He celebrated it with a brief state- ment declaring the formal end of the 14-year controversy over Europe and calling on the anti-Marketeers to join wholeheartedly in working inside Europe to solve the economic crisis.

    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity

    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.

It is often assumed that the relationship between religious organisations and Marxism has often been acrimonious, the latter famously rejecting religion as the ‘opium of the people’, and religion resisting the revolutionary nature of Marxism. Taking a biographical approach, examining four Church of England clergymen, Robert Cummings, Conrad Noel, Hewlett Johnson and Alan Ecclestone, this thesis shows that some Anglicans saw a philosophical connection between Christianity and Marxism.

    History In-Service Team, Supporting Leaving Certificate History. www.hist.ie 2005, Autumn Term. CONTENTS Approaches to Teaching Key Personalities Incorporating the key personalities in teaching the revised history syllabus p2 Jean Monnet LME4 p4 Worksheet on key personalities p7 Otto Von Bismarck LME2 p8 Margaret Thatcher LME4 p10 Approaches to Teaching Key Personalities Incorporating the key personalities in teaching the revised history syllabus A feature of the revised Leaving Certificate history syllabus is the identification of key personalities. A range of personalities is listed for each topic in the syllabus. It is envisaged that students will encounter each personality in the context of their contribution as participants in and/or witnesses to events outlined in the elements. This is an important point, as it is not necessary for students to have a detailed knowledge of each personality, including extensive biographical details. Rather, the advantage of studying the personalities is that they help, in many cases, to make the elements more clear and accessible, by ‘personalising' them. The following pages suggest some strategies and approaches to teaching the topic with reference to key personalities. A range of personalities feature in the exemplification of approaches that follow. Teachers may wish to utilise some of these suggestions in their own classroom practice as they see fit. Key personalities, as mentioned in the syllabus and Guidelines History deals with the experience of human life in the past. The study of human experience in the past, its particularity and its variety, is indispensable to a student’s developing understanding of the human condition and human motivation.

    Paul Stephenson Director of Communications, Vote Leave September 2015 – June 2016 21 August 2020 The lead-up to the campaign, September 2015 – March 2016 UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): How difficult, if at all, was it to persuade you to join Vote Leave? Paul Stephenson (PS): Persuading my wife was the most difficult thing I think. I was working in the British Bankers’ Association. I had a comfortable job, comfortable existence. It was interesting work but I had done it for a number of years and was interested in a new challenge. I had known Dom(inic Cummings) for quite a while, not well but we mixed in similar political circles. It’s basically the Eurosceptic clan that was founded by Rodney Leach back in the day, probably the Godfather of the whole movement. It was a great shame that he died mid-way through the campaign. It sounded exciting and I just love political campaigns. Actually, the thing for me was that I wasn’t a Leaver until the renegotiation. I think that speaks to the failure of the renegotiation in some ways. I helped set up Open Europe back in the day. I did believe in EU reform. I was a Eurosceptic. I just wasn’t a UKIP-er. And, actually, if you go back all that time, the ‘No’ Euro campaign was ‘Europe, yes, Euro, no’. The reason Cameron was doing the renegotiation was he wanted to win that swing middle over who didn’t particularly love the EU but would stay in if it changed.

Despite being a wealthy, professional woman, it was as a lower-middle class ‘housewife’ that she won the Conservative party leadership in 1975 and the general election in 1979. This raises significant historical questions. What was it about a ‘housewife’ identity that was believed to suggest the necessary qualities of a political leader? It also emphasises the centrality of gender to Thatcher’s leadership image.

Richard Tice (RT): When the big debate was happening really in the 1990s about whether or not the UK should join the euro, I looked at it. I am a business- person, but my degree was quantity surveying, construction economics, and did economics at A Level. It just struck me, that I thought the whole project was completely flawed in that if you take away the right to set your own interest rate according to your own economy’s needs, then essentially it is like taking away a leg of a chair. You are making the chair substantially less stable and you are reducing your own flexibility. So I was very anxious about that. I wrote a three-page letter to Gordon Brown and I knew Nick Herbert, who you know was an MP. He was an old mate, and he was with Rodney Leach. He was the first director of Business for Sterling. So I got involved, gave them some money, ended up becoming a director of it, and it went from there. UKICE: Lots of people objected to the Euro but didn’t want to see the UK leave the EU. At that stage, would you have put yourself in that camp? Page 1/22 RT: I was very sceptical of the EU at that time, but in a sense, I was more focused on trying to make sure we didn’t join the Euro.
