In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7Th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament Elections
    European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament elections Dr Philip Lynch ([email protected]) & Dr Richard Whitaker ([email protected]) University of Leicester UKIP and the 2014 European Elections Philip Lynch ( [email protected], @drphiliplynch ) and Richard Whitaker ( [email protected], @rickwhitaker ) Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester UKIP go into the 2014 European elections in a far stronger position than they did five years earlier. The crucial differences are first, that UKIP have not experienced the decline in support in general election polling that they normally do after a European election. On the contrary, they are now consistently placed in third position in polls of general election vote intentions. Second, their ratings in polls of European election vote intention are some ten points higher on average than they were in the run up to the 2009 contest for seats in the European Parliament (EP). Third, they have more than double the number of members and a much better, even if still small base in local councils having secured 147 seats in the 2013 local elections. Fourth, while they have benefitted in the past from Conservative supporters lending UKIP their vote, they are in an even better position to do so this time around given that the Tories are now in government. On top of that, if UKIP’s campaign to win even more support from working class voters is successful, they will make headway in areas where Labour are traditionally strong. The presence of the Liberal Democrats in government alongside the collapse of the BNP add to the auspicious conditions for UKIP in 2014.

  • 1 Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties: A Framework for Analysis Oliver Daddow and Isabelle Hertner Abstract The term ‘toxic masculinity’ was coined in the 1990s by sociologists and psychologists. It has since been appropriated by scholars and commentators interested in gendered behaviours and outcomes in politics. However, despite the attention belatedly being paid to masculinities as part of that research, our appreciation of, specifically, toxic masculinity’s part in shaping political practices remains underdeveloped. This article proposes a move in this direction by designing a conceptual framework for exploring toxic masculinity inside political parties. We adapt findings from the original toxic masculinity literature to generate a series of indicators of toxic masculinity spanning the policy and discursive aspects of party political action. We then test the framework using a paired comparison of two parties of the populist right where we might expect to see relatively high levels of toxic masculinity: the Alternative for Germany and the UK Independence Party. Our empirical findings give us confidence that drawing on the concept of toxic masculinity can provide us with novel insights into the interplay between masculinity and political party cultures. We also hope that it will inspire a significant body of new research into toxic masculinity in political parties from across the party spectrum as well as globally. Keywords toxic masculinity; gender; AfD; Ukip; Nigel Farage 1 Interpreting Toxic Masculinity in Political Parties: A Framework for Analysis 1. Introduction In politics as in society, toxic masculinity – known in Mandarin as ‘straight male cancer’ (Kesvani, 2018) – has become an important focus for public discussion around, as well as the theoretical and applied research into, gender-based violence, misogyny and the mistreatment of women in public life.

  • Your Guide to Eu Elections
    YOUR GUIDE TO EU ELECTIONS PB 1 How do the European elections work? Owing to the failure of the UK and the EU to reach a Brexit deal, the UK has been granted an extension to the Article 50 process for leaving the EU until 31 October 2019. This means, as David Lidington confirmed on 7 May, that because no agreement has yet been reached, European elections will be held on 23 May 2019. Vuelio’s Guide explains how these will work. Where will MEPs be elected? The UK is divided into twelve European parliamentary constituencies, each of which elects a certain number of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). These are as follows: y East Midlands – 5 MEPs y East of England – 7 MEPs y London – 8 MEPs y North East – 3 MEPs y North West – 8 MEPs y Northern Ireland – 3 MEPs y Scotland – 6 MEPs y South East – 10 MEPs y South West – 6 MEPs (this region includes Gibraltar) y Wales – 4 MEPs y West Midlands – 7 MEPs y Yorkshire & the Humber – 6 MEPs How are MEPs elected? All UK citizens, as well as Commonwealth citizens living in the UK, are entitled to vote. EU citizens living in the UK can choose between voting here or in the country they are a citizen of. All but one constituency is elected using the ‘D’Hondt’ method, a type of proportional representation. Each party puts forward a list of candidates ranked with their preferred candidate at the top and the remaining candidates in descending order. Therefore, electors can only vote for the party and not for individual candidates.
