10 Downing Street 10 DOWNING STREET Private and Confidential. 16th January, 1981 When you came to see the Prime Minister last evening, I think that we all agreed that it was likely to be unhelpful to our Party if differences of view within the Party about our Policy towards the Community were to be ventilated in public, particularly so far as the two particular groupings are concerned. Just after our meeting, I was handed a copy of your letter dated December 1980, and I must say that I do think that that letter is likely to stir rather than to diminish controversy. Perhaps we could have a word about this. Ian Gow Hugh Dykes, Esq., M.P. b.c.c. The Rt. Hon. Michael Jopling, M.P. The Rt. Hon. Lord Thorneycroft, CH. Deputy Otalrman: Patrons.

REFORMING THE EEC BUDGET SO THAT CONTRIBUTIONS MATCH PAYMENTS BACK RESTORING CERTAIN TRADE POWERS AND ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES TO THE NATION STATE - RESTORING TO NATIONAL PARLIAMENTS POWER OVER THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY The founders of the group insist that they are not in favour of UK withdrawal from the Community, although there are a good nvmber of enthusiastic "withdrawers" among the 40-odd Members. However, the objectives above are definitely and completely incompatible with membership and with adherence to thr. Treat!_es, as tae Government has already made clear. The CGE believes that the Community needs a good number of reforms and improvements, but the above demands would, of course, wreck the Community. Please peruse the attached list of Members of the Group, as you may reside in the constituency of one of them, We would be glad if you felt inclined to contact the Member concerned to express- your misgivings, for this Group can only cause disunity within our Party, at the very moment when the Prime Minister has established a new and strong position for the United Kingdom in the Community. More and more we see that the "anti's" (of whichever party) are wrongly blaming the EEC for our own grave economic problems, on which they should urgently beconcentrating rather than using the 'Common Market' as the scapegoat for all that is wrong.

    Appendix: \Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in the British Parliament" August 8, 2017 Appendix Table of Contents • Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology • Appendix B: MP Membership in Ideological Groups • Appendix C: Rebellion on Different Types of Divisions • Appendix D: Models of Rebellion on Government Sponsored Bills Only • Appendix E: Differences in Labour Party Rebellion Following Leadership Change • Appendix F: List of Party Switchers • Appendix G: Discussion of Empirical Model Appendix A: Wordscores Estimation of Ideology This Appendix describes our method for ideologically scaling British MPs using their speeches on the welfare state, which were originally produced for a separate study on welfare reform (O'Grady, 2017). We cover (i) data collection, (ii) estimation, (iii) raw results, and (iv) validity checks. The resulting scales turn out to be highly valid, and provide an excellent guide to MPs' ideologies using data that is completely separate to the voting data that forms the bulk of the evidence in our paper. A1: Collection of Speech Data Speeches come from an original collection of every speech made about issues related to welfare in the House of Commons from 1987-2007, covering the period over which the Labour party moved 1 to the center under Tony Blair, adopted and enacted policies of welfare reform, and won office at the expense of the Conservatives. Restricting the speeches to a single issue area is useful for estimating ideologies because with multiple topics there is a danger of conflating genuine extremism (a tendency to speak in extreme ways) with a tendency or requirement to talk a lot about topics that are relatively extreme to begin with (Lauderdale and Herzog, 2016).
