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.

  • European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7Th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament Elections
    European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament elections Dr Philip Lynch ([email protected]) & Dr Richard Whitaker ([email protected]) University of Leicester UKIP and the 2014 European Elections Philip Lynch ( [email protected], @drphiliplynch ) and Richard Whitaker ( [email protected], @rickwhitaker ) Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester UKIP go into the 2014 European elections in a far stronger position than they did five years earlier. The crucial differences are first, that UKIP have not experienced the decline in support in general election polling that they normally do after a European election. On the contrary, they are now consistently placed in third position in polls of general election vote intentions. Second, their ratings in polls of European election vote intention are some ten points higher on average than they were in the run up to the 2009 contest for seats in the European Parliament (EP). Third, they have more than double the number of members and a much better, even if still small base in local councils having secured 147 seats in the 2013 local elections. Fourth, while they have benefitted in the past from Conservative supporters lending UKIP their vote, they are in an even better position to do so this time around given that the Tories are now in government. On top of that, if UKIP’s campaign to win even more support from working class voters is successful, they will make headway in areas where Labour are traditionally strong. The presence of the Liberal Democrats in government alongside the collapse of the BNP add to the auspicious conditions for UKIP in 2014.

  • How Democratic Are the UK's Political Parties and Party System?
    How democratic are the UK’s political parties and party Provided by LSE Research Online Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk sCORE ystem? democraticaudit.com /2016/02/08/how-democratic-uks-political-parties-party-system/ By Democratic Audit UK 2016-2-8 As part of the 2017 Audit of UK Democracy, Sean Kippin, Patrick Dunleavy and the DA team examine how democratic the UK’s party system and political parties are. Parties often attract criticism from those outside their ranks, but they have multiple, complex roles to play in any liberal democratic society. The UK’s system has many strengths, but also key weaknesses, where meaningful reform could realistically take place. A Unite band plays during Labour’s 2015 election campaign. Photo: Labour Party via a CC- BY-NC-ND 2.0 licence What does democracy require for political parties and a party system? Structuring competition and engagement The party system should provide citizens with a framework for simplifying and organising political ideas and discourses, providing coherent packages of policy proposals, so as to sustain vigorous and effective electoral competition between rival teams. Parties should provide enduring brands, able to sustain the engagement and trust of most citizens over long periods. Main parties should help to recruit, socialise, select and promote talented individuals into elected public office, from local council to national government levels. Party groups in elected legislatures and outside organisations should help to sustain viable and accountable leadership teams, and contribute to the scrutiny of public policies and elected officials’ behaviour, in the public interest.

  • 1 Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties: A Framework for Analysis Oliver Daddow and Isabelle Hertner Abstract The term ‘toxic masculinity’ was coined in the 1990s by sociologists and psychologists. It has since been appropriated by scholars and commentators interested in gendered behaviours and outcomes in politics. However, despite the attention belatedly being paid to masculinities as part of that research, our appreciation of, specifically, toxic masculinity’s part in shaping political practices remains underdeveloped. This article proposes a move in this direction by designing a conceptual framework for exploring toxic masculinity inside political parties. We adapt findings from the original toxic masculinity literature to generate a series of indicators of toxic masculinity spanning the policy and discursive aspects of party political action. We then test the framework using a paired comparison of two parties of the populist right where we might expect to see relatively high levels of toxic masculinity: the Alternative for Germany and the UK Independence Party. Our empirical findings give us confidence that drawing on the concept of toxic masculinity can provide us with novel insights into the interplay between masculinity and political party cultures. We also hope that it will inspire a significant body of new research into toxic masculinity in political parties from across the party spectrum as well as globally. Keywords toxic masculinity; gender; AfD; Ukip; Nigel Farage 1 Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties: A Framework for Analysis 1. Introduction In politics as in society, toxic masculinity – known in Mandarin as ‘straight male cancer’ (Kesvani, 2018) – has become an important focus for public discussion around, as well as the theoretical and applied research into, gender-based violence, misogyny and the mistreatment of women in public life.

  • The Andrew Marr Show Interview: Nigel Farage, Mep Leader, Ukip Party March 3 2013
    PLEASE NOTE “THE ANDREW MARR SHOW” MUST BE CREDITED IF ANY PART OF THIS TRANSCRIPT IS USED THE ANDREW MARR SHOW INTERVIEW: (Presented by Sophie Raworth) NIGEL FARAGE, MEP LEADER, UKIP PARTY MARCH 3rd 2013 SOPHIE RAWORTH: Now the Liberal Democrats were jubilant after holding onto Chris Huhne’s seat at the Eastleigh by-election on Thursday, but the pictures that dominated the papers afterwards were of Nigel Farage, the UK Independence Party Leader, celebrating in style. They may not have won Eastleigh, but UKIP’s strong showing in a constituency where they had little track record has given them a boost. So after winning 28 per cent of the vote and pushing the Tories into third place, was it rather more than a protest vote? Well Nigel Farage joins me this morning. Good morning. You must be kicking yourself this morning because potentially if you had stood, I mean you could be sitting here as UKIP’s first Member of Parliament? NIGEL FARAGE: Well we had a very good candidate in Diane James. There’s no evidence I would have got any more votes than her. SOPHIE RAWORTH: Really? 1 NIGEL FARAGE: No, absolutely none whatsoever. And the point is the reason I didn’t stand is I want to lead the party into the European Elections, which take place next year, where I believe we can cause a really historic result. So we didn’t quite get over the line. The postal vote system in by-elections really does count against us because there simply isn’t time to reach everybody.

  • Britain After Brexit: a Nation Divided,” Journal of Democracy 28 (January 2017): 17–30
    © 2017 National Endowment for Democracy and Johns Hopkins University Press. This article first appeared in Journal of Democracy 28 (January 2017): 17–30. Reprinted with permission by Johns Hopkins University Press. Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin, “Britain After Brexit: A Nation Divided,” Journal of Democracy 28 (January 2017): 17–30. Britain After Brexit: A Nation Divided Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin Robert Ford is professor of political science at the University of Manchester. Matthew Goodwin is professor of politics at the University of Kent and senior visiting fellow at Chatham House. They are coauthors of Revolt of the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain (2014). On 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom voted 52 to 48 percent to leave the European Union.1 The vote for “Brexit” sent shockwaves around the world, rocking financial markets and rekindling global debates about the power of populism and nationalism, as well as the long-term viability of the EU. Aside from calling attention to challenges to mainstream liberal democracy and international integration, the vote for Brexit also highlights the deepening political divides that cut across traditional party lines in Britain and now threaten to further destabilize an already crumbling two-party system. On one level, the shocking result served as a powerful reminder of the sheer force of Britain’s entrenched Euroskeptic tradition and of the acrimonious splits among the country’s political elite over Britain’s relationship with Europe. But on a deeper level, Brexit should also be seen as a symptom of longer-term social changes that have quietly been reshaping public opinion, political behavior, and party competition in Britain as well as in other Western democracies.
