In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

Ethical Record The Proceedings of the Conway Hall Ethical Society Vol. 120 No. 11 £1.50 November 2015 Moncure Daniel Conway A VERY UNUSUAL VIRGINIAN see page 16 UPDATE ON ‘NO PLATFORM’ IN STUDENT MEETINGS We have some better news since the October Ethical Record (page 1) reported the banning of secularist Maryam Namazie from speaking at a Warwick students atheist society. After earnest conversations between Humanist and Secular organisations and the National Union of Students, that particular ban was lifted. Nevertheless, fear of the expression of forthright opinions and strong views on contemporary issues from being aired still lurks on campus. We can therefore expect more examples coming to light of similar, somewhat cowardly, behaviour. Universities and their student societies are supposed to be places where all theories and ideologies may be peacefully propounded and debated. {Ed.} GREENER THAN GREEN Jasper Tomlinson 3 ROSA PARKS, GANDHI AND ACTIVE NONVIOLENCE 1 Shahrar Ali 6 VIEwPOINTS C.

The practice has been in place in the public and private sector for decades, where it has worked well in senior positions, and Parliament ought to catch up. This simple step would, I am confident, make Parliament much more representative. It would enable a far wider range of voices, including more women and disabled people, to be present in our debates. That has got to be good news for the quality of our democracy.” Tom Brake, Liberal Democrat MP for Carshalton and Wallington and Shadow First Secretary of State “Job-sharing has so much potential to open up our politics and make it more plural and more progressive.
