  • What Brexit Means for Charities and What They Can Do
    Keep calm and carry on helping people: What Brexit means for charities and what they can do September 2016 Ciaran Price Policy Officer Directory of Social Change 352 Holloway Road London N7 6PA [email protected] © Directory of Social Change 2015 1 Contents 1. Introduction 2. The political situation 3. The economic situation 4. The social situation 5. The legal situation 6. Conclusion Notes: links to important information and further reading 2 1. Introduction On the morning of Friday 24 June 2016 Europe awoke to the largely unexpected news that the British public had voted (51.9% to 48.1%) to leave the European Union after 43 years of membership. The impact was felt instantly with an immediate fall in the value of the pound and global markets sent into turmoil. The UK, the EU, and hundreds and thousands of UK charities and community groups are entering an uncertain period. At the time of writing, there is a crisis in British politics. Until the UK invokes Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, the UK remains a full member of the EU. Constitutional law experts have suggested that legislation may be required before this can happen. Until then, and until British and EU negotiators work out the technicalities of ‘Brexiting’, the UK’s longer-term relationship with the 27-member bloc remains unclear – but we do know that the UK will remain an EU member in the near-term, as there is a two-year (or longer) negotiation process under the treaty. Charities and community groups will no doubt have major concerns about how this affects their ability to continue helping their beneficiaries.

  • Evolving and Adapting in Line with People's Expectations and Needs
    Make Votes Matter www.makevotesmatter.org.uk Contact: Joe Sousek Chris Skidmore MP E: [email protected] Minister for the Constitution T: 07402 965566 Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Copied to: Theresa May Prime Minister 10th October 2016 If our Constitution is to continue “evolving and adapting in line with people’s expectations and needs” the case for Proportional Representation must be given full and fair consideration Dear Mr Skidmore, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Constitution. Now more than ever, stewardship of the UK’s constitution and democratic processes is a crucial role. We therefore welcome your commitment to “see our democracy grow in strength and that everyone can have their ​ voice heard”1, and we wish you every success in the job. ​ It is difficult, however, to see how our democracy can grow in strength or how everyone can have their voice heard without addressing the failures of the UK’s primary democratic process: the election of MPs to the House of Commons through our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. In May 2015, one quarter (24.4%) of votes went to the candidates and manifestos of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats or UK Independence Party. But FPTP delivered a parliament in which these parties share ten seats (1.5% of 650 Commons seats). This cannot be said to be a parliament in which ​ ​ “everyone can have their voice heard”. On the contrary, it is a parliament from which the voices of 7.5 million voters are all but excluded. If our democracy is to grow in strength, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that every vote carries equal weight.

    I N F O C U S The case for PRIVATISING the BBC Edited by PHILIP BOOTH In Focus: The Case for Privatising the BBC This publication is based on research that forms part of the Paragon Initiative. This five-year project will provide a fundamental reassessment of what government should – and should not – do. It will put every area of government activity under the microscope and analyse the failure of current policies. The project will put forward clear and considered solutions to the UK’s problems. It will also identify the areas of government activity that can be put back into the hands of individuals, families, civil society, local government, charities and markets. The Paragon Initiative will create a blueprint for a better, freer Britain – and provide a clear vision of a new relationship between the state and society.
