  • Second-Order Success, First-Order Gains and the European Electoral Cycle

    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.

    And the Public Realm Democracy

    Democracy Democracy and the Public Realm and the Public Realm Public Democracy must become the lifeblood of progressive politics. Social equality is only likely to be secured and sustained within an increasingly democratised society.

New Labour has carried out some structural reforms to the UK constitution, but the cultural leap to a faith in people – to allow them to become the collective controllers of their own destiny – has been resisted.

    Women in Leadership a Development Programme for Women Trade Unionists in Yorkshire and the Humber Women in Leadership

    Women in Leadership A development programme for women trade unionists in Yorkshire and the Humber Women in Leadership To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the TUC the Yorkshire and the Humber TUC is launching a Women in Leadership course that will run throughout 2018-9 and include visits to both the UK and Brussels Parliaments. From public speaking and leadership styles to communication skills and workshops on women’s rights, this course will involve five days of classroom learning as well as some online homework. The group will also have the opportunity to meet and network with influential women trade union leaders and decision-makers, as well as get to know like-minded women from different unions. Women have always played a key role in the trade union movement. Some of our biggest advances to workers’ rights have been led by strong women trade unionists. Women also make up the majority of our membership. But while the fabric of our movement is certainly more diverse, only a third of our union leaders are women. There is still an shameful 18% gap in pay between men and women doing the exact same job, and more than half of women continue to experience sexual harassment and discrimination at work. This course will help empower more women trade unionists to step into leadership roles and continue to create positive changes in their workplaces, their union and in society. How to apply If you are an aspiring women leader, or know someone ready to take the lead, please email [email protected] to receive more information.
