  • There was a Doctor, a Journalist and Two Welshmen

    P Cowley, Mark StuartARTICLEParliamentary Affairs2008Cited by: 6

    Ever since the abolition of university constituencies in 1950, independent MPs have been a very rare species at Westminster. Martin Bell, elected for Tatton in 1997, was the first mainland Independent MP elected since 1950. Since Bell's election only three other independents have been elected to the House of Commons. The paper explores the voting behaviour of these MPs to examine the nature of independence in the House of Commons and asks whether…

    The government’s main difficulty in the Commons in 2004 came over the passage of the Higher Education Bill. Its eventual (narrow) success was due to four factors: a desire amongst Labour MPs not to damage the government, the inability of the rebels to concentrate their forces; the extensive consultation between front- and backbenchers, and the changes made to the bill to meet the concerns of would-be rebels.

  • Voting in the House or Wooing the Voters at Home

    Ron Johnston, P Cowley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Legislative Studies2002Cited by: 16

    Part of Labour's strategy for winning a second full term of government at the 2001 general election in the UK involved encouraging its MPs, especially those holding marginal seats, to spend considerable time in their constituencies in the preceding years, contacting voters and promoting the party's cause. Given the size of its majority in 1997, it was able to afford for many MPs to be absent from divisions in the House of Commons. This article lo…
