  • 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.

    Finding of the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust Newsnight, BBC Two, 2 November 2012 Finding of 14 December 2012 Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers Finding of the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust Contents Summary 1 ESC Finding 3 Appendix 1: The MacQuarrie Report 10 Appendix 2: Report by the BBC Executive 25 Appendix 3: The Editorial Guidelines 31 Finding of 14 December 2012 Finding of the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust Summary On 2 November 2012, Newsnight broadcast a report into child sexual abuse in North Wales care homes in the 1970s and 1980s (the “Newsnight Report”). In the Newsnight Report, it was claimed that two victims had been abused by “a leading Conservative politician from the Thatcher years”. The alleged perpetrator was not identified. By the time the Newsnight Report was broadcast, there had been 12 hours of speculation online regarding the identity of the alleged perpetrator. We now know that the man anonymously alleged to be the perpetrator in the Newsnight Report was Lord McAlpine. The following week, on 9 November 2012, Newsnight broadcast their own apology and also included a clip of an interview that had been recorded with the abuse victim, Mr Messham, earlier that day, in which he offered his “humble apologies to Lord McAlpine” for wrongly identifying him as the abuser. The then Director-General of the Executive, George Entwistle, commissioned a report by Ken MacQuarrie, Director Scotland, into what had happened (the “MacQuarrie Report”) (see Appendix

    Holders of Ministerial Office in the Conservative Governments 1979-1997 Parliamentary Information List Standard Note: SN/PC/04657 Last updated: 11 March 2008 Author: Department of Information Services All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this data. Nevertheless the complexity of Ministerial appointments, changes in the machinery of government and the very large number of Ministerial changes between 1979 and 1997 mean that there may be some omissions from this list. Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 1997 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 2 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given. The Parliamentary Information List series covers various topics relating to Parliament; they include Bills, Committees, Constitution, Debates, Divisions, The House of Commons, Parliament and procedure. Also available: Research papers – impartial briefings on major bills and other topics of public and parliamentary concern, available as printed documents and on the Intranet and Internet. Standard notes – a selection of less formal briefings, often produced in response to frequently asked questions, are accessible via the Internet. Guides to Parliament – The House of Commons Information Office answers enquiries on the work, history and membership of the House of Commons. It also produces a range of publications about the House which are available for free in hard copy on request Education web site – a web site for children and schools with information and activities about Parliament.
