		The constituency is dominated by Luton airport and the Vauxhall car plant, and it came as a major blow to the area when Vauxhall announced that they plan to close their plant by mid 2002 with the loss of 2,000 jobs.
		Pronounced Blakely, the seat lies in the north of Manchester and borders the suburbs of Prestwich to the west and Chadderton and Failsworth to the east.
		Reading is now seen as the capital of the Thames Valley and was disappointed recently to have had its application for city status rejected.

		In Sri Lanka, the parliament is in session during the first and third weeks of each month, and during the second and fourth weeks the members work in their constituencies, where people can have access to them.
		Other parliaments regard civic organisations or NGOs which represent specific issues or interests as the most appropriate vehicle for conveying the views of civil society; and they send specific invitations to organisations known to have an interest in the particular legislation or enquiry under consideration, inviting their submissions.
		In some instances parliament is not authorised to adopt a law pending the outcome of a referendum, whereas in others a referendum may have the effect of overturning an adopted bill, as in Italy and Switzerland.

		My constituents are getting angrier and angrier, because investment is not being made; we have been promised great things, but the train service is failing to deliver them.
		People in my constituency recognise that there is pressure on the network further to the east of Southampton, but there is not the pressure on the network between Bournemouth and Southampton to justify that enormous cut in service.

	The Best of All Worlds: Partisan advocates of "ward" and "at-large" should compromise and choose neither (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The degree of voter influence under both at-large and SMP is therefore a function of the configuration of the parties contesting the election, and not simply of the size of the constituencies, as Smith and Stewart naively assert.
		Although STV is generally used in constituencies of between 5 and 7 members, it would be perfectly feasible to elect the 8 Nanaimo city councillors in a single city-wide STV election.
		The advantage of using "natural" boundaries for multi-member constituencies is that redistricting is not necessary; this saves on expense and also avoids the potential for gerrymandering which is inherent in single-member constituencies.

		First, under FPTP, the UK is divided into a number of constituencies (651 in 1992; this is set to rise to 659 after boundary revisions), each electing one MP.
		The change was the adoption of what was called the limited vote for thirteen three-seat constituencies and one four-seat constituency introduced by the Reform Act of that year.' Prior to the Reform Act, most of the parliamentary constituencies elected two members, which tended to exaggerate the bias in favour of larger parties inherent in FPIFP.
		However, parlia mentary questions represent only a part of the work of the Commons; it is in the area of the legislative role of MPs that questions could perhaps be raised.

		An English Parliament, with the same powers as the Scottish Parliament, and running alongside the existing UK Parliament would lead to the creation of two parliaments and governments within one.
		This would mean that a UK Government, elected on a UK mandate, might find itself unable to deliver key policies on which it had been elected.
		The polls I have seen indicate that if there is not already majority support for an English Parliament, it is only because the figures involved are, as you suggest, the result of dishonest interpretation of the responses to OTHER questions.

	Scottish Devolution: A Historical and Political Analysis
		The first clause of the Scotland Act of 1998 reads, "there shall be a Scottish parliament."<1> In May 1999 Scotland elects its first Parliament since 1707, and the Queen will formally open it on July 1st, 1999.
		In 1913 a Home Rule Bill passed its second reading before being defeated at the final vote.<4> In response to this earlier home rule movement, the Government created the post of Secretary of State for Scotland in 1885 and made a cabinet position for Scotland in 1926, the so-called Scottish Office.
		In November 1998 the Westminster Parliament passed the Scotland Act, as it did a Wales Act also, and it received Royal assent; the first elections to the Scottish Parliament are to be held on May 6, 1999.
