  • (EUROPP) Blog: the Epic Political Elegance of Emmanuel Macron Page 1 of 2
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: The epic political elegance of Emmanuel Macron Page 1 of 2 The epic political elegance of Emmanuel Macron French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent visit to the UK was closely followed by the British press, with his comments on Brexit and Donald Trump generating a large number of headlines. George Kassimeris writes that Macron’s visit underlined his credentials as a transformative political leader. And with Angela Merkel’s authority damaged by the results of last year’s German federal election, Macron is in the right place at the right time to take over the reins of European leadership. For once the journalistic superlatives were warranted. ‘Emmanuel Macron’s Andrew Marr Interview Has People Swooning’ ran the HuffPost’s Sunday headline. Macron, tweeted the New Statesman’s editor, Jason Cowley, ‘has so quickly become Europe’s most interesting politician’. ‘Without going all fanboy, Macron is a class act. If only British politics could throw up someone similar’ lamented the FT’s political writer, Sebastian Payne. Even the Sun’s usually cynical political editor succumbed in saying: ‘Think what you like about Macron, but by God he answers a straight question. Our obfuscating politicians need to learn how to do that and fast’. Macron’s mesmerizingly elegant performance on the BBC’s flagship Sunday political show, where he openly and ultra-confidently discussed (in fluent English) a wide-range of issues from Europe and Brexit to his relationship with Donald Trump, was the final act of his visit to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, a military establishment outside London, for last week’s UK-French summit meeting with Theresa May.

  • Reforming the Prerogative in the UK, by Robert Hazell DRAFT: Not for Wider Circulation, Without Consulting [email protected]
    Reforming the Prerogative in the UK, by Robert Hazell DRAFT: Not for wider circulation, without consulting [email protected] Reforming the Prerogative in the UK Paper for Ottawa Workshop October 2019 by Prof Robert Hazell, Constitution Unit, UCL v2 January 2020 Note: Other prerogative powers not considered in this paper: Diplomacy, ceding territory; Passports; Honours; Pardons; Public Inquiries; National Emergencies. Introduction 1 This is a factual account of how the prerogative powers in the UK have gradually been made subject to tighter regulation over the last 20 years. It is confined to tighter political regulation: Sebastian Payne will talk about control of the prerogative by the law and the courts. And it is confined to the main prerogative powers: lesser powers, to issue passports, grant Honours, and pardons are for the moment omitted. PART I: Tighter regulation of the prerogative powers exercised by ministers 2 The first part of this paper considers the main prerogative powers exercised on behalf of the Crown by ministers. They still enjoy considerable discretion, but in recent years most of the important prerogative powers have come under tighter parliamentary control. The initiative for this came originally from the House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee (PASC), chaired by Tony Wright MP, with the baton then being taken up by Gordon Brown. In his first week as Prime Minister in 2007 he published a bold constitutional reform agenda in The Governance of Britain, in which he stated that ‘The Government believes that in general the prerogative powers should be put onto a statutory basis and brought under stronger parliamentary scrutiny and control’.1 The white paper went on to enumerate what it called the ‘prerogative executive powers’ which were going to be more tightly circumscribed: organisation of the civil service; ratification of treaties; going to war; and making public appointments.

  • The Impact of Brexit: a Neofunctionalist Perspective
    The impact of Brexit: A neofunctionalist perspective EMMA TINDAL-CLARKE Abstract This paper examines the impact of the recent Brexit crisis in Europe and the extent to which the neofunctionalist perspective can be used to understand the continued integration of the European Union (EU). It identifies key issues surrounding the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU, analysing the extent to which this crisis has affected the EU overall. By examining the historical progression of public opinion and national referendum discussions, this paper explores how the possibility of Brexit has united the member states of the EU, instead of dividing them as predicted. It addresses how the future of the EU can be explained through the concept of neofunctional integration as a crisis spillover effect, and explores the relevance of Ernst B Haas’s work on continued European integration 50 years after its publication in 1968. This paper also discusses criticisms of Haas’s work, but maintains that Haas’s theoretical perspective remains relevant to our understanding of modern regional integration, despite longstanding criticisms. Finally, I conclude by considering the future impacts of Brexit for the EU, and the ways in which this institution can utilise future external struggles to strengthen its unity from within. Introduction Brexit (the exit of Britain from the European Union (EU)) began in the 2016 United Kingdom (UK) referendum, and the crisis has continued past the deadline for an exit deal to be negotiated.1 Brexit, when examined through the theoretical lens of neofunctionalism, can be explained as an event which, through crisis, has united Europe and—at least temporarily—secured its future.2 When framed through this theoretical perspective, Brexit can be viewed in both a negative and positive light, as an event which poses a current crisis to the state of the Union but can also be considered a means of its continued success.

  • The British Constitution After Brexit the Case for Popular Codification
    POLICY BRIEF The British Constitution after Brexit The case for popular codification AUTHOR Josh Simons, Harvard-Kennedy Scholar ABSTRACT The British constitution is under considerable strain. Brexit has drawn attention to the several competing sites of sovereignty within the British constitution and the transformed relationship between the executive and judiciary, fuelling a broader, popular interest in constitutional questions. The UK needs to reach an enduring constitutional settlement. This will require sustained political engagement with proposals for constitutional reform, guided by three underlying principles: the people, not parliament, are the ultimate source of sovereign authority in Britain; the United Kingdom is a voluntary union of nations which requires the ongoing consent of the people of each of its nations; and British democracy must be strengthened, extended, and re-energized. I argue that Britain should begin a process of codifying parts of the constitution. This process could confront many of the rumbling, structural challenges facing British politics, rather than brushing them under the rug, producing a codified constitution which retained the valuable capacity to adapt and change over time. This process of codification will involve risk, since the outcome cannot be preordained, controlled, legislated for, or determined in court. Embracing the process of codification would require a particular kind of trust in the citizens of the United Kingdom, a willingness to begin a collective journey whose destination cannot
