  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

  • Archives) INFORMED SOURCES E-Preview December 2018
    Informed Sources e-preview by Roger Ford (view all archives) INFORMED SOURCES e-Preview December 2018 INFORMED SOURCES e-Preview December 2018 Some old favourites return this month including an update on the spread of zombie franchises and a farewell to the Traffic Management System (TMS) procurement which has kept us diverted for the last nine years. Steventon Bridge highlights APCO challenge Explosion of the Zombie franchises. TMS boondoggle ends with a whimper Informed Updates However, we start with the practical implications of the Department for Transport’s cunning plan to cut costs by not providing clearances for electrification at bridges and tunnels. Instead, you buy bi-mode trains, which can drop the pantograph and run through tunnels and other height restrictions under diesel power. This would be achieved, quite painlessly, with the use of Automatic Power Change Over (APCO). Back in November 2017 I revealed that the first opportunity to test this concept would be on the Great Western Main Line at Steventon High Street Bridge west of Didcot. The problem is not the clearance under the bridge itself, where Special Reduced Clearance has been used. However, approaching the bridge from the West, the adjacent Stocks Lane level crossing requires the contact wire to be at maximum height, before reducing to the minimum height for the bridge in about a quarter of a mile. As the contact wire height falls, the wire is pushing the pantograph head down and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which is not good for either the catenary or the pan’.
