    Pros And Cons Of Andrea Leadsom

    So here we are. After all the runners and the riders, the gossip and the rumours, just two candidates remain in the race to be Prime Minster of our great nation. You have the out and our favourite Theresa May, Home Secretary for the last 6 years and whose political zenith came when she dubbed her own party, ‘the nasty party.’ On the other hand you have Andrea Leadsom, who came to prominence during the EU referendum as a tough debater who is fit to tackle anyone, although some say she is too inexperienced for the top job. It is a David vs Goliath setting.…

    What Are The Benefits Of Leaving The European Union

    Benefits of the UK Staying in the EU Ever since its admittance to the European Union in 1993, the question of whether to stay in the EU remains a highly debated issue in Britain. The European Union is the primary governing organization of Europe, consisting of 28 countries and 500 million people who participate in the world’s economy as a single market. This permits people, goods, services, and capital to move freely around Europe with reduced regulations for the collective benefit of European residents and consumers. Considering the EU’s global presence and Britain 's affluent status, Britain plays a significant role in the EU’s 30% of world GDP. While there are supportable arguments for the UK leaving the UK in the short term, it is in the…

    How Did New Labour Affect British Politics

    British politics is not what it was 20 years ago. Elements of New Labours constitutional reform programme such as The Human Rights Act 1998 have had some impact in affecting the sovereignty of parliament; yet in recent news there have been plans to replace it (Stone 2015). On the other hand, devolution has opened up space for other political parties to be recognized and consequently impacted the voting turnout for what were once the two main political parties (Conservative and Labour) that have governed the UK. Although evidence supports the fact that many elements have had some effects on British politics, it is clear to see that devolution has had the most impact despite minor…

    Populist Rhetoric In Political Research

    The research focused on two ‘dictionaries’: “political populism” - words and phrases such as ‘lobbyists’ and ‘the system’- and “economic populism” - e.g. ’big banks’ and ‘the rich/wealthy’ - with the word ‘elites’ being included in both. The frequency of these words and phrases in campaign speeches was then measured to compare each candidate’s rate of anti-establishment language. Discourse analysis is an interpretivist, qualitative method which focuses on the role language has in shaping the political world. This is a context specific technique with an ability to uncover unidentified features of human behaviour. However, positivists would argue that, due to language being open to interpretation, discourse analysis is unable to provide definite answers and therefore lacks the necessary objectivity.…

    The Intellectual Elite In Richard Nixon's A Time For Choosing

    In 140 characters, politicians essentially have the ability to produce soundbites, tidbits of iconic policy that become a part of said politicians’ political platform, enough characters to convey a message yet not enough characters to allow for the substantiation of said message. This message can take the form of an adversarial rallying cry against the elites in power or a sympathizing voice to share the pain of the voters who have been ignored and rejected by society, both of which messages appealing to supporters’ emotions and eschewing actual facts which are viewed as of secondary importance to the ‘feeling’ being conveyed. In many instances, a reliance on facts and the use of academic jargon makes politics less accessible to the common people who already harbour suspicion against the intelligentsia and resent the educated establishment as elitist and out of touch, preferring to be communicated with in a simple language and have their viewpoints validated, no matter how factually inaccurate their viewpoints may be, simply to feel as though their concerns are being heard, something that isn’t felt under the establishment status quo. Twitter’s reply features also allow politicians to attack their opponent without needing to substantiate their counter argument- they can simply call out their adversaries on the basis of scandals, without needing to be educated regarding the nuances of policy or needing to present a superior comparative. Through Twitter, populist politicians are able to cater to the anti-intellectual culture of their follower’s, framing their positions as emotional/identity-based appeals, clear yet devoid of real intellectual substance, in line with people’s preexisting bias towards the intellectual ‘elites’.…

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of British Car Manufacturing In Britain

    Firstly, The European Union requires fund to run and the countries like Germany, France and the UK pay high fees because of its financial status and the fact that UK is contributing more to the EU budget than they get out of it means UK was being overcharged for membership.

Besides that, the European Commission decided that Europe would open the door to migrants from the Middle East which Britain didn’t want. If we see it from the economic point of view the Brexit is not a right decision.…

A British exit has it’s pros and cons and if Britain 's choses to stay or leave the European Union will have the country divided, it seems as if staying in the European Union would be the smarter choice for many reasons.

    British Empire Decline

    England, the central nation of the United Kingdom and much of the Western World for centuries, is named for a derivative of the Old English name Englaland, which means "land of the Angles". The Angles are an ancient Germanic people whose presence in history is dated as far back as the first century AD. Since then, the small island nation has grown politically, economically, and territorially. While most of this territorial gain has not been permanent, the British empire was at one point the largest in history, spawning the phrase, “the sun never sets on the British Empire.” In large part, this empire was due to a sense of intense patriotic nationalism and belief in British exceptionalism.…

    Effects Of Brexit And The European Union

    David Cameron, the United Kingdom’s current Prime Minister, has announced that he will be stepping down from his position in October, because he was a big supporter of the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union. There’s also speculation that government programs such as retirement pensions and free health care may change or even be a thing of the past. British people will also now need visas to travel throughout the European Union, because in the EU people can move freely from country to country without a visa or other travel requirements. The big question is why would the United Kingdom want to leave the European Union? The EU has many good qualities for countries who are members: State provided medical care for citizens (even when outside your own country), free travel and movement from country to country, and a single market that allows open trade without having to pay tariffs.…
