either did not restand or were not re-elected. All played a valuable role on FCC and will be missed. We welcome Jon Ball, Zoe O’Connell and Mary Reid onto the committee as directly elected members. FPC have elected two new representatives onto FCC and we welcome back Linda Jack and Jeremy Hargreaves in these roles. Both have previously served on FCC so are familiar with the way we work. One of the FE reps is also new with Kaavya Kaushik joining James Gurling as an FE rep on FCC.
