of its social structure by satirizing religion, society and social order by showing his hypocrisy. Voltaire was a prominent figure during the enlightenment era. Although he was not a typical enlightenment writer at his time because he wrote about issues including social freedom, religious inequality and civil liberty that other philosophers did not at the time. Voltaire's outspoken opinions made him very unpopular and landed him in jail but that did not stop him from

"New labour was nothing more than warmed up Thatcherism" do you agree? The purpose of this essay is to discuss and evaluate the extent to which it can be said that the New Labour Party was just a case of 'warmed up Thatcherism' or in other words, a continuation of Thatcherite policies during its 'modernisation project' and its entry into office in 1997 after its colossal victory. There are significant similarities shared by the two governments, evident in its domestic policies such as privatisation

and Conservative parties? There are significantly more constituencies for the Labour and Conservative parties than the other parties. The Conservative party constituencies also seem to be centered more in the same location, England, while the Labour party is very spread out, and in what appears to be smaller locations. This leads me to the assumption that the population in those places is significantly greater, and a very high percentage of each place vote for the Labour party, which is what makes

However, Corbyn won the party leadership twice on two strong campaigns that could be described as anti-spin. He seems to be the antithesis of practiced messages, and has been hailed as being authentic by many as a result (Benady 2015). Both his leadership campaigns were rooted on the members understanding his vision for the UK, something which the other candidates perhaps did not have. Corbyn may be far to the left of most British people, but his beliefs and behaviour are genuine in a way that other

government into labour during his term from December 5 1972 until his dismissal on December 11 1975. He went on to change Australia through a wide-ranging reform program. He especially influenced society alongside his endless supply of boldness and tenacity, not to mention his aspiration to lead the nation into good hands. Introducing indigenous rights and abolishing discrimination was one of the many legislations Whitlam put forward. Likewise, implementing a number of women’s social and educational

Bhutan IAS project Bhutan, also know as the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a country in South Asia located in the Eastern Himalayas.

It is bordered by Tibet Autonomous Region in the north, by India in the south, the Sikkim State of India; the Chumbi Valley of Tibet in the west, and Arunachal Pradesh state of India in the east.

The dictionary defines the term outlier as “a person or thing situated away or detached from the main body or system”. In both Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Self-Reliance”, a person being an outlier is something that is a fairly common thing. The term outlier is consequently the theme of Gladwell’s “Outliers”, whereas in Emerson’s “Self-Reliance”, being an outlier means not conforming to society's norms. Emerson’s

Jake Baldwin MP, recently elected himself, accompanied by local conservative candidate Daniel Parkinson and local member of the youth parliament attended a staged event at Chester Park. 'The Youngsters Trio' as they were called focused on the three main issues concerning the constituency. The MP for Canterbury opened the discussion. ''The very reason for this election is the misbehaviour of Labour's MP Chris Matheson. As a result, you are forced to take a new decision and this time have a new chance

funded grassroots and social welfare organisations. 37 regional councils, who allocated the priorities, administered the funding and made decisions as to how money could be best spent. The funding was distributed to community centres, volunteer groups, resource centres, and programs designed to provide assistance to support people with specific needs, including women, children, young people, disabled people, the elderly, and new migrants. This new model of delivering social welfare services was praised

with the falling economy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With the country's new prime minister, the public were ready for change. In her “The Lady’s not For Turning” speech, Margaret Thatcher hopes to win the support of the British public for her party and for her decisions regarding domestic policies, foreign affairs and the issues concerning unemployment. Margaret Thatcher was one of the most influential political leaders in Britain's history. In 1979, Thatcher became the first female prime minister

Whether government is the party which should hold the most responsibility in the case of employment and social security policy has always been a debating issue. By looking at the effectiveness of the recent policies that gathered the effort of government and employers, we could examine that whether each party is doing their exact part in contributing to solve this problem, which will eventually “address Britain’s supposedly broken society and restore economic competitiveness” (Jay Wiggan, 2012)

Introduction Although European integration from mid 1940s has continuously forged a wide spectrum of unity among European states, the integration carries three institutional challenges towards the states. First, democratic legitimacy and sovereignty of European states are constrained due to political integration. As parliamentary sovereignty of a national parliament is contested by transfer of powers and the European Court of Justice (ECJ), its parliamentary supremacy diminishes. Second, a national

One of the dominant ideas of the Labours party in 2010 was that they wanted social justice for everyone. They want to stick to what traditional Labours ideas but to add in new and modern ideas that would get more people to support them. One of these ideas was Individualism. Labour put individualism very high on their list and wanted to get people to take incentive over their lives and realize that they should do things for themselves instead of just relying on the government to do everything for

In 1997 when New Labour and Tony Blair came to power UK teachers were expecting policy to be transformed from the “neo-liberal” approach that had been used by the Conservative party. Thatcher had attempted to create an educational market place using the national curriculum to standardise what was being taught, introducing the publishing of exam results and new City Technology Colleges, triggering schools to compete against each other for ‘consumers’ or parents in order to raise standards across the

validity of this view (25 marks) Labours victory in the 1997 election was first thought to be the U-turn of the socio-economic transformation that the Nation endured after 18 years of conservative premiership. However, these thoughts were quickly extinguished as the Labour party and Tony Blair took the neoliberalist ideals of the conservative party and intensified them. The rebranded new Labour looked to reform Britain in its own rendition of neoliberalism, the party executed this by making promises

‘The social reforms of the period 1868-1885 were undertaken reluctantly and had limited impact.’ Assess the validity of this view. I would argue that this statement is valid. Generally, the social reforms made by both the Liberals and the Conservatives during this period were passed reluctantly, due to each parties desperation for votes, however this may have inspired the party to pass more reforms. The Liberal party were not always eager to pass the reforms as it would lose them votes, whereas

The conservative party and the labour party are thought to have derived from completely opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. The conservative party is associated with conservatism and the labour party with socialism mainly because of it’s attachment to the working class. This ‘difference’ is why many believe that a two party system still exists in the UK. Although it is believed that conservatives fear change as it causes instability therefore damages society, hence to ensure stability ‘the

Account for the failure of the Labour party to win the 2015 UK general Elections.

There are several parties which can take part in elections such as the Labour party, the Conservative party, the UK Independence Party, the Liberal Democrats, The Scottish National Party and others. The leader of the party that wins the election becomes Prime Minister

Shortly before the election, when it was clear that the Conservatives would not win a majority, David Cameron asked German prime minister Angela Merkel what it was like to be the leader of the larger party in a coalition government. She replied with “The little party always gets smashed!”. The Lib Dems seem to have proved her correct. The decision to enter a Tory coalition was a massive mistake, but worse still were their broken promises. Their policy to end tuition fees gained them
