The Politics The Agreement between the UK and the USA for Co-operation in the Uses of Atomic of Trident Energy for Mutual Defence Purposes, also known as the Mutual Defence Agreement (MDA), was signed in 1958. It allows the United States and the UK to exchange nuclear materials, technology and information. After many years, on 6 Jeremy Corbyn MP November 2014, the UK Parliament finally Julian Lewis MP debated the Agreement, although not its renewal, which fell due at the end of 2014. Few Members of Parliament attended this landmark debate, which revealed some of the politics of Trident nuclear weapons. The debate was secured by Jeremy Corbyn and Julian Lewis, who are on opposite sides of the discussion about upgrading Trident nuclear missiles for another generation. *** Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North) (Labour): … Why do we have to debate something as fundamental as a mutual defence agreement with the United States in time allocated by the Backbench Business Committee? The answer is that Governments of all hues – this applies to my party, as well as the coalition Government and previous Conservative Governments – have been reluctant to have parliamentary debates on this subject … It is interesting that parliamentary scrutiny of the mutual defence agreement and nuclear weapons has been in short supply going back to the end of the second world war.

  • Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement

    Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement

    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME WIND FARM PLANNING ANNOUNCEMENT Conservative Members of Parliament in Northamptonshire and the Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Corby & East Northamptonshire, Thomas Pursglove, have today welcomed the changes to planning law which will ensure local residents affected by wind farm proposals will actually have a proper say in whether wind turbines are sited in or near their communities. New planning guidance supporting the planning framework from DCLG will make clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protections and the planning concerns of local communities. It will also give greater weight to landscape and visual impact concerns. In welcoming the announcement Chris Heaton-Harris MP (Daventry), said: “If you have been involved in any local campaign to fight an inappropriately sited onshore wind farm, you will know that on every occasion local opinion is trumped at the planning appeal by national energy policy/targets. The changes announced mean that this is reversed and more weight has to be given to local opinion. From what I can gather, subsidies will also be reviewed on an annual basis. This is superb news for those fighting unwanted wind turbines across Daventry and across the whole of England. I truly believe that this announcement brings about the beginning of the end of new onshore wind turbines across England. It is extraordinarily excellent news!” Peter Bone MP (Wellingborough), said: “Conservative ministers are to be congratulated for pushing through a reform to planning regulations which will mean that when local councils turn down wind farm proposals, they will not be overturned on appeal.

The sessions facilitated a direct exchange with other PAC Chairs, Members, and Clerks on a range of technical issues, such as mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of recommendations and the use of media and technology in reaching out to the public. Members and Clerks of the Welsh and Bermudian PACs identified common challenges faced by parliaments and committees in small legislatures, and shared their approaches to managing, for example, parliamentarians’ limited time and resources. The eight delegates remained highly engaged in all discussions with their counterparts in Westminster and Cardiff, including the UK PAC Vice Chair Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP, and Welsh PAC Chair Nick Ramsay AM. Following the conclusion of the programme, delegates suggested specific changes they would undertake upon their return to Bermuda.

    The House of Commons, EU Affairs and the Media: a Lot of Press, but Rather Biased Coverage

    Research Notes on Parliamentary Democracy 4/2016 The House of Commons, EU affairs and the media: a lot of press, but rather biased coverage Katrin Auel Series Editors: Katrin Auel and Resul Umit This research note series is published by the PADEMIA: Parliamentary Democracy in Europe. It is funded by the European Commission. The House of Commons, EU affairs and the media: a lot of press, but rather biased coverage Katrin Auel British discourses on democracy in the EU often emphasise the importance of the House of Commons when it comes to legitimising EU politics. Yet any added value by Parliament in terms of democratic legitimacy in EU politics depends crucially on the public’s awareness of its engagement in EU affairs. Parliamentary activities that no one takes note of contribute little to democratic legitimacy. Against this background, PADEMIA member Katrin Auel investigates how the British press cover the House of Commons in EU affairs and shows that while the press pay comparatively much attention to Parliament, they also paint a very biased picture of EU affairs in the Commons. To quote Abraham Lincoln’s famous As our comparative research shows, the UK Gettysburg Address, democratic legitimacy is Parliament gets a lot of press in EU affairs. In not fulfilled by ‘government by and for the fact, the House of Commons is - together people’ alone. In addition, ‘government of the with the German Bundestag - the parliament people’ requires that citizens recognise a with the best newspaper coverage in the political system as their own. When it comes sample. to the European Union (EU), national parliaments such as the House of Commons Figure 1.

    Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in British Parliament∗

    Ideology, Grandstanding, and Strategic Party Disloyalty in British Parliament∗ Jonathan B. Slapiny Justin H. Kirklandz Joseph A. Lazzarox [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Patrick A. Leslie{ Tom O'Gradyk [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Strong party discipline is a core feature of Westminster parliamentary systems. Parties typically compel Members of Parliament (MPs) to support the party position regardless of MPs' indi- vidual preferences. Rebellion, however, does occur. Using an original dataset of MP votes and speeches in the British House of Commons from 1992 to 2015, coupled with new estimations of MPs' ideological positions within their party, we find evidence that MPs use rebellion to strategi- cally differentiate themselves from their party. The strategy MPs employ is contingent upon an interaction of ideological extremity with party control of government. Extremists are loyal when their party is in the opposition, but these same extremists become more likely to rebel when their party controls government. Additionally, they emphasize their rebellion through speeches. Existing models of rebellion and party discipline do not account for government agenda control and do not explain these patterns.
