Religious lobbying and policy influence: Christian interest group impacts around the legalization of same‐sex marriage in England and Wales
The influence of religious groups in democratic policy making has often been a source of political controversy. In the United Kingdom, the legalization of same‐sex marriage in England and Wales may in some ways be thought to exemplify the weakening social position and policy power of the churches. Drawing on a mixture of methods—including analysis of newspaper coverage, legislative debates, and policy documents, plus interviews—this article asses…
Christian Interest Groups in A Religiously Changing United Kingdom: Issues, Strategies, Influence
Christianity is in long-term decline in the United Kingdom, with decreasing levels of affiliation, practice, belief, and social authority.

Answering the West Lothian Question? A Critical Assessment of ‘English Votes for English Laws’ in the UK Parliament
In 2015, the UK House of Commons adopted new procedures known as ‘English Votes for English Laws’ (EVEL).

After outlining the historical background against which EVEL emerged as a supposed solution to this iconic question, the paper explains how the 2015 reform works, a…

Legislatures in parliamentary systems are frequently seen as weak policy actors, and this is nowhere more true than of the British Westminster parliament. But real-world changes, and recent research, suggest that Westminster’s influence is significant and growing. This raises new questions about which non-government actors are influential, and we explore this through analysing 4,361 amendments proposed to 12 government bills. Assessing non-govern…
Does the Executive Dominate the Westminster Legislative Process: Six Reasons for Doubt
The British Westminster parliament is frequently dismissed as a weak policy actor, in the face of dominant executive power. But through analysis of 4361 amendments to 12 government bills, and over 120 interviews, we suggest six reasons for doubting the orthodox view. These fall into three groups: overstating government success in making amendments, overstating non-government failure, and overlooking parliamentary influence before and after the fo…
