	Parliament 2003, part 5, National Campaign for Firework Safety
		I know from my constituents that they do not wish to have an outright ban on fireworks, nor do they wish to see the decibel limit on fireworks reduced to such a level that the firework cannot be propelled into the sky and explode in the way that gives pleasure to those watching it.
		Our constituents want the control of noise to be the prime consideration of the House of Commons in dealing with fireworks, which is why that campaign should be a starting point.
		My mother and many other constituents have said that it is a question of balancing the right of pet owners to have nights during which they can sleep without their dogs jumping into bed with them, against the right of others to enjoy fireworks.

	Voters humiliate control freak tendancy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In the 6 May local government, the Scottish Parliament and Welsh As-sembly elections voters delivered a crushing rebuff to the control freak tendency in the leadership of the Labour Party.
		The biggest falls were in Islwyn, Neil Kinnock’s former constituency — down 34.7 per cent on its 1997 vote, the Rhondda — down 33.9 per cent and Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney — down 32.7 per cent.
		Even though he was standing against the official Labour candidate in the solid Labour constituency, Canavan won more votes than all of the other candidates put together — and nearly three times that of the Labour candidate.

	A message from Don (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The result in Islwyn was a tribute to the hard work of the Islwyn Labour volunteers who knocked tens of thousands of doors with me in the wind and rain and received a fantastic response from the people of the constituency.
		The endorsement that the people of Islwyn have given is living recognition of the fact that Labour has delivered.
		People in Islwyn have better opportunities, lower mortgage rates, increasing investment in their hospitals and schools, because of Labour.

	Jill Evans MEP - jillevans.net Speeches
		The European Parliament must be the only Parliament in the world which moves around and which does not have the power to decide where it should sit.
		Despite the fact that the Parliament works from Brussels, once a month for a week, all the MEPs, their staff, the civil servants, and Parliament staff from caterers to Parliament travel shop workers trek across Europe to the new Parliament in Strasbourg at a cost of £100 million to the tax payer.
		The European Parliament is a Parliament for Wales as much as for any other nation and we must all work together and play a full part in shaping the Europe of the future.

	GO BRITANNIA! Wales: The Referendum of 1997
		In an edition of the Guardian (June, 1994), Glenys Kinnock, the Welsh-speaking wife of the former leader of the Labour Party, received great acclaim at her election to the European Parliament at Brussels with a huge majority.
		They were particularly excited about the Tory government's humiliating defeat in the bye-election at Islwyn (Kinnock's constituency) when Labour received nearly 78 percent of the total votes cast.
		Nationalists, however, were demanding much more -- an elected parliament with 200 Members and a written constitution in addition to a Bill of Rights for a non-nuclear Scotland in which the Gaelic language would enjoy official status.

		It is the first point of order of the new Parliament, and it is a very good and genuine one.
		There must be many constituencies in Scotland that are glad that Labour's defence policy is not being carried through.

	AF - Against Parliament - Scottish & Welsh Nationalists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The advent of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh National Assembly has been an attempt to head off their influence whilst preserving the form of the U.K., still ultimately controlled from London.
		When the British Parliament overturned the decision the response wasn't the mass (peaceful, democratic, constitutional, etc.) rebellion the SNP would have liked, but a dull resignation and subsequent massive drop in support for them.
		Their aim at the time was to show how well the Scottish Parliament could work, thus making the population of Scotland demand full independence.

		Another major achievement of the summit was the signature by the 22 states of NATO and the Warsaw pact of the treaty to reduce conventional armed forces in Europe.
		That is precisely how our Parliament works and it is, after all, by far the oldest Parliament and has the most fundamental parliamentary and democratic institutions of all Parliaments.
		Friend aware that support for what she is doing, on the CSCE and generally, was, at my constituency executive committee last night, warm, strong and positive and that they very much want her to carry on?

	Screaming Lord Sutch Page in Fuller Up, The Dead Musician Directory
		constituency at the general election of 1997, but was compelled to stand down when his mother fell ill. Recently he was compelled to admit that, with the deposit at £5,000, the Loony Party could not afford to stand in the Euro election.
		While he holds a position of undeniable importance in the history of British rock, Sutch was not a talented singer or musician, and the records he made after the mid-'60s were pretty lame, despite the presence of some stars who remembered him fondly (and had even sometimes played in his band in the old days).
		A well-known public figure in Britain, he ran for Parliament several times in the '60s representing the "national teenage party," and founded the pirate radio station Radio Sutch in 1964.

	Socialism Today - The politics of discontent
		In Labour's strongest heartlands, many people were angry enough to turn their back on the party they had supported for decades, either not voting, or voting for an opposition candidate.
		Ex-Labour leader Neil Kinnock's old constituency, Islwyn, saw a phenomenal desertion from Labour in the Welsh assembly election, transforming what was once a 30,000 majority for Labour into a majority for Plaid Cymru.
		In the Scottish parliament, Labour will be compelled to rely heavily on partnership with the Liberals, not just to pass legislation, but also to defeat opposition from their own left-wing when necessary.

		To begin with, the 12 trade union representatives on Labour's NEC must represent union policy or be removed.
		Secondly, if the unions were to send 50 members into every constituency party, they could take it over.

	British Politics - Labour Party Leadership Elections (1994)
		Labour will win by being the party of democratic renewal: demolishing unaccountable quangos, devolving power to the nations and regions of Britain and providing a Bill of Rights.
		I know from my own Sedgefield constituency that a mass membership party drawing on the talents of unions and constituency members can be a reality.
		We must work together for a Labour Government driven by change, underpinned by conviction, confident in its beliefs and strong enough to defeat this decaying Tory philosophy, not just for a Parliament but for a generation.
