United Kingdom Independence Party

far-right parties in France and the United Kingdom. Immigration reform, Euroscepticism, long-term leadership, and dramatic recent European Parliamentary election success are the most significant ties between the two, and foreign relations, success in local elections, election structure, and historical background being the most significant differences. Who their supporters are and what the parties are pushing link the two as well, however that remains so in most parties that consider themselves far-right. All of these factors that compare the similarities and differences in the two parties are the reasons why they have been successful, each in their own way but in recent…

the varying ways of governing present in the world. In this paper, I will compare England and Germany according to Lijphart’s models of majoritarian and consensus democracies. In Lijphart’s model, there are two main ideas in which these two systems differ: how easy it is for a single party to take control of the government and how much a party can change policy once they have control of the government. The first includes ideas such as party affiliations of the cabinet, executive-legislative…

The entering of the United States led invasion was a decision that ultimately led to the embarrassment of the party and leader Tony Blair. If the party were only an election machine it would not take defiant stances on issues that over time could hurt the party such as Iraq did. During the course of the Iraq invasion one can see the support was continuing to fall. If New Labour were an election machine it would not have involved itself in an issue that had major repercussions. This instead shows…

campaign for the United States Presidency, President-Elect Donald J. Trump has made a clear stance against immigration. One of his longtime promises that he has made is that America will “Begin working on an impenetrable physical wall on the southern border, on day one. [And] Mexico will pay for the wall” (). Even an interview done with CNN and Trump has him saying that "When Mexico sends its people, they 're not sending their best," he said. "They 're sending people that have lots of…

New Zealand did not lose the main essence of the Westminster model of government. The essence in this case is the structure of the Westminster model of government, which has barely changed. Hence, the changes made to the Westminster model of government in New Zealand may prove to be minimal on a larger scale. However, they are still changes that are highly relevant, individual and authentic to New Zealand’s very diverse society. Hence, it is fair to conclude that although there has been a slight…

Besides the monetary amount the United Kingdom will save from no longer paying out membership fees and immigration benefits, leaving the European Union would allow for the UK to set up favorable independent trade negotiations with other nations. As an independent state, Britain would gain influence over the rest of the world by gaining back their independent “seat” on international affairs discussions that the EU had taken away. According to the Conservative Party’s Chair of The Economic Affairs…

I. Introduction On June 24, 2016, the citizens of the United Kingdom voted in favor for their departure from the European Union. For the past forty years, the United Kingdom has been a member of this peaceful union which is comprised of twenty-seven other European countries. The union enacts Article 50, a law that allows these countries to exit the union at will. In the events that have followed the in-favor vote to depart from the EU, little action has taken place. The nations that form the…

example, 70 years have passed since united British residence against the opposing threat of NAZI Germany. Another possible factor would be the end of Britain as the world largest Empire, in which Scotland played somewhat of a centered role. Alternatively, as some have suggested the establishment of the European Union has caused a strengthening of inner EU ties and therefore does not leave Scotland as a closely linked ally of just…

The Irish Civil War Just as the Irish war of independence had ended. A new conflict was on the horizon, The Irish Civil War. A war between two parties where over 2000 lives where lost, but why did the civil war start? Who fought, and how did it all end? It all started as a follow-up to the Irish war of independence. After the war, Great Britain and Ireland signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The treaty concluded the war and turned Ireland into a free state. It also gave Northern Ireland an…

referendum vote that took place on the 23rd of March 2016 where the public voted that the United Kingdom was to exit the European Union. The leave vote won with 51.9% of the vote .
