Peter Francis Gladstone 200 Campaign by the library at St Deiniol’s Liberal Democrat History Group Publication announcement Coming into Focus The transformation of the Liberal Party 1945–64 The survival of the Liberal Party after 1945 is one of the most surprising phenomena in modern British political history. By the late 1940s, the Party’s lingering death throes seemed to be reaching their conclusion. With only a handful of parliamentary seats and no message to offer the electorate, the flame carried by Gladstone and Lloyd George was nearly extinguished. But the Liberal Party clung on and then revived in the 1960s. Coming into Focus, published by VDM Verlag Dr. Muller Aktiengesellschaft & Co. KG, provides new perspectives on the survival and revival of the Liberal Party after 1945. It shows how the independence of Liberal associations, the recruitment of Liberal activists in the late 1940s, and the Party’s strength in local government in northern England were important reasons for the Party’s survival. A new wave of recruitment after 1955, inspired by Jo Grimond’s leadership, facilitated the Liberal revival, but a key factor was the development of early forms of community politics in a number of towns and cities in England and Scotland. This led to an explosion in the number of Liberal councillors, particularly in suburban areas. Not only was the Party saved, but the foundations for the modern Liberal Party and its successor were laid. About the author Mark Egan was educated at University College, Oxford and completed his doctorate on the grassroots history of the Liberal Party in 2000. He is a regular contributor to the Journal of Liberal History and has also recently completed a book on the history of pilotage on the River Tyne.

  • Compassthe DIRECTION for the DEMOCRATIC LEFT
    compassTHE DIRECTION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT MAPPING THE CENTRE GROUND Peter Kellner compasscontents Mapping the Centre Ground “This is a good time to think afresh about the way we do politics.The decline of the old ideologies has made many of the old Left-Right arguments redundant.A bold project to design a positive version of the Centre could fill the void.” Compass publications are intended to create real debate and discussion around the key issues facing the democratic left - however the views expressed in this publication are not a statement of Compass policy. compass Mapping the Centre Ground Peter Kellner All three leaders of Britain’s main political parties agree on one thing: elections are won and lost on the centre ground.Tony Blair insists that Labour has won the last three elections as a centre party, and would return to the wilderness were it to revert to left-wing policies. David Cameron says with equal fervour that the Conservatives must embrace the Centre if they are to return to power. Sir Menzies Campbell says that the Liberal Democrats occupy the centre ground out of principle, not electoral calculation, and he has nothing to fear from his rivals invading his space. What are we to make of all this? It is sometimes said that when any proposition commands such broad agreement, it is probably wrong. Does the shared obsession of all three party leaders count as a bad, consensual error – or are they right to compete for the same location on the left-right axis? This article is an attempt to answer that question, via an excursion down memory lane, a search for clear definitions and some speculation about the future of political debate.

  • The Liberal Party and the 1945 General Election
    The Liberal Party and the 1945 General Election In September last year, the Liberal Democrat History Group published a special supplement on the Liberal Party's campaign in the 1945 general election. In December, the publication, along with an article in Contemporary Record by Malcolm Baines, was reviewed by Tony Greaves and Mark Egan, Roger and Pat Thorn, and Michael Steed, contribute to the continuing debate. The Liberal Party and the 1945 General Election was by bicycle and apart from the “big night” I more or less by Roger and Pat Thorn had Haverhill to myself. As a first experience, that was all great fun. The Liberal Democrats History Group has recently published But the Ely campaign was rather desperate.

  • Women's Political Participation in the UK
    Women's political participation in the UK Women have fraditionally been under-represented in UK politica~institutions. Although women won the right to vote in 1918 they remained fewer than one in ten members of parliament until 1997. Since 1997 significant improvements have been made The number of women in parl~amenthas roughly doubled, and new institutions have been established with high proportions of women members These new institutions have also set out to operate in different hays, iislng new policy-making processes which are more inclusive of women and their concerns Political parties are makiig greater efforts to ensure that Nomen are represented, and rn one part of the UK a women's party has Deen formed Although there remains a iong way to go, the UK provides a useful case study of a co~ntryin transition Womer's representation is increasing and a new pol~ticalculture may be developing There is much debate currently about the d fference that women representatives will make The UK is also a case study of some of the obstacles preventing greater women's representation, and how they may be overcome Long traditions, and the design of political institutions, mean :hat the barriers to women s participation have been particularly high Recent changes have been helped by institutional reform, but have resuited primarily from positive action' adopted by political partles, following sustained campaigns by women activists These positive actlon systems, which have rigidly required selection of women candidates, have been controversial But they have proven to be effective, and their results in terms of women s representation have been widely welcomed Author Iioies Meg Russell has been Senior Research Fellow at the Constitution Unit, University College London since 1998.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paga(s|“. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from, left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from “photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
