Yeovil was associated with the glove-making industry during the 1800s and later in the 20th century, became an centre for the aircraft and defence industries, making it a target for bombing in the Second World War.

  • Stalemate by Design? How Binary Voting Caused the Brexit Impasse of 2019
    Munich Social Science Review, New Series, vol. 3 (2020) Stalemate by Design? How Binary Voting Caused the Brexit Impasse of 2019 G. M. Peter Swann Nottingham University Business School, Nottingham NG8 1BB, United Kingdom, [email protected] Abstract: Between January and April, 2019, the UK parliament voted on the Prime Minister’s proposed Brexit deal, and also held a series of indicative votes on eight other Brexit options. There was no majority support in any of the votes for the Prime Minister’s deal, nor indeed for any of the other options. This outcome led to a prolonged period of political stalemate, which many people considered to be the fault of the Prime Minister, and her resignation became inevitable. Controversially, perhaps, I shall argue that the fault did not lie with the Prime Minster, but with Parliament’s stubborn insistence on using its default binary approach to voting. The outcome could have been quite different if Parliament had been willing to embrace the most modest of innovations: a voting system such as the single transferable vote, or multi-round exhaustive votes, which would be guaranteed to produce a ‘winner’. Keywords: Brexit, Parliament, Binary Votes, Indicative Votes, Single Transferable Vote, Exhaustive Votes 1. Introduction This paper considers the impasse in the Brexit process that developed from the start of 2019. I argue that an important factor in the emergence of this impasse was the use of binary voting – the default method of voting in the Westminster Parliament. I shall argue that alternative voting processes would have had a much greater chance of success.

Peter played an active librariesconsultation role in village life since moving here For any questions about the proposals, please email with Penny in 2005, including as [email protected] chairman of Lopen Parish Council 2007 - 2011 when he fought valiantly for Lopen’s interests. Peter enjoyed a distinguished and varied career in public service both in the UK and overseas. NEWS from SLOW SLOW is the village NEWS from SLOW campaign to The shocking reality of stop speeding speeding through our village through Lopen Over six days at the end of January this year 8,239 vehicles passed through Lopen of which some 4 out of 10 were driven at or below the 30mph speed limit. That leaves the remaining 6 out of 10 being driven illegally at speeds in excess of the speed limit. Over half of these were recorded at speeds between 40-50mph. No fewer than 53 drivers were logged at over 60mph and three individuals, believe it or not, at more than 70mph.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline
