Migrant Voters in the 2015 General Election 1. Introduction The 2015 general election looks to be the closest and least predictable in living memory, and immigration is a key issue at the heart of the contest. With concerns about the economy slowly receding as the financial crisis fades into memory, immigration has returned to the top of the political agenda, named by more voters as their most pressing political concern than any other issue1. Widespread anxiety about immigration has also been a key driver behind the surge in support for UKIP, though it is far from the only issue this new party is mobilizing around2. Much attention has been paid to the voters most anxious about immigration, and what can be done to assuage their concerns. Yet amidst this fierce debate about whether, and how, to restrict immigration, an important electoral voice has been largely overlooked: that of migrants themselves. In this briefing, we argue that the migrant The political benefits of engaging with electorate is a crucial constituency in the 2015 migrant voters could be felt far into the election, and will only grow in importance in future.

  • Understanding Governments Attitudes to Social Housing
    Understanding Government’s Attitudes to Social Housing through the Application of Politeness Theory Abstract This paper gives a brief background of housing policy in England from the 2010 general election where David Cameron was appointed Prime Minister of a Coalition government with the Liberal Democrats and throughout the years that followed. The study looks at government attitudes towards social housing from 2015, where David Cameron had just become Prime Minister of an entirely Conservative Government, to 2018 following important events such as Brexit and the tragic Grenfell Tower fire. Through the application of politeness theory, as originally put forward by Brown & Levinson (1978, 1987), the study analysis the speeches of key ministers to the National Housing Summit and suggests that the use of positive and negative politeness strategies could give an idea as to the true attitudes of government. Word Count: 5472 Emily Pumford [email protected] Job Title: Researcher 1 Organisation: The Riverside Group Current research experience: 3 years Understanding Government’s Attitudes to Social Housing through the Application of Politeness Theory Introduction and Background For years, the Conservative Party have prided themselves on their support for home ownership. From Margaret Thatcher proudly proclaiming that they had taken the ‘biggest single step towards a home-owning democracy ever’ (Conservative Manifest 1983), David Cameron arguing that they would become ‘once again, the party of home ownership in our country’ (Conservative Party Conference Speech 2014) and Theresa May, as recently as 2017, declaring that they would ‘make the British Dream a reality by reigniting home ownership in Britain’ (Conservative Party Conference Speech 2017).
