Social Democratic and Labour Party

During the inter-war years, the Conservative Party was in power 17 years out of a possible 21. British politics normally saw an equal balance of time in government. A key underlying factor for this success was the Conservatives growing ability to understand their potential voters amidst the changes of the inter-war years. The inter-war years were marked by unique developments which could shape both the political system and the electorate who engaged with it. The electorate significantly…

‘Labour government had more successes than failures in domestic affairs in the years 1964 to 1970’. Assess the validity of this view. Firstly, In my personal opinion I do not think there were significantly more successes than failures in terms of domestic policy for the Labour governments between 1964 to 1970. The liberal domestic reforms were led by the competent home secretary, Roy Jenkins, through his backing, the Labour governments passed important liberalising laws; such as the Abortion…

Representative and Senator, Robert M. La Follette Sr., a Republican representing Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional district and later the leader of Progressive party, was an excellent Congressman because he was an effective speaker, helped pass various reform laws and fought political corruption.

The liberal party has been successful over the years, having created many governments and gave Canada more than 10 prime ministers. Although it wasn't always this way as in the first few years of confederation the liberal party has little success with beating…

The Flower Girl. As with many of Vyse’s figures, names were often changed. The autumnal sprays in the basket, may have been the cause of the re-naming the figure Autumn Leaves. This is a quintessential Vyse figure, illustrating the reality of the social background from which the flower selling women sprang. The outdoor life in all weathers doubtlessly gave the women, their ruddy and weathered features, so unlike the pale creamy complexions of their Vyse counterparts. Moreover, Vyse is saying to…

Democracy is the central feature of government in the United States of America. It was an idea set forth by our Founding Fathers as the building block upon which our nation would grow. Democracy is a constant in American government but it was radically changed with the election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1828. Jackson wanted to bring the common people back into the government, taking it away from the elitists that had begun to dominate American politics. What was important to his…

The film Bulworth follows the campaign of a senator that is running for elections in the State of California. As soon as the film starts we are introduced to the high level of corruption that occurs in a political campaign or as politicians refer to it as simply campaign. By the end of the movie it is clear that the film portrays current American politics. The film makes interesting references to how race, gender and class matter when it comes to our political system. However it is also very…

Throughout this paper I would like to reflect on the video and also how it plays a role in my current life. The first question that I would like to reflect on is, “What thoughts went through…
