  • Review of Ofcom's List of Larger Parties for Elections Taking Place on 5 May
    Review of Ofcom’s list of larger parties for elections taking place on 5 May 2016 Statement Statement Publication date: 11 March 2016 Review of Ofcom’s list of larger parties for elections taking place on 5 May 2016 About this document This document sets out Ofcom’s decision on the list of larger parties in advance of the various elections taking place in May 2016. The list of larger parties reflects the fact that there are a number of larger political parties which have a significant level of electoral support, and a number of elected representatives, across a range of elections within the UK or the devolved nations. Ofcom’s rules on Party Political and Referendum Broadcasts require certain licensed broadcasters to offer a minimum of two party election broadcasts (“PEBs”) to the ‘larger parties’. In addition, if a party is not on the list of larger parties it can still qualify for PEBs. In summary, we have decided that the existing parties on the list should remain on it. In addition, we have decided that the UK Independence Party should be added to the list in England and Wales, and the Green Party should be added to the list in England for the purposes of the May 2016 London Assembly and London Mayoral elections only. As indicated in the Consultation, following the May 2016 elections we intend to review the suitability of the list of larger parties going forwards and consider what alternative approaches there may be to discharge our regulatory functions. We envisage holding meetings with stakeholders ahead of any consultation about this review.

  • London Elections Manifesto
    An age-friendly recovery Age UK London’s Manifesto for the London Mayoral Elections 2021 Manifesto Greater London Forum supported by: For Older People Foreword The impact of the pandemic on older Londoners The pandemic has had a devastating effect on the quality of life of many older Londoners, and revealed the extent of social isolation experienced by many prior to the impact of COVID-19. Too many older people have been cut off from friends and family, faced barriers to engaging with vital community services, struggled to access food and essentials, and tragically many have seen their physical and mental health decline. These challenges have disproportionately affected those on low incomes, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, those with a long-term condition or Abigail Wood dementia, and older disabled Londoners. Chief Executive Age UK London The crisis support for older people delivered by the local Age UK network to older people has been truly exceptional and a lifeline for thousands. Despite this vital work, too many Londoners still struggle to access the support they need to age well. An age-friendly recovery The plan to build back London after the pandemic cannot ignore the contribution of older Londoners. As volunteers, carers, community leaders and active citizens, older Londoners play an important role in the city’s social and cultural life. Through paid work alone, older Londoners contribute at least £47 billion to the capital’s economy. As well as acknowledging their contribution, the plan for London’s recovery as led by the London Recovery Board must also address the needs of older people that have arisen or been exacerbated by the pandemic.

  • The Mayoralties of Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online Rebels Leading London: The Mayoralties of Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson Compared This article compares the mayoralties of the first two directly elected Mayors of London, Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson. The position offers a commanding electoral platform, but weak powers to lead a city regarded as ‘ungovernable’ (Travers 2004).The two mayors had some obvious points of comparison: both were party rebels, mavericks and skilled media operators. Both also used publicity to make up for weak powers, but courted controversy and faced charges of corruption and cronyism. Utilising Hambleton and Sweeting (2004), this article compares their mayoralties in terms of vision, leadership style and policies. Livingstone had a powerful vision that translated into clear policy aims while Johnson was more cautious, shaped by a desire for higher office. In terms of style, Livingstone built coalitions but proved divisive whereas Johnson retained remarkable levels of popularity. Where Livingstone bought experience and skill, Johnson delegated. In policy terms, the two mayors found themselves pushed by their institutional powers towards transport and planning while struggling with deeper issues such as housing. Livingstone introduced the radical congestion charge and a series of symbolic policies. Johnson was far more modest – championing cycling, the 2012 Olympics and avoiding difficult decisions. The two used their office to negotiate, but also challenge, central government. Livingstone’s rebel mayoralty was a platform for personalised change, Johnson’s one for personal ambition. Keywords: Mayors, political leadership, London, comparative, Boris Johnson, Ken Livingstone 1 Directly-elected mayors were introduced to bring new leadership, accountability and vision to English local government.
