Russell Grant Predicts Changes at Number 10 Submitted By: Russell Grant Astrology Tuesday, 5 May 2009 Russell Grant predicts changes at Number 10 Submitted by: Russell Grant Astrology Tuesday, 5 May 2009 UNEASY LAYS THE HEAD THAT LIVES IN NUMBER 10! The media and much of the public are obsessed with finding Gordon Brown’s successor. The British Prime Minister appears to be getting more unpopular by the day has a host of wannabes lined-up according to the press. This weekend three names were brought to the fore, but none have confirmed their intentions – except Harriet Harman who categorically stated she didn’t want to be the leader (although she should have been advised it’s best to ‘never say never’ – though the chaps have undoubtedly been reminded that he who wields the knife never becomes chief. I have no birth times for the Labour MP’s put in the frame by the media, but their solar charts should give us some information as to whether they are fit for Prime Ministerial purpose – if anyone has a time then I would be delighted to receive it. Please note, I am not forecasting if they will become PM, only if they have leadership qualities. ALAN JOHNSON MP Minister for Health. A fiery trine joining Venus/Pluto/Chiron gives him great credentials to be PM. His chart has a profound honesty about it; the qualities of Venus and Pluto give him a hypnotic charm. Alan might not be drop-dead gorgeous to look at (his 1960’s hair-do is almost as old as the Queen’s also Sun in Taurus) but I bet if you met him he’d leave you with a memorable aura that would make you feel very, very special. Chiron, the great healer, gives the fundamental feeling that whatever AJ touches he can sort out, taking the irreparable and transforming it. The NHS is no doubt safe in his hands. With Venus in Aries (England’s sign) there is a love affair between the two planets; throw in mesmeric Pluto into the cosmic mix so he can heal England’s wounds. A kind of St George, slaying the nation’s dragons. Jupiter exalted in Pisces moral and ethical and a very ticklish funny-bone: a likely New Moon in Taurus (dependent on time) connects along with Mercury with the Union chart, so suddenly his strength becomes not just English but British. The Sun’s trines to Mars in Virgo give him great strength and creativity for the good of all. No real heavy aspects apart from a wide Mercury/Pluto which can make him linger for too long over minutiae and miss the bigger picture (though Jupiter in Pisces will rescue him from that) gives him great popularity and he talks sense. I like this man he’d certainly have a chance to command my vote. HARRIET HARMAN – Leader of the House Like Alan Johnson Hattie Harman has Jupiter in Pisces which reveals a great sense of humour and undoubtedly a strong faith and belief network and high scruples; she is totally committed to women’s’ rights. I have always likened HH to Margaret Thatcher but with more of a fun side. I really believe she has, you can sometimes catch her chuckling at PMQ’s. Although there is no birth time she does have Moon in Aquarius, this gives her a cool detachment when many people believe she has a cold, distant side, Page 1 often controversial and ever-mindful of equality for women. It is true, I have Moon Aq and Jupiter Pisces and there is a tendency to be icy (this is Saturn’s traditional sign after all) but it means being able to keep control under fire. Although she has discounted herself as a wannabe PM, with Moon/Pluto conjunction in Leo this is surely her very aristocratic family tree and can make her, at times, too introspective – although her sun-sign in Leo no doubt helps her live-up to her noble heritage, I am sorry she has expelled herself from the PM race as she has great possibilities. The possibility of Harriet being a Full Moon child means her life comes in fated chapters when she cannot control the endings in her life, they just seem to happen, and then another chapter begins.. Venus conj Uranus in Cancer this corresponds once again to someone who has strong, radical views. I really like her ability to respond to humanitarian matters in a compassionate although eccentric way that can upset traditionalists, but her instincts tells her that she must fight for certain rights and nothing will stop her from doing so – the Moon/Pluto can make her obsessed with her goals.. She is a very unusual woman and with Neptune/Mars conjunct in Libra she must check all her facts to avoid being seen as foolish. I do find it strange that this power-struck chart doesn’t want to be PM, I think she does, but perhaps not at this time. She is a wait-and-see gal as rejection isn’t on her astro-agenda. JACK STRAW – Minister of Justice Jack Straw has all the astro-attributes of power: Saturn/Mercury/Sun/Pluto conjunct in Leo, Mars/Venus conjunct Virgo and a stellium in Libra: Neptune, Moon, Jupiter all joined together. Aha! I was quoted in the press only last week that I believe the sign of Libra should be very strong in the next PM of the United Kingdom. David Cameron has got it, has Jack Straw? Possibly. The problem with his chart is that it is all grouped together covering just four signs starting from Cancer and ending at Libra every major planet is in Cancer, Leo, Virgo or Libra. This says he might find it hard to identify with certain areas outside his interest or mind. He might find it difficult to be as open-minded as say HH or AJ. He is more fixed in his opinions unlikely to change or alter although he can compromise that doesn’t mean he can change easily – leopards, spots spring to mind. The two love/sex planets conjunct in Virgo can give him an interest in sexual affairs in a Parliamentary sense no wonder he spearheaded the sexual orientations bill. This reveals a fair man, someone who is driven by a sense of justice for all no matter what or who. He can leave some people or groups exasperated because they can often bang their head against the brick wall he puts up. The south node of the Moon is separated from the rest of the solar chart, and, of course, we don’t have his time but to me JS has the fundamental qualities needed to PM but will need to have good men and women around him to cover those areas of life and living that he doesn’t necessarily ‘get’. DAVID MILLIBAND – Foreign Secretary In the summer of last year the British media speculated that Gordon Brown was finished and word on the street was that David Miliband was out to oust and succeed him. A gang of Labour back-bench MPs began to speak out against the PM and we all thought the time was nigh for a coup. However, the old adage that the assassin ends up as dead as a dodo deterred someone of the intuition and intelligence of DM from making a move. With a watery Grand Trine bringing together the powers of the Sun/Neptune/Saturn in a positive pyramid this man has abilities that are undetectable to the human eye! He has psychic powers, although he’d probably not call them that, but he will know when it is right to do something and when not to. With Moon in Aquarius like Harriet Harman, his intuition is further pronounced with a distinct ability to Page 2 know the future and envision it. The Mercury/Venus conjunction gives him innate charm, for some matinee idol looks and the potential air sign Grand Trine with Mars/Jupiter/Moon the cosmic route to an exceptional mind which will make him rationalise everything. This is sure to make Miliband militate against his other very emotional watery Grand Trine. This is worrying as his spiritual side is pronounced with the watery trines and as astrology is about potential it would appear he hasn’t developed this side as much as he should. However he also has a capacity to be seen as seemingly looking down on people, and in what some would describe as a public schoolboy snottiness. If he doesn’t agree what is being asked of him he sneers which can be most unbecoming this comes from his Ascendant which we do not know without his time of birth. Once the imagemakers have knocked that haughtiness out of him, then DM is a candidate for greatness with his superintelligence and superpowers. If I was asked on purely astrological grounds who should be leading the Labour party it would be 1)Alan Johnson 2)David Miliband 3)Harriet Harman 4)Jack Straw Editorial Notes: Credit required to: www.russellgrant.com if any of the copy used.

  • The Effect of Observable Party Cohesion on Voter Choice in Liberal Democracies
    PhD in Political Science The effect of observable party cohesion on voter choice in liberal democracies. Candidate David Jack Barrett Supervisor Michael Gallagher September 2017 2 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Date Signature 3 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help of a large number of people, and I would like to take the opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to them. First, my supervisor Michael Gallagher has truly been extraordinarily helpful, providing comments and feedback at every point in the last four years, often at quite short notice. His encouragement and advice both on this thesis, but also in teaching and to attending conferences has always been wonderful. Certainly no one could have asked for a more patient and forgiving supervisor. This thesis would have been impossible without the financial support provided by the Irish Research Council (IRC) and by the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. My work is deeply in the debt of many scholars. James Davidson in the University of Exeter though, especially, provided me with much of the data used in Chapter Five in this thesis that he had gathered for his own research, and answered my endless questions regarding it, without which this research would have been impossible.

  • Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013
    Research Note: Former Special Advisers in Cabinet, 1979-2013 Executive Summary Sixteen special advisers have gone on to become Cabinet Ministers. This means that of the 492 special advisers listed in the Constitution Unit database in the period 1979-2010, only 3% entered Cabinet. Seven Conservative party Cabinet members were formerly special advisers. o Four Conservative special advisers went on to become Cabinet Ministers in the 1979-1997 period of Conservative governments. o Three former Conservative special advisers currently sit in the Coalition Cabinet: David Cameron, George Osborne and Jonathan Hill. Eight Labour Cabinet members between 1997-2010 were former special advisers. o Five of the eight former special advisers brought into the Labour Cabinet between 1997-2010 had been special advisers to Tony Blair or Gordon Brown. o Jack Straw entered Cabinet in 1997 having been a special adviser before 1979. One Liberal Democrat Cabinet member, Vince Cable, was previously a special adviser to a Labour minister. The Coalition Cabinet of January 2013 currently has four members who were once special advisers. o Also attending Cabinet meetings is another former special adviser: Oliver Letwin as Minister of State for Policy. There are traditionally 21 or 22 Ministers who sit in Cabinet. Unsurprisingly, the number and proportion of Cabinet Ministers who were previously special advisers generally increases the longer governments go on. The number of Cabinet Ministers who were formerly special advisers was greatest at the end of the Labour administration (1997-2010) when seven of the Cabinet Ministers were former special advisers. The proportion of Cabinet made up of former special advisers was greatest in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet when almost one-third (30.5%) of the Cabinet were former special advisers.

  • New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health
    New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health The Rt Hon Alan Johnson MP Secretary of State for Health Alan Johnson was first elected to Parliament in 1997 as the Member for Kingston upon Hull. A former postman, Alan Johnson served as a former General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and is one of the largest trade union names to have entered Parliament in recent decades. Often credited with the much coveted tag of being an "ordinary bloke", he is highly articulate and effective and is credited with the successful campaign that deterred the previous Conservative government from privatising the Post Office. Popular among his peers, Alan Johnson is generally regarded to be on the centre right of the Labour Party and is well regarded by the Labour leadership. As a union member of Labour's ruling NEC (up to 1996) he was seen as supportive of Tony Blair's attempts to modernise the Labour Party. He was the only senior union leader to back the abolition of Labour's clause IV. He becomes the first former union leader to become a cabinet minister in nearly 40 years when he is appointed to the Work and Pensions brief in 2004. After moving to Trade and Industry, he becomes Education and Skills Secretary in May 2006. After being tipped by many as the front-runner in the Labour deputy leadership contest of 2007, Alan Johnson was narrowly beaten by Harriet Harman.

  • Book Review: Ed: the Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/07/16/book-review-ed-the-milibands-and-the-making-of-a-labour-leader/ Book Review: Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader Matthew Partridge reviews the brand new Ed Miliband biography by Mehdi Hasan and James Macintyre, published this weekend. Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader. By Mehdi Hassan and James Macintyre. Biteback Publishing. June 2011. Writing the first major biography of a political figure, which is what Mehdi Hasan and James Macintyre have done with Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader, is always challenging. The first major work looking at Margaret Thatcher did not reach the public until a year after she entered Downing Street and five years after her election as Conservative leader. Even though publishers would be quicker to respond to the rise of John Major, Tony Blair, William Hague and others, they all had relatively substantial parliamentary careers from which their biographers could draw from. Indeed, the only recent party leader with a comparably thin record was David Cameron, the present occupant of Downing Street. The parallels between the career trajectory of Miliband and Cameron, are superficially striking. For instance, both had the advantage of family connections, entered politics as advisors, took mid-career breaks and enjoyed the close patronage of their predecessors. However, while Cameron spent most of his time as a researcher in the Conservative party’s central office, his two stints with Norman Lamont and Michael Howard proved to be short lived.
