Get cooking er here What is The Electoral Commission? The Electoral Commission was set up by the UK Parliament in 2000. We are independent of government and political parties. Our job is to: • Encourage people to get involved in our democracy. We do this by running awareness campaigns and community education programmes. • Help make the electoral system secure and easy to use. We do this by reporting on the way elections and referendums are run and advising the government on what changes are needed to make the system better. • Monitor political parties. We do this by checking party finances and making them available for the public to look at. We also officially register political parties. Our public awareness role is set out in Section 13 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. To find out more about The Electoral Commission’s work with young people visit www.dopolitics.org.uk or email [email protected].

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • A Potential Political Revolution Academic Analysis of the Alternative Vote Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky
    May 2011 A Potential Political Revolution Academic analysis of the Alternative Vote Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky Executive Summary This paper builds upon earlier work by Policy Exchange in The Alternative Vote – the system no-one wants which found that the Alternative Vote failed to deliver on many of the claims made for it. This new research note surveys existing work on the subject to show that AV will create far more problems than it has a hope of solving. AV would mean more hung parliaments, and “throwing the rascals out” would become rarer Under the existing UK electoral system, only two out of the last 17 British general elections have failed to produce an overall majority for a single political party. This would change considerably under AV – with the number of hung parliaments increasing to seven. Elections in which no party won a majority of seats in the House of Commons would be at least three times as likely. The Conservatives would need to win an extra 26 seats to make up for their losses resulting from AV. Only three times since the Second World War has the party won a majority of a size that would withstand the likely loss of seats resulting from the introduction of AV. What effect would AV have on the different parties, when combined with boundary changes? The Political Studies Association has published a study by Alan Renwick (2011) on the probable results of the last seven general elections under the proposed system of AV. The Liberal Democrats would have won an average of 26 more seats.

Introduction Dame Rosemary Butler AM Presiding Officer I am delighted to introduce the 30th issue of Europe Matters, our update on the work of the National Assembly for Wales on European issues. It was a privilege and an honour to participate on 16 August at the inauguration of the Welsh Memorial in Langemark, Flanders, to the Welsh soldiers who lost their lives in Flanders Fields during the First World War. Over 1,000 people from Wales and Flanders attended the ceremony, including the three leaders of the opposition parties in the Assembly, Andrew RT Davies AM, Leanne Wood AM and Kirsty Williams AM, and of course the First Minister Carwyn Jones AM. I and my fellow Commissioners, Sandy Mewies AM and Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM, will attend a special commemoration in Flanders next month, at the invite of the President of the Flemish Parliament Jan Peumans. This is another example of the strong co-operation and warmth between our two nations.

There are significant areas of common ground between some SNP policies and the Scottish Greens’ priorities, but also some substantial areas of difference. I recognise that a minority government must work toward some degree of consensus across Parliament, and I hope that our engagement with you will be constructive. Clearly we all face a degree of uncertainty, as we have discussed in other contexts. Until the UK Autumn Budget Statement and the subsequent publication of the draft Scottish Budget, this discussion can only take place in general terms. I hope that the further information you intend to place in the public domain later this month will assist, however you will understand that we must reserve our view on your specific spending plans until we have seen them. Our principal concern is for a strong emphasis on anti-poverty measures in the budget. In this letter I would like to address three broad areas: commitments already made on existing government policy, where more information would be helpful; additional proposals which we believe the government should adopt; and how existing and proposed spending plans fit with taxation policy and the potential of new powers to avoid implementing any further cuts to Scottish public services.

  • May 3Rd 2012 New Directions for Local Councils an Action Plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP
    The Scottish Green Party Manifesto for local elections May 3rd 2012 New Directions for local councils An action plan for Green Councillors in Scotland Message from Patrick Harvie MSP and Alison Johnstone MSP In 2012 local elections come out of the shadows. For the first time in 17 years council elections are being held in their own right. It is a chance for people to cast their votes on local issues, for the parties that present the best policies for their area, and for the candidates who can show real commitment to that area. We believe that Green candidates are worthy of those votes. Greens in local councils have already shown that they can make a difference. Examples are given throughout this manifesto. Our candidates come to you with track-record of hard work at community level, of developing constructive ideas, of listening to people; and of shaking up the status quo. The voting system also means that every Green vote counts. In 2007 the first Green councillors were elected in Scotland, in Glasgow and Edinburgh. We have Green Party members on Aberdeenshire Council as well now. We expect their numbers to swell in this election, with many more councils having a Green voice on them for the first time. But the election is about more than committed candidates. It takes place at a unique time in our politics. At a UK level the Coalition Government, unchallenged by a scarcely credible opposition, continues its slash and burn approach to public services with scant regard to the needs of the country both now and in the future.
