	election 2005 - issues and action
		From a UK perspective we are not safe because as long as we are part of the Missile Defence system we are vulnerable to any country which wishes to attack the United States.
		There is growing concern that the UK is planning to develop new Nuclear weapons systems in the coming years to replace the Trident nuclear weapons system, which are due to come to the end of their active life in 2024.
		There exists a strong possibility that the UK wishes to replace Trident with the kind of more 'usable' (some might say 'tactical') low yield or bunker-buster weapons that the Bush administration and US nuclear laboratories have shown such interest in.

		Members of Parliament are controlled by their party whips, who round up members before a vote and organize debates in the Commons.
		The functions of Parliament are to make laws, to appropriate money for various state purposes, and to provide a forum for debate.

	The new Chippenham Constituency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Every 8 to 12 years, the Boundary Commission for England recommends that the constituency boundarys in the country be updated to keep each parliamentary area roughly equal in terms of population covered, and also to group together populations that naturally fit together.
		If Parliament approves, the new constituencies will be used at the first general election after that.
		Here's a detailed listing of the wards to be included - the numbers along side wards refer to their placement on the map; the cluster to the top of the constituency is the town of Chippenham.

		To heighten the fear factor, she notes that the community "is numerous in that constituency" and "votes en bloc".
		Brother Atif Imtiaz at Bradford Muslim reported a few days ago that one of the elders in Birmingham whose name appeared at the bottom of a letter in the Guardian on 12th April telling Muslims to vote Labour in fact had nothing to do with it and has distanced himself from it.
		This year, the voting campaigns are targeted at constituencies, rather than encouraging Muslims to vote for individuals in their constituencies rather than for parties, since after all, our system works seat-by-seat rather than on a whole-country basis.

		The UK government had been expected to oppose the banning of cluster bombs, continuing its near 100% track record of picking the least humanitarian option available in any circumstances, but the Independent reports this morning that pressure from Hilary Benn has brought about a volte face and they will now be working for a ban.

	NUCLEAR AND WMD
		Two sites on U.K. territory, the American bases at Fylingdales and Menwith Hill, would be required for NMD to work.
		While international opposition to the project is strong, many British politicians maintain that there still exists a ‘special relationship’ between the United Kingdom and the United States, and that high levels of cooperation in the diplomatic, defense and intelligence fields are the fruitful results of this relationship.
		NMD, and the possible use of UK facilities in a proposed US system, are believed to be high on the agenda.

		Teacher Paul Hopkinson, 37, was among the protesters outside parliament on Monday and he burnt New Zealand and Australian flags to loud cheers from the crowd.
		Clearly, if he were elected to Parliament he would use his one vote to force the government to give free heroin to kiddies.
		Meanwhile, call this bill what it really is: a simultaneously get-even and defensive reaction to a minor party Democrats would have no reason to fear if they were as true to their party's ideals as the Greens are.

	I Voted For You Because... - Busiest comments from those not voting in the 2005 General Election
		I DID NOT VOTE LABOUR because the UK is a small island with a limited amount of housing, yet labour encourage mass unchecked imigration on a huge scale, this I have seen for myself.
		I voted for the George Galloway and the Respect Party, largely because I am sick of the filthy sheen of media language and politician-speak that coats everything we are told, on the television and in the press,...

	UK CAMPAIGN FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF AMERICAN BASES (CAAB)
		The last upgrade of the early warning facilities took place in the early 1990s when the old ‘golf balls’, which had become obsolete and difficult to maintain, were replaced with a modern solid state phased array radar.
		The UK Government contributed a total of £48 million to the costs of this upgrade, from the headquarters Strike Command budget.
		However, some of my constituents are alarmed at the more sensational suggestions as to what ballistic missile defence might mean for RAF Fylingdales.

		“She is facing a cut-throat competition in her constituency from the Labour and the Liberal Democrats, which both have fielded Muslim candidates in her constituency,” he said.
		Among the constituencies with heavy Muslim populations are Bradford West, Bradford North, Ilford South, Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath, Leicester South, West and East Ham and Blackburn.

	DEVOLUTION ISN'T FOR ENGLAND,SAYS BBC. - Conservative Correspondence
		The Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly use English taxes to pay for life saving drugs for their own country whilst the British government, ruled by the Scottish Raj, deny English people life saving treatment because there is no money left once our "partners" have taken what they want.
		But because 80% of the population of the UK was English there was "absolutely no need for the sort of protection for the Scots and the Welsh by having their own parliament or assembly," he argued.

	Contemporary British History - Abstracts
		The city of Bradford has been a pioneer of urban/industrial tourism since 1979, believing that, amongst other things, tourism would improve an image rooted in long-held notions about the unattractiveness of the industrial north and tarnished by a series of high profile social and economic problems.
		Whereas, given the institutional structures on which the UK system of government is based, the Conservative Party has been overwhelmingly successful here, it is argued that by the 1990s, the conflict between policy needs and political pressures had become an obstacle to the exploitation of traditional Tory statecraft strategies.
		Although generally considered to be the archetypal Englishman, Baldwin cleverly re-created himself for the Scottish political constituency, a self-portrayal which allowed him to be accepted by Scottish audiences as one of their own.

		The Reform Act of 1832 deprived the restricted area of the borough of the right to return two members to parliament, increasing the constituency boundaries to take in a wider area; and in 1885 the constituency was completely reorganised under the Re-Distribution Act.

	THE HOUSE OF LORDS
		Areas that already have their own parliaments such as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland thereby have representation and would not, therefore, necessarily automatically be entitled to directly elect Members of the NSC (See Annex #3: The Electoral Process).
		We think NSC Members representing any community should be empowered to work directly with them, to learn about their problems and grievances and to encourage them to participate in activities that facilitate their interactive participation in the life of the broader British society.
		To political scientists, it seems apparent that localities like Bradford are inextricably linked with the dynamics of the larger society and that, without political representation and some degree of power sharing, discrimination and injustices will inescapably persist, leading to anger and violence.
