  • Invitation to Join the Government of Britain

    Invitation to Join the Government of Britain

    INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN THE CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO FOR ScOTLAND 2010 INVITATION TO JOIN THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITAIN A country is at its best when the bonds between people are strong and when the sense of national purpose is clear. Today the challenges facing Britain are immense. Our economy is overwhelmed by debt, our social fabric is frayed and our political system has betrayed the people. But these problems can be overcome if we pull together and work together. If we remember that we are all in this together. Some politicians say: ‘give us your vote and we will sort out all your problems’. We say: real change comes not from government alone. Real change comes when the people are inspired and mobilised, when millions of us are fired up to play a part in the nation’s future. Yes this is ambitious. Yes it is optimistic. But in the end all the Acts of Parliament, all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, are just politicians’ words without you and your involvement. How will we deal with the debt crisis unless we understand that we are all in this together? How will we raise responsible children unless every adult plays their part? How will we revitalise communities unless people stop asking ‘who will fix this?’ and start asking ‘what can I do?’ Britain will change for the better when we all elect to take part, to take responsibility – if we all come together. Collective strength will overpower our problems. Only together can we can get rid of this government and, eventually, its debt.

We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).

    Scottish Parliament Elections Hustings Event

    Scottish Parliament Elections Hustings Event Saturday 9th April Hilton Grosvenor Hotel, Glasgow “Women need to have their voices heard as part of the campaign for the 2016 Scottish Parliament elections. They are the cornerstone of communities – both socially and economically. Political parties need to engage with women and listen to their concerns on a range of issues which are important to them, their families and communities as a whole. This event has ensured that those attending are able to raise questions and seek answers to the issues which matter the most to women of all ages, from throughout Scotland.” Agnes Tolmie Chair, SWC www.scottishwomensconvention.org Introduction As part of the 2014 Referendum debate, the Scottish Women’s Convention held a series of events throughout Scotland, which gave local women the opportunity to ask questions directly to both campaigns. The SWC has organised similar events around the Scottish Parliament elections in 2016. By bringing together representatives of the main political parties, women have been able to ask questions which are important to them leading up to the May vote. This event was held at the Hilton Grosvenor Hotel, Glasgow, on Saturday 9th April. Representatives from seven of Scotland’s main political parties set out manifesto commitments and key policies for the upcoming elections. Women were able to ask questions relevant to them, their families and communities across Scotland. The session was chaired by Agnes Tolmie, SWC Chair. The SWC would like to thank all of those who attended and contributed to worthwhile discussions. Annabel Goldie - Scottish Conservative Party Annabel was an MSP for the West of Scotland from 1999 to 2016.

    Fact Sheet Msps with Dual Mandates 12 January 2016 Msps: Current Series

    The Scottish Parliament and Scottish Parliament I nfor mation C entre l ogo Scottish Parliament Fact sheet MSPs with Dual Mandates 12 January 2016 MSPs: Current Series This fact sheet lists all Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) who currently hold a dual mandate. It also lists the MSPs that held dual mandates in previous sessions. Dual mandate is the term used to describe those MSPs who, in addition to their seat in the Scottish Parliament, also hold a seat in either the House of Commons (MPs), House of Lords (Peers) or represent a ward in their local council (councillors). This fact sheet lists the name of the MSP, their party and the constituency or region that they represent in the Scottish Parliament. It also lists the area that they represent in the House of Commons or in local government or their title (if they are a peer). Finally, this document also provides information on the start and end dates of dual mandates. It should be noted that no MSP has held a dual mandate through also holding a seat in the European Parliament.
