Tory Squabbles Case Study

In recent years, it has been increasingly apparent that European Parliament election turnout is on the decline, with just 35.6% of British citizens casting their vote in 2014. This is remarkably low, especially when viewed alongside other national decisions such as the referendum for Britain to leave the European Union, which received a staggering 72.2% turnout. However, this decline was not

With diminishing control of what happens in Britain, the British people decided it was best to vacate the union. The British were dealing with the laws given by the European members who were not living and experiencing the country themselves. To provide an example of a ghastly law given to the British people, they, as part of the European Union, were only allowed to catch 20% of the fish swimming in British territorial waters. What this meant was that tens of thousands of jobs were lost and they were not able to use one of the most significant resources given to them, as Britain is surrounded by ocean. Nigel Farage, Leader of the UK Independence Party, says that his fellow Englishmen, “effectively gave away the ability to look after one of our greatest resources to a bureaucracy based in Brussels.” Because of the way the government was set up, “Not only could the voters not change anything, but the institutes themselves are incapable of reform.” With an already maimed government, the European Union was creating more problems than it was solving. The British people had enough of giving up their rights as British citizens so the European Commission could tell them how to live. Therefore, with problems like those arising from the Union and with no hope to resolve them, Britain filed for secession and pulled out of the union

On June 23rd,2016 the results of the referendum called by David Cameron, changed the political landscape of England. David Cameron, former Prime Minister led the campaign to remain during the referendum, however he was unsuccessful and an incumbent Prime Minister. Thus he had to resign, ‘The Prime Minister resigned on Friday 24th June’. Theresa May

Britain’s membership with the EU has meant vital decisions affecting Britain being made away from parliament. For example in the case of the Common Agricultural Policy in 1997, parliament was not involved. Pressure groups have also meant that the executive has gained more power and dominance as they have often received advice from pressure groups resulting in increasing popularity within the executive. Referendums have also undermined the sovereignty of parliament. Referendums in the 1970s were first approved by parliament in the first instance via statue law, but the final decision was effectively taken out of its hands.

Britain was on the path to the referendum, or popular vote, because Cameron wanted to settle challenges from the UK Independence party and the anti-EU wing of his Conservative Party. His ultimate goal was to make the Tories (supporters of the Conservative Party) better at governing.

The Tories were compiled disgruntled young Irishmen whose “ancient hatred for the English coupled with the spectacle of defeat, despair and degradation was sufficient reason to continue resistance”. They were led by dispossessed noblemen and Irish officers. They mostly attacked livestock but were not against killing an Englishman once in a while. The English’s punishment for Tories was strict and after a band of Tories killed two Protestants in Lackagh, 4 Irishmen were hanged for not preventing the murder and others, including 2 priests and an 80 year old woman were sent to Barbados. Since the Irish usually just took livestock though, the English would just tax the town closest to where the livestock was taken. Frequently, the town could not pay this and this would cause the government to tax the surrounding areas. This in turn would cause many more men to become Tories due the economic strife being inflicted on them by the English. It got so bad in some areas that Catholic swordsmen were allowed to stay in some

The biggest issue or in another word , the most debated issue in the United Kingdom as for today is the repelling of the Human Rights Act , an idea which has been brought on by the Tory government . This is mainly because the Tory government is in the opinion that the Human Rights Act 1998 had allowed the judiciary to undermine the parliament which they plan to replace it with the British Bill of Rights .

While there are many instances and situations that seem unexpected, not everything is due to a predetermined pathway. Sometimes there are those uncanny experiences where one will believe a miracle or major coincidence has happened due to destiny. Except, life occurrences are not bound to only fate or consequences of someone’s actions. Each life experience one faces is a concoction of the two determinants but with varying levels of impact. Fate does play a role but in most situations, the individual plays a bigger portion in one’s future based on the decisions one makes. For instance, since Tory decided to quit her job, she did not end up killing her co-workers and dying from lethal injection. Therefore, Tory’s destiny could have consisted of two options, but it was ultimately her decision that decided the outcome.

I found your post very well put and helpful. I agree with your view that democratic ideology expanded political participation. The Tories and the Whigs faded out and allowed for democratic ideology to expand. The expansion of democracy allowed for not only new ideas but also a more practical way to govern. Personally, I found it interesting that the democratic's believed that, "state government was necessary only for coordination among communites" (Faragher, 168). Overall, the Tories, Whigs, and democratic's allowed for common people to expand their political participation. This allowed for larger elections and more diverse legislatures (Faragher, 167). In conclusion, I think that the Tories and the Whigs both played key roles in developing

This is a key time in politics as its election year, not only election year but it was the year labour dethroned the Tories 18 year reign. Tony Blair took charge of the party and became prime minister. During the 18 years of the Tories being in power Margret Thatcher was a big talking point and caused many controversies with her in power, she was dubbed ‘The Iron Lady.’ One of the major controversies was the poll tax. This caused uproar between the countries because it was seen as unfair towards the working class people. This caused Riots and disharmony between the people of Britain.

Here recently I have had the pleasure of listening to your speech at the convention, and I completely agree with you about your decisions, but also disagree. Some reasons why I agree is because fighting to get peace may be the easiest way earn your freedom and show how much you care for your country. Then again it could just cause a bigger conflict between Britain. I agree with your decisions because one way or another you have to show who you’re going to stand up for! Who you’re going to be fighting for and the kind of leader you are. An example of what you said yesterday is “If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight!”

With the introduction of controversial austerity policies, mass protest or perhaps even a legitimation crisis (Habermas, 1976) have been suggested as likely outcomes. David Bailey (2014) notes that whilst post global financial crisis there has been a noticeable growth in the number of political protests, large segments of the UK Population have accepted austerity with generally little vocalized dissent. Marion Fourcade (2013) reinforces this notion, noting that that austerity in Eurozone countries is distinct due to the fact the it seems to have “the backing, if not active encouragement, of a large segment of their populations” (Fourcade, 2013 p.625). This is intriguing as both the ‘Winter of Discontent’ (Hay, 1996) and the poll tax incidents

Adam Walker, with his hands stuffed in his pockets, announces that the British National Party (BNP) is the ‘last line of defence and only hope’ for the people of Great Britain, in the distant hope that they will believe his party can reinforce the unification of their country. Whilst his vaguely rousing voice resonates through the laptops of BNPTV viewers, a question is sprung to mind – is the BNP unifying, dividing or both, the nation we call home?

Britain’s membership of the European Union (EU) has produced a well-documented history of aloofness, vetoes, opt-outs, referenda as well as intensely contested domestic political debates. (Pilkington & Watts 2005; Gowland & Turner 2000; Wall 2008) It has been described as the ‘awkward partner’ (George, 1998) and a ‘stranger in Europe’ (Wall, 2008) and has long been cautious of European integration. It is widely anxious about threats to national sovereignty and identity, and its relationship with the EU has become a political football between parties who exhibit signs of pro-European attitudes. (Wall, 2008) As Andrew Marr (2001, 1) points out, when Britain’s are talking about Europe they are talking about “Britain’s future as a self governing state, Britain’s economy, Britain’s status as a European power, Britain’s currency and even Britain’s survivability.” Above all else, Britain sees itself as an exceptional power in Europe but not ‘of Europe.’ (Churchill 1930)

Britain withdrawing the European Union has always been an ongoing discussion, one of the many goals pursued by some British political parties, along with groups of people and individuals. Leaving the European Union is a right that every country that is part of the Treaty on the European Union has (Article 50 of the treaty), and this is what the Conservative political parties that proposed the referendum are triggering to impulse a faster withdraw from the EU; specially the new prime minister Theresa May. There had been another referendum in 1975, but it resulted in
