  • An Analysis of Euroskepticism's Influence on Britain's Vote to Leave the European Union
    An Analysis of Euroskepticism’s Influence on Britain’s Vote to Leave the European Union* Kayla McCrary Abstract In June 2016, the United Kingdom held an in/out referendum on membership in the European Union (EU) resulting in a narrow victory for Euroskeptics. Historically, Britain has notably been a Euroskeptic nation, and the following analysis of Britain’s relationship with the EU will explore the implications of Brexit in context with Euroskepticism. This analysis is a result of previous research on the British vote to the leave the EU and draws substantially on research in the fields of voting patterns, social identity, and Britain’s unique characteristics that culminated in the vote to leave the EU. As a result, this paper relies heavily on historical implications of Euroskepticism as well as recent literature on the theories of Euroskeptic voting, demographics, and the history of the relationship between the UK and the EU. The paper concludes that populist and anti-globalist sentiments driven by political parties such as the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) mobilized Euroskepticism, allowing for a philosophy to transform into effective policy change. The main driving factors behind Britain’s unique position of leaving the EU were economic and social. This conclusion is substantiated by a constituency-based analysis, which utilizes demographic data, voter turnout, and the referendum result data in order to quantify Euroskepticism and its impact on the top constituencies that voted to leave the EU. Keywords: European Union, Euroskepticism, Brexit, UKIP, Britain, referenda *Adapted from “An Analysis of British Euroscepticism and Britain’s Vote to Leave the European Union,” a University Honors Thesis for Middle Tennessee State University.

  • Brexit: Initial Reflections
    Brexit: initial reflections ANAND MENON AND JOHN-PAUL SALTER* At around four-thirty on the morning of 24 June 2016, the media began to announce that the British people had voted to leave the European Union. As the final results came in, it emerged that the pro-Brexit campaign had garnered 51.9 per cent of the votes cast and prevailed by a margin of 1,269,501 votes. For the first time in its history, a member state had voted to quit the EU. The outcome of the referendum reflected the confluence of several long- term and more contingent factors. In part, it represented the culmination of a longstanding tension in British politics between, on the one hand, London’s relative effectiveness in shaping European integration to match its own prefer- ences and, on the other, political diffidence when it came to trumpeting such success. This paradox, in turn, resulted from longstanding intraparty divisions over Britain’s relationship with the EU, which have hamstrung such attempts as there have been to make a positive case for British EU membership. The media found it more worthwhile to pour a stream of anti-EU invective into the resulting vacuum rather than critically engage with the issue, let alone highlight the benefits of membership. Consequently, public opinion remained lukewarm at best, treated to a diet of more or less combative and Eurosceptic political rhetoric, much of which disguised a far different reality. The result was also a consequence of the referendum campaign itself. The strategy pursued by Prime Minister David Cameron—of adopting a critical stance towards the EU, promising a referendum, and ultimately campaigning for continued membership—failed.

  • Additional Submissions to Parliament in Support of Inquiries Regarding Brexit Damian Collins MP Dear Mr Collins, Over the Past M
    Additional Submissions to Parliament in Support of Inquiries Regarding Brexit Damian Collins MP Dear Mr Collins, Over the past many months, I have been going through hundreds of thousands of emails and documents, and have come across a variety of communications that I believe are important in furthering your inquiry into what happened between Cambridge Analytica, UKIP and the Leave.EU campaign. As multiple enquiries found that no work was done, I would like to appeal those decisions with further evidence that should hopefully help you and your colleagues reach new conclusions. As you can see with the evidence outlined below and attached here, chargeable work was completed for UKIP and Leave.EU, and I have strong reasons to believe that those datasets and analysed data processed by Cambridge Analytica as part of a Phase 1 payable work engagement (see the proposal documents submitted last April), were later used by the Leave.EU campaign without Cambridge Analytica’s further assistance. The fact remains that chargeable work was done by Cambridge Analytica, at the direction of Leave.EU and UKIP executives, despite a contract never being signed. Despite having no signed contract, the invoice was still paid, not to Cambridge Analytica but instead paid by Arron Banks to UKIP directly. This payment was then not passed onto Cambridge Analytica for the work completed, as an internal decision in UKIP, as their party was not the beneficiary of the work, but Leave.EU was. I am submitting the following additional materials to supplement the testimony and documents I gave to the DCMS Committee last year as follows: 1) FW PRESS INVITATION HOW TO WIN THE EU REFERENDUM INVITE ONLY.pdf a.

  • Reform UK Wales on May 6Th Is a Vote to Support Our Vision for Unlocking the Potential of the UK Economy and All of the Benefits This Will Bring to Our Four Nations
    SENEDD 2021 CONTRACT WITH THE PEOPLE OF WALES CHANGING POLITICS FOR GOOD OUR KEY PLEDGES A REFORM UK GOVERNMENT IN WALES WILL: ENSURE NO MORE LOCKDOWNS such that all people within an area, no matter how big or how small, have restrictions. CLEAR THE NHS BACKLOG CAUSED BY COVID by investing around £1 billion over the next four years to put waiting lists to pre-pandemic levels. GIVE PARENTS THE RIGHT TO TAKE THEIR CHILDREN ON HOLIDAY giving flexibility to take children out of the classroom for up to ten days. BUILD THE M4 RELIEF ROAD and new train stations to improve infrastructure in Wales. REDUCE THE COST OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT by cutting the number of local authorities and pass these savings on to the communities in Wales. 1 OUR BELIEFS Reform UK is not a new political party, rather we are the next phase in the evolution of what started as The Brexit Party. We are here because we see that there is a need to change. If Wales does not move forwards, we will move backwards on the world stage. Many of you put your trust in us in 2019, we are now asking you to do the same. One thing became very apparent between the Brexit Referendum in June 2016 and the UK finally leaving the EU in January 2020. Our political system was not fit for purpose. We have an antiquated electoral system designed to keep the two old parties in power. Millions who do vote have no representation at all, and millions more do not even bother to vote.

  • The 'Today' Programme's Coverage of the 2019
    THE BBC AND BREXIT THE ‘TODAY’ PROGRAMME’S COVERAGE OF THE 2019 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This survey assesses coverage by BBC Radio 4’s Today programme of the European Parliamentary elections between April 12 and May 30, 2019. The volume of EU material was 28.5% of feature time, indicating the importance of the Brexit debate on the news agenda. This amounted to a third of a million words of transcripts. Standout points include: Pro-Brexit opinion was overwhelmingly swamped by those who wanted to avoid ‘no deal’. Speakers had only minimal time to express their views and presenters were not much interested in exploring the potential benefits of Brexit, but rather alleged malpractice or prejudice by pro-Brexit parties and spokesmen. The treatment of anti-Brexit figures was generally much more favourable. After the results of the poll, for example, presenters barely challenged assertions by Remain parties that they had ‘won’ (on a combined basis) the election. By contrast, Sir William Cash – brought on the programme to justify why he had described the government’s negotiating approach as ‘appeasement’ – was questioned by Nick Robinson as if his behaviour was verging on the criminal. Business News – a significant daily chunk of the Today programme – was heavily dominated by contributors who were against ‘no deal’, determined to push as hard as possible the scale of the disruption that would ensue, and who saw almost every negative business development as being the outcome of Brexit uncertainty. The perceived opportunities of Brexit were scarcely explored Almost 500 speakers (487) contributed to the Today coverage.

    2015 National Women's Conference UNISON PRELIMINARY AGENDA UNISON WOMEN’S CONFERENCE 2015 PRELIMINARY AGENDA 12-14 FEBRUARY 2015 SOUTHPORT THEATRE AND CONVENTION CENTRE Page 1 of 58 2015 National Women's Conference UNISON PRELIMINARY AGENDA Page 2 of 58 2015 National Women's Conference UNISON PRELIMINARY AGENDA Recruitment & Organisation 1. Modernising our union Conference notes that, in a time of austerity and job cuts, our recruitment figures for the past year are still encouraging. We commend our activists and staff for their efforts. However, there is still a need to recruit and organise more young members in our union. Given that the majority of public sector workers are women, it is essential that we devise ways to attract young women into our movement, and ensure that our agenda is one in which their aspirations are met, and that our organisation is one in which they can reach their full potential as UNISON members. Conference calls upon the National Women’s Committee to work with other appropriate bodies in UNISON to: 1) Collaborate with student unions, nursing and technical colleges etc to raise awareness of the benefits of union membership and to recruit eligible students into membership at the end of their period of study; 2) Ensure that our branches, regions and formal structures are “user friendly” and easy to access – including by the use of social media; 3) Work with regions to identify appropriate student events where UNISON could have a recruitment and information stand; 4) work with the national young members’ forum to identify the issues which are of concern to potential young women members, and the barriers to them joining a union; 5) request that the NEC consider introducing a reduced flat rate fee for students wishing to join UNISON, and to consider an appropriate rule change.
