  • Second-Order Success, First-Order Gains and the European Electoral Cycle
    Prepared for the 26th ECPR Summer School on Political Parties. The University of Nottingham (UK), School of Politics and International Relations, 12 September - 23 September, 2016. This is a preliminary draft that will be revised. Comments welcome. A Springboard to the Domestic Arena? Second-Order Success, First-Order Gains and the European Electoral Cycle Julia Schulte-Cloos 21 August 2016 [Word Count: 9250] Abstract European Parliament (EP) elections offer a distinct incentive structure to voters as there is no government formation at stake. Triggering protest and non-strategical votes, small and radical parties enjoy structural advantages in the supranational contest. While these patterns are well established in the literature, it remains puz- zling how success in the second-order arena impinges on the parties’ first-order trajectories. We lack a systematic understanding of the implications that the sec- ondary elections themselves have on party competition within the domestic arena. This paper posits that EP elections serve as a springboard for success in the national arena. The institution of the EP elections along with the different voting calculi therein has unanticipated consequences for domestic party competition. Drawing on a novel database encompassing the electoral results of all EU member states in national and EP elections since 1979, the temporal distance between these elections, and their position within the respective electoral cycles, I show that particularly populist radical right parties benefit from a spillover of European success to the na- tional arena. This effect is especially pronounced if the temporal distance between the national and the European election is close. The results suggest that the insti- tution of EP elections not only provides these parties with a permeable forum for politicising Europe and their antagonism towards further integration, but that the European campaign also bestows salience upon their nationalistic policy demands.

  • Decision of the Election Committee on a Due Impartiality Complaint from the Alba Party in Relation to the BBC’S Coverage of the Scottish Parliamentary Election
    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint from the Alba Party in relation to the BBC’s coverage of the Scottish Parliamentary Election Publication date: 28 April 2021 Contents Section 1. Introduction and summary 1 2. Background 4 3. The Committee’s Decision 16 Annex A1. Statutory Framework and Sections Five and Six of the Broadcasting Code 29 Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint from the Alba Party in relation to the BBC’s coverage of the Scottish Parliamentary Election 1. Introduction and summary 1.1 Ofcom is the UK’s independent broadcast regulator. As a post-broadcast regulator, we assess content once it has been broadcast. 1.2 During an election period, Ofcom establishes an Election Committee 1 which has delegated authority from the Ofcom Board to consider due impartiality complaints in respect of election-related programmes where the complaint, if upheld, might require redress before the election. 1.3 The Election Committee 2 has considered a complaint from the Alba Party (“the Complainant”) about the BBC’s coverage of it so far during the run-up to the Scottish Parliamentary elections due to take place on 6 May 2021 (“the Complaint”). This included coverage of the Alba Party in relation to: a) Election Scotland 2021: the Leaders' Debate, broadcast on BBC One Scotland and the BBC News Channel on 30 March 2021 at 7.50pm ("the Leaders' Debate"); and b) the BBC's news coverage and news bulletins, across its radio and television services, during the election period for the Scottish Parliamentary elections.

  • A TUSC Timeline
    ■ A TUSC timeline 2009 ■ Early in 2009 the No2EU:Yes to Democracy coalition is established to stand candidates in the 4 June European parliament elections on a platform of opposition to the EU’s neo- liberal agenda. The coalition involves the RMT – with general secretary Bob Crow heading the candidates’ list in London – the Socialist Party, the Communist Party of Britain (CPB), Scottish Solidarity, and others, including convenors and leading activists from the Visteon plant closures and Lindsey oil refinery construction workers’ disputes, prominent industrial struggles of that year. ■ No2EU stands candidates for all eleven regional lists and polls 153,236 votes. With the RMT’s formal backing this was the first time a trade union had supported a national electoral challenge to Labour since the formation of the Labour Representation Committee in 1900. The coalition participants continue to meet in the summer to discuss how the successful model of co-operation between different forces could be continued and a common platform of core policies agreed for the general election due in 2010. ■ Resulting from a resolution at the RMT annual general meeting (AGM) a conference to discuss working class political representation is hosted by the union on 7 November, at which it is announced that a federally-organised coalition has been agreed which will stand candidates in the coming general election (with the name still to be finalised). Speakers at the conference include Bob Crow, Joe Higgins (Socialist Party Ireland MEP), Dave Nellist, FBU general secretary Matt Wrack and… Jeremy Corbyn! On the issue of working class political representation the then backbench Labour MP says “there has always been a debate, in or out of the Labour Party, but what we can agree on is the need to stand up against war and poverty”.
