  • Evolving and Adapting in Line with People's Expectations and Needs
    Make Votes Matter www.makevotesmatter.org.uk Contact: Joe Sousek Chris Skidmore MP E: [email protected] Minister for the Constitution T: 07402 965566 Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Copied to: Theresa May Prime Minister 10th October 2016 If our Constitution is to continue “evolving and adapting in line with people’s expectations and needs” the case for Proportional Representation must be given full and fair consideration Dear Mr Skidmore, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Constitution. Now more than ever, stewardship of the UK’s constitution and democratic processes is a crucial role. We therefore welcome your commitment to “see our democracy grow in strength and that everyone can have their ​ voice heard”1, and we wish you every success in the job. ​ It is difficult, however, to see how our democracy can grow in strength or how everyone can have their voice heard without addressing the failures of the UK’s primary democratic process: the election of MPs to the House of Commons through our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. In May 2015, one quarter (24.4%) of votes went to the candidates and manifestos of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats or UK Independence Party. But FPTP delivered a parliament in which these parties share ten seats (1.5% of 650 Commons seats). This cannot be said to be a parliament in which ​ ​ “everyone can have their voice heard”. On the contrary, it is a parliament from which the voices of 7.5 million voters are all but excluded. If our democracy is to grow in strength, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that every vote carries equal weight.

  • Is Coronavirus Boris Johnson's Get out of Jail Card on Brexit?
    LSE Brexit: Is coronavirus Boris Johnson’s get out of jail card on Brexit? Page 1 of 4 Is coronavirus Boris Johnson’s get out of jail card on Brexit? Economic activity worldwide has slowed almost to a stop. Claims that non-EU countries were queuing up to sign advantageous trade deals with Britain now ring hollow, as governments everywhere have imposed draconian controls on the movement of people and goods. So is coronavirus Boris Johnson’s get out of jail card on Brexit, asks Denis MacShane? Amid this economic misery, one plank of the new government’s vision for the future remained unchanged. As Michael Barnier, and then the UK’s Brexit negotiator, David Frost, fell ill with Covid-19, followed in due course by the Prime Minister, ministers in the Commons and No 10 briefings insisted there could be no reconsideration of forging ahead with Brexit along very hard lines. Ben Habib, a property developer, who stood for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party in the 2019 European Parliament election wrote an article for the Daily Telegraph four days before the UK lockdown. He argued that “Far from requiring delay, coronavirus strengthens our hand in post-Brexit talks.” But that was countered an article in the Sunday Times read by most business leaders and every Tory MP. It was written by Nick du Bois, a Tory MP 2010-2015, a keen supporter of Brexit and popular in the Conservative Party. He served as Dominic Raab’s chief of staff at the Department of Exiting the European Union. He is as loyal an anti- European Tory as can be found but writing in the Sunday Times on 5 April, du Bois argued: “It would be incomprehensible to many members of the public if Johnson’s government devoted time and energy on these talks until the pandemic was under control.” The response was swift.

    The European Elections of May 2019 Electoral systems and outcomes STUDY EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Kai Friederike Oelbermann and Friedrich Pukelsheim PE 652.037 – July 2020 EN The European Elections of May 2019 Electoral systems and outcomes This EPRS study provides an overview of the electoral systems and outcomes in the May 2019 elections to the European Parliament. It analyses the procedural details of how parties and candidates register their participation, how votes are cast, how valid votes are converted into seats, and how seats are assigned to candidates. For each Member State the paper describes the ballot structure and vote pattern used, the apportionment of seats among the Member State’s domestic parties, and the assignment of the seats of a party to its candidates. It highlights aspects that are common to all Member States and captures peculiarities that are specific to some domestic provisions.

    Gawain Towler Director of Communications, Brexit Party January 2019 – December 2019 Press Officer/Director of Communications, UK Independence Party June 2004 – February 2018 10 August 2020 UKIP, 2004 – 2016 UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): Just thinking back to the first stage of your UKIP career: when would you say that politicians and the media started to take the idea of a referendum on membership seriously, and why? Gawain Towler (GT): I think that there was a momentary flash in the pan over Maastricht. Obviously, the Lib Dems had their policy of ‘We support a referendum until we’re going to have one.’ There were also a few Tory backbenchers and a couple of Labour backbenchers who were minded in that direction, but it was not serious. I suppose going backwards; Jimmy Goldsmith scared the pants out of everybody, forcing the Government to offer a referendum in the likelihood of us joining the Euro, and thus effectively scuppering our entry into the Euro. Period. So, the existential threat of a referendum was taken seriously significantly earlier, but that had gone away. As long as nobody in Government seriously considered the Euro. And Gordon Brown’s five tests were just essentially, ‘I’m going to make up what they are at the time, to ensure this doesn’t Page 1/29 happen, because we can’t afford to leave or have a referendum.’ So, I would say a referendum only really started being taken seriously again when Cameron three-line whipped against one. Cameron put a three-line whip against a Private Members Bill for a referendum.

  • Appendices Appendix A: Types of Democracies
    APPENDICES APPENDIX A: TYPES OF DEMOCRaCIES Advocacy Democracy Robert Dahl (1970: 149) once suggested that every elected official should have a citizens’ advisory council, members of which would be chosen by lot. A similar proposal for citizens’ advisory commissions has been spelled out in more detail (Dalton, Bürklin, Drummond 2001, Dalton, Scarrow, Cain 2003: 10–11) in order to forge advocacy democracy, which would broaden what now exists at the local level when citizens are notified of hearings regarding housing developments in their neighborhoods and then attend to give their views before planning commissions. Anticipatory Democracy As coined by Alvin Toffler inFuture Shock (1970), the idea is for policy-making based on credible predictions that are accepted by the public (cf. Bezold 1978). The public should accept expert forecasts while voting, but there is no procedural innovation involved beyond having more public education and more public input. Cellular Democracy Neighborhood councils were set up in American cit- ies during the 1970s so that small communities in big cities could deter- mine policies for each part of town. With that concept in mind, the idea arose to divide a country into districts of about 500 persons, and then ten to twenty districts would form a level 2 council and so forth up to the state level (Foldvary 2002). Such a scheme was favored by Thomas Jefferson, who proposed having small wards as the ideal democratic unit (cf. Young 1996). Some proponents believe that cellular democracy could be the foundation for global democracy. © The Author(s) 2019 317 M.
