The '''Court of Common Council''' is the primary decision-making body of the [[City of London Corporation]]. It meets nine times per year. Most of its work is carried out by committees. [[City of London Corporation elections |Elections]] are held at least every four years. It is largely composed of independent members although the number of [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] Common Councilmen in 2017 grew to five out of a total of 100.<ref name="CL">{{cite web|title=Committee details - Court of Common Council|url=https://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=223|website=democracy.cityoflondon|publisher=City of London|access-date=28 October 2017|date=28 October 2017}}</ref> In October 2018, the Labour Party gained its sixth seat on the Common Council with a by-election victory in [[Castle Baynard]] ward.<ref>[https://www.citymatters.london/natasha-lloyd-owen-common-council-castle-baynard/ Natasha Lloyd-Owen wins Castle Baynard by-election] citymatters.london</ref>
The most recent election was in [[2022 City of London Corporation election|2022]].

==History==
{{Seealso|Wards of the City of London}}
The first common council was elected in 1273, with 40 members. In 1347 the number was increased to 133, and from later in the same century (it is stated to have been during the reign of King Edward III) it was increased to 206. The members were elected annually in December.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |title=The City Wardmotes|date=23 December 1902 |page=9 |issue=36958}}</ref>

The council now has 100 members, and is elected every fourth year. Between 2004 and 2009 elections were held on the second Friday in March. Since 2013 they have been held on either the third or fourth Wednesday in March.<ref>{{cite book |title=Wardmote Book |date=2022 |publisher=City of London |page=2 |url=https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/assets/about-us/voting-elections/wardmote-book-september-2022.pdf |access-date=18 September 2024}}</ref>

District of burghs

2024-08-15T18:13:42Z

The Grand Lunar:

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}
{{more citations needed|date=September 2007}}
The [[Act of Union 1707]] and [[pre-Union Scottish legislation]] provided for 14 [[Members of Parliament (MPs)]] from [[Scotland]] to be elected from '''districts of burghs'''. All the [[parliamentary burgh]]s ([[burgh]]s represented in the pre-Union [[Parliament of Scotland]]) were assigned to a district, except for [[Edinburgh]] which had an MP to itself. The burghs in a district were not necessarily adjacent or even close together.

Until 1832, the self-elected Council of each burgh in a district elected a commissioner, who had one vote for the MP. The commissioner from the Returning Burgh (which function rotated amongst the burghs in successive elections) had an additional casting vote if the numbers were equal. Burgh councils had small memberships, with the result that the combined electorate for all 14 constituencies in 1831 was no more than 1,270.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Porritt |first1=Edward |last2=Porritt |first2=Annie |title=The Unreformed House of Commons, Vol. II: Scotland and Ireland |date=1909 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |pages=116-123 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.18/page/n126/mode/1up}}</ref>

The [[Scottish Reform Act 1832]] amended the composition of the districts, and the boundaries of a burgh for parliamentary purposes ceased to be necessarily those of the burgh for other purposes. The franchise was extended, and votes from all the burghs were added together.

There were further changes to the number and the composition of the districts under the [[Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868]], [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885]], and [[Representation of the People Act 1918]].

The district of burghs system was eventually discontinued by the [[House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949]], but the term ''Burghs'' continued in use in the names of some constituencies until 1974.<ref name="Graig">''[[Boundaries of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972]]'' ({{ISBN|0-900178-09-4}}), [[F. W. S. Craig]], 1972</ref>

The idea of parliamentary burghs continues to this day, in the form of [[burgh constituency|burgh constituencies]], which are distinct from [[county constituencies]]. This distinction is significant in terms of the expenses allowed to election candidates.

==Early life and education==
Although born in [[Inverness]], to a Scottish mother, Crabb's upbringing was mostly in [[Haverfordwest]], the county town of [[Pembrokeshire]] in [[Wales]].

His father began claiming long-term sickness benefit – known then as [[Incapacity Benefit#History of Incapacity Benefit|Invalidity Benefit]] – the year before Crabb was born.<ref name=tele26032016>{{cite news |work=The Daily Telegraph |location= London |date=26 March 2016 |title=From council house to cabinet: the unlikely childhood of Stephen Crabb |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/12204410/From-council-house-to-Cabinet-the-unlikely-childhood-of-Stephen-Crabb.html}}</ref> His mother separated from his father when Crabb was eight years old.<ref name="meetthetorieswelshwizard">{{cite news |last1=Hardman |first1=Isabel |title=Meet the Tories' Welsh Wizard: an interview with Stephen Crabb |url=http://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/07/meet-the-tories-welsh-wizard-an-interview-with-stephen-crabb/ |access-date=19 March 2016 |work=[[The Spectator]] |location= London |date=18 July 2015}}</ref> She raised him and his two brothers on a council estate, living on benefits and receiving help from family, friends and the Baptist church.<ref>{{cite news |title= Stephen Crabb to be Welsh secretary |last=Mason|first= Rowena |url= https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jul/15/stephen-crabb-new-welsh-secretary |access-date=15 July 2014 |work=The Guardian |location= London |date=15 July 2014}}</ref>

Crabb has said that his early experiences informed his views on welfare: "The most powerful thing to me, looking back, is the way that my mother went through a crisis in her life and became welfare-dependent. She started working just a few hours each week, increasing her hours and then moving to a position where with extra training she was able to move into full-time work, become a car owner, and reach full economic independence."<ref name="Indie mini bio">{{cite news |url= https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/stephen-crabb-the-welsh-mp-and-new-work-and-pensions-secretary-who-once-worked-as-a-labourer-a6940991.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/stephen-crabb-the-welsh-mp-and-new-work-and-pensions-secretary-who-once-worked-as-a-labourer-a6940991.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Stephen Crabb profile: How a working-class boy rose through Tory ranks to become Work and Pensions Secretary |work=The Independent |location= London |date=19 March 2016 |access-date=19 March 2016}}</ref><ref name="Crabb crunching">{{cite web |date=26 February 2015 |publisher=PoliticsHome.com |title=Crabb crunching |url=https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/home-affairs/house/71652/crabb-crunching |access-date=21 April 2016 |archive-date=17 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417085320/https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/home-affairs/house/71652/crabb-crunching |url-status=dead }}</ref> He also said: "I was brought up in a home where a huge amount of emphasis was put on work...so work and education as routes out of poverty were drummed into us".<ref name="Crabb crunching"/>

Crabb was educated at local primary schools. From 1984 to 1991 he attended [[Tasker Milward VC School|Tasker Milward School]] in Haverfordwest, created in 1978 after the closure of a former boys' grammar school and the local girls school, and which was a [[voluntary controlled school]].<ref name="About Stephen">{{cite web|title=About Stephen |url=http://www.stephencrabb.com/About-Stephen/About-Stephen.aspx |website=stephencrabb.com |access-date=15 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140717090752/http://www.stephencrabb.com/About-Stephen/About-Stephen.aspx |archive-date=17 July 2014 }}</ref> He has said the education there was "second to none...I tasted [the] very best of what a state education can provide". This alludes to popular Chemistry Professor Jon Sharpe who most notably discovered the boiling and melting point of [[Element 117]].<ref name="Crabb crunching"/>

Crabb went on to study politics at the [[University of Bristol]] and graduated in 1995.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/vote2001/candidates/candidates/6/66153.stm|title=VOTE 2001 | CANDIDATES|website=BBC News |accessdate=23 June 2024}}</ref> He joined the Conservative Party after graduating from university.<ref name="Crabb crunching"/> Later, he gained an [[MBA]] at the [[London Business School]].<ref name="About Stephen"/><ref name="Stephen Crabb Secretary of State for Wales"/>

Crabb was the youngest member of the 2005 Conservative intake.<ref name="Stephen Crabb Secretary of State for Wales">{{cite press release |title= Stephen Crabb MP appointed Secretary of State for Wales |url= https://www.gov.uk/government/news/stephen-crabb-mp-appointed-secretary-of-state-for-wales |publisher= Wales Office |date=15 July 2014}}</ref> He made his [[maiden speech]] on 25 May 2005.<ref name="Maiden">{{cite journal|title=Oral Answers to Questions (25 May 2005) |journal=Hansard |volume=434 |issue=79 |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo050525/debtext/50525-21.htm#50525-21_spnew0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222145604/http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/vo050525/debtext/50525-21.htm |archive-date=22 December 2015 }}</ref>

===Backbench career===
In 2010, Crabb chaired the cross-party group for Democracy in Burma and was patron of the [[Burma Campaign UK]].<ref name="wdtburma">{{cite news |title=Burmese campaigner joins Stephen Crabb on his election campaign |url= http://www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/news/8107919.Stephen_Crabb_welcomes_Burmese_campaigner_to_Pembrokeshire/ |access-date=26 March 2016 |work=[[Western Telegraph]] |location= Haverfordwest |date=19 April 2010}}</ref> The [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] website describes Crabb as someone who "takes a strong interest in international development and believes firmly in the importance of UK aid". From 2010 until 2012, he led the Conservative Party's Project Umubano, which works in [[Rwanda]] and [[Sierra Leone]].<ref name="Stephen Crabb - Conservative" />

Crabb has served on the [[Welsh Affairs Select Committee]], the [[International Development Select Committee]] and the [[Treasury Select Committee]]. He was appointed to the Conservative front bench in 2009 as Junior Whip; when the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition was elected in 2010, Crabb was made Assistant Government Whip.<ref name="Stephen Crabb - Conservative">{{cite web |title=Stephen Crabb |url=http://www.conservatives.com/OurTeam/Members_of_Parliament/Crabb_Stephen.aspx |publisher=The Conservative Party |access-date=19 March 2016 |archive-date=22 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722224935/http://www.conservatives.com/OurTeam/Members_of_Parliament/Crabb_Stephen.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref>

====MPs' expenses scandal====
During the [[United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal|2009 parliamentary expenses scandal]], it was reported that Crabb had claimed £8,049 for refurbishments to his flat in London that was carried out from July 2006. He sold the flat the following year and switched his second home expenses to the house he had recently bought for his family in Pembrokeshire, allowing him to claim back £9,300 in stamp duty and £1,325 a month in mortgage interest for almost a year while designating another London flat he was renting with a fellow MP as his main home. Crabb said in response: "I haven't claimed for things like plasma TVs, even though the rules allow it. My claims were always within the letter and the spirit of the rules".<ref>"{{cite news |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5318954/Stephen-Crabb-nominates-fellow-MPs-flat-as-main-home-MPs-expenses.html |title=Stephen Crabb nominates fellow MP's flat as main home: MPs' expenses |last=Swaine |first=Jon |date=14 May 2009 |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=19 March 2016 |location=London}}</ref>

===Junior minister in the Wales Office===
In 2012, Crabb was promoted to [[Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State]] for Wales and became a [[Lords Commissioners of the Treasury|Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury]], meaning he was a government minister and a government whip at the same time, which the BBC said had led to "political pundits and opposition politicians scratching their heads".<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-19497621 | work=BBC News | title=The unexpected Wales Office call for Baroness Randerson | date=5 September 2012}}</ref> Labour's [[Owen Smith]], whose parliamentary career has mirrored that of Crabb, called the arrangement "highly unusual and unsatisfactory", adding, "it's unheard of to have a whip also acting as a minister in a department".<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Wales Online|title=Reshuffle: Jenny Randerson and Stephen Crabb join Wales Office|date=5 September 2012|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/reshuffle-jenny-randerson-stephen-crabb-2023626}}</ref>

At the [[Wales Office]], Crabb worked on maintaining the competitiveness of Wales' energy-intensive industries in the face of high energy costs.<ref>{{cite press release |url= https://www.gov.uk/government/news/stephen-crabb-lowering-energy-costs-vital-for-international-competitiveness-of-uk-manufacturing |publisher=Wales Office |title=Stephen Crabb: "Lowering energy costs vital for international competitiveness of UK manufacturing|date=27 March 2014 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref> In the 2014 Spring Budget, the [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] announced that the British government would compensate energy-intensive industries hit hard by the rising cost of energy.<ref>{{cite news| first=Graham|last= Henry |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/budget-2014-what-george-osbornes-6851158 | work=Wales Online | title=Budget 2014: What will George Osborne's Budget statement mean for Wales? | date=19 March 2014}}</ref>

===Secretary of State for Wales===
In the [[2014 United Kingdom Cabinet reshuffle|reshuffle of July 2014]], Crabb was promoted to [[Secretary of State for Wales]] and joined the Cabinet.<ref name="Stephen Crabb UK Parliament" /> One of his first acts as Welsh Secretary was to abandon his taxpayer subsidised car in favour of public transport.<ref>{{cite news| first=Steffan |last=Rhys |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-secretary-stephen-crabb-scraps-7461404 | work=Wales Online | title=No Jags: New Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb scraps Jaguar on first day | date=20 July 2014}}</ref> He has said his proudest moment in the post was brokering a deal between the Treasury and the devolved Welsh government to extend the electrification of the [[Great Western Main Line]] to Swansea and [[The Valleys]].<ref name="Crabb crunching"/>

Crabb remained in the job after the post-general election cabinet reshuffle held on 11 May 2015.<ref>{{cite news |title= Election 2015:Stephen Crabb to remain as Welsh Secretary |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-wales-32681095 |access-date=11 May 2015 |work=BBC News |date=11 May 2015}}</ref> He welcomed the impact of [[Iain Duncan Smith]]'s welfare reforms in Wales, saying: "We can't go soft on [[welfare reform]] in a place like Wales – it's precisely the place that needs it."<ref name="Indie mini bio"/>

====Cuts to sickness benefits====
On 2 March 2016, Crabb voted with the government to reduce by £30 per week the amount of [[Employment and Support Allowance]] (ESA) paid to disabled people newly placed in the cohort of recipients known as the work-related activity group from April 2017.<ref name="How they">{{cite news |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/see-how-your-mp-voted-10988939 |title=See how your MP voted on controversial cuts to ESA disability benefits |work=Wales Online |date=4 March 2016 |access-date=22 March 2016}}</ref> Crabb's constituency office was vandalised afterwards, with graffiti asking: "Why do you hate the sick?" seen on its facade on 12 March.<ref name=Pembrokeshire>{{cite web|url=http://www.pembrokeshire-herald.com/22732/22732/|title=Haverfordwest: Stephen Crabb MP's office vandalised following controversial vote|work=The Pembrokeshire Herald – Pembrokeshire's News|access-date=19 March 2016|date=13 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.milfordmercury.co.uk/news/pembrokeshire_news/14344286.Tory_MP_s_office_vandalised_after_controversial_Parliament_vote/|title=Tory MP's office vandalised after controversial Parliament vote|work=Milford Mercury|date=15 March 2016 |access-date=19 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/politics/article4717893.ece |title=Calls for Crabb to quit charity role |work=The Times |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref>

In a statement about the outcome of the vote issued on 14 March, Crabb explained: "What this actually means is that those individuals who are considered to be able to work in the future will now access the same level of benefit as those on Jobseekers Allowance, but will be given better-tailored support to help them into employment. It doesn't affect those already claiming ESA. Of course, we are protecting those that are 'too ill to work'. There is no question about that."<ref name=Pembrokeshire/> Three days later, Crabb claimed on his [[Facebook]] page that "only those who are fit to work and actively seeking work are included in the work-related activity group".<ref name="Guardian WRAG">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/mar/21/crabb-under-pressure-over-support-for-cut-disability-aid |title=Stephen Crabb under pressure over support for cut in disability aid |last1=Butler |first1=Patrick |last2=Asthana |first2=Anushka |date=21 March 2016 |work=The Guardian |access-date=22 March 2016}}</ref> His post had to be amended: [[Work Capability Assessment|the work-related activity group]] contains ESA claimants deemed 'too ill to work' but capable of participating in work-related activities, such as job-coaching and pre-employment training, who are assessed as likely to work within two years, not immediately.

The following week, [[Debbie Abrahams]] MP, Labour's spokesperson on disabilities, said: "It doesn't bode well for David Cameron that the man he chooses to make the new work and pensions secretary doesn't even know the status of people in the ESA WRAG", while [[Jonathan Portes]], a former DWP chief economist and an expert on welfare policy, was puzzled that Crabb, as a Cabinet Minister, could vote on important changes to ESA while appearing to be confused about what the vote was about.<ref name="Guardian WRAG"/>

===Secretary of State for Work and Pensions===
On 19 March 2016, Crabb was appointed to succeed [[Iain Duncan Smith]] as [[Secretary of State for Work and Pensions]] following the latter's sudden, unexpected resignation over proposed changes to the [[Personal Independence Payment]] (PIP), a disability benefit unrelated to the employment status of the claimant. In his first parliamentary statement as Welfare Secretary, Crabb said that the Government "will not be going ahead with the changes to PIP that were put forward. We have no further plans to make welfare savings beyond the very substantial savings legislated for by parliament two weeks ago [cuts to Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)] which we will now focus on implementing."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35863776 |title=Stephen Crabb: 'No further plans' for welfare cuts |work=BBC News |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CCbcA8OXV0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/1CCbcA8OXV0 |archive-date=13 December 2021 |url-status=live|title=Stephen Crabb announces disability benefits cuts U-turn (subtitled) |publisher=ITV News (via YouTube) |date=21 March 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Shortly after being appointed, he outlined his views on social security: "Every party should want to see welfare spending come down. That should be an aspiration for all of us because what you're saying is we are working towards a society where there are fewer people caught in dependency, fewer people who are out of work and need that intervention from the state." He also said: "You have always got to handle issues of welfare with care because you are dealing with support mechanisms for Britain's most vulnerable people".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/03/what-the-new-work-and-pensions-secretary-stephen-crabb-thinks-about-welfare-reform/ |work=The Spectator |location=London |title=Stephen Crabb: how my mother inspired my vision of welfare reform |date=19 March 2016 |access-date=20 March 2016 |archive-date=22 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322055709/http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/03/what-the-new-work-and-pensions-secretary-stephen-crabb-thinks-about-welfare-reform/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In early April 2016, Crabb gave an interview where he was critical of ESA and its eligibility test. He said: "ESA was a benefit the previous Labour government brought in when they brought in [[Work Capability Assessment]]s (WCA) and the truth is it's never worked like it was intended. The WCA was a mess, it didn't recognise mental health issues and it didn't recognise other types of disability".<ref>{{cite news| date=7 April 2016 |first=Sam |last=Kurtz |work=Western Telegraph |title=Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Stephen Crabb on his new job, 'gay cure claims' and the bedroom tax |location= Haverfordwest |url= http://www.westerntelegraph.co.uk/news/14410614.EXCLUSIVE_INTERVIEW__Stephen_Crabb_MP___I_do_not_and_have_never_believed_in_gay_cure_therapy_/}}</ref>

In July 2016, Crabb resigned from the post, after admitting to sending sexually explicit messages to a 19-year-old woman he had interviewed for a job while he was Welsh Minister.<ref name=IndependentAdmission>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mark-garnier-westminster-harassment-claims-sex-toy-text-messages-cabinet-office-a8025606.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mark-garnier-westminster-harassment-claims-sex-toy-text-messages-cabinet-office-a8025606.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Tory minister Mark Garnier to be investigated by Cabinet Office over claim he asked aide to buy sex toys|work=The Independent|date=29 October 2017|first=Ashley|last=Cowburn|access-date=26 March 2019}}</ref><ref name=BBCResignation>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-36789430 |work=BBC News |title=Stephen Crabb resigns as Theresa May forms new cabinet |date=14 July 2016}}</ref>

Crabb promised to create a £100 billion "Growing Britain Fund", which he would use for flood defences, [[Fiber-optic communication|fibre-optic]] [[broadband]], and [[Crossrail 2]]. He hoped to finance this through new government bonds, because "the cost of borrowing is incredibly low.

===2017 general election===
In the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|general election of 8 June 2017]], Crabb again retained his seat, though with a majority of only 314; however, his share of the vote increased to 43.4%. He claimed that he had lost votes in the election through Conservative spending cuts. He also said local authority employees, nurses and teachers should get a pay rise.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/jun/19/health-unions-urge-theresa-may-to-ditch-nhs-pay-cap Health unions urge Theresa May to ditch NHS pay cap] ''[[The Guardian]]''</ref>

[[File:Brass knuckles.jpg|thumb|right|Brass knuckles]]
'''Brass knuckles''' (also referred to as '''brass knucks''', '''knuckledusters''', '''iron fist''' and '''paperweight''', among other names) are a [[melee weapon]] used primarily in [[Hand to hand combat|hand-to-hand combat]]. They are fitted and designed to be worn around the [[knuckle]]s of the human hand. Despite their name, they are often made from other metals, plastics or carbon fibers and not necessarily [[brass]].

Designed to preserve and concentrate a [[Punch (strike)|punch]]'s force by directing it toward a [[Elasticity (physics)|harder]] and [[Pascal's law|smaller]] contact area, they result in increased [[tissue (biology)|tissue]] [[Blunt trauma|disruption]], including an increased likelihood of [[Bone fracture|fracturing]] the intended target's [[bone]]s on impact. The extended and rounded palm grip also spreads the [[Newton's Third Law of Motion|counter-force]] across the attacker's palm, which would otherwise have been absorbed primarily by the attacker's fingers. This reduces the likelihood of damage to the attacker's fingers.

The weapon has been controversial for its easy concealability and is illegal to own and use in a number of countries.

== History and variations ==

Metal ring and knuckle style weapons date back to ancient times and have been used all over the world for many hundreds of years. [[Vajra-mushti]] has been practiced in India since at least the 12th century and mentioned in [[Manasollasa]]. The [[Nihang|Nihang Sikh]]s used an early variant called Sher Panja in the 18th century. [[Cast iron]], brass, [[lead]], and [[wood]] knuckles were made in the United States during the [[American Civil War]] (1861–1865). Soldiers would often buy cast iron or brass knuckles. If they could not buy them, they would carve their own from wood, or cast them at camp by melting lead [[bullets]] and using a mold in the dirt.

Some brass knuckles have rounded rings, which increase the impact of blows from moderate to severe damage. Other instruments (not generally considered to be "brass knuckles" or "metal knuckles" ''per se'') may have spikes, sharp points and cutting edges. These devices come in many variations and are called by a variety of names, including "knuckle knives."

By the late 19th century, knuckledusters were incorporated into various kinds of [[pistols]] such as the [[Apache revolver]] used by criminals in [[France]] in the late 19th to early 20th centuries.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Frost |first=H.

Knuckles and knuckle knives were also being made in England at the time and purchased privately by British soldiers. It was advised not to polish brass knuckles as allowing the brass to darken would act as camouflage on the battlefield.<ref>The Handbook Of The SAS And Elite Forces. How The Professionals Fight And Win. Edited by Jon E. Lewis. p.325-Tactics And Techniques, Personal Skills And Techniques. Robinson Publishing Ltd 1997. ISBN 1-85487-675-9</ref>

By [[World War II]], knuckles and knuckle knives were quite popular with both American and British soldiers. The Model 1918 trench knives were reissued to American [[paratroopers]]. A notable knuckle knife still in use is the [[Cuchillo De Paracaidista|Cuchillo de Paracaidista]], issued to [[4th Parachute Brigade (Argentina)|Argentinian paratroopers]]. Current-issue models have an emergency blade in the crossguard.

They are called {{Lang|sr-Cyrl|боксер}}, literally 'boxer'.

In [[Taiwan]], according to the [[Law of the Republic of China]], possession and sales of brass knuckles are illegal. Under the regulation, brass knuckles are considered weapons. Without the permission of the central regulatory agency, it is against the law to manufacture, sell, transport, transfer, rent, or have them in any collection or on display.<ref name="刀械法" />

In [[China]], brass knuckles are completely legal as per the Law of the Republic of China. According to Article 32 of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China",<ref>{{Cite web |title=Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China |publisher=Congressional-Executive Commission on China |url=https://www.cecc.gov/resources/legal-provisions/public-security-administration-punishment-law-chinese-text |access-date=2023-08-29}}</ref> citizens can legally own them for [[self-defense]], but they are prohibited items in certain places. For example, brass knuckles are not allowed to be carried when travelling on the subway, buses, trains, or other public transport. In [[ancient China]], although brass knuckles were also very popular, they were used all the time as a [[concealed weapon]] or self-defense tool. It shows that the brass knuckles do not have the direct lethality of the sword and knife, but they are still regarded as a cautious item. Unlike most of the ancient cold weapons, even today, the brass knuckles have not been eliminated and have become police equipment.

In the [[United States]], brass knuckles are not prohibited at the [[Federal government of the United States|federal]] level, but various [[U.S. state|state]], [[County (United States)|county]] and city laws, and the District of Columbia, regulate or prohibit their purchase and/or possession.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/brass-knuckles-legality-by-state/#:~:text=The%20states%20where%20brass%20knuckles,%2C%20Utah%2C%20Virginia%2C%20West%20Virginia |title=Brass Knuckles Legality by State 2023}}</ref> As of 2023, Brass knuckles are currently prohibited in 21 states.<ref>{{cite web |title=Brass Knuckles Legality by State 2023 |url=https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/brass-knuckles-legality-by-state}}</ref> Some state laws require purchasers to be 18 or older.

==Political positions==
Shaheen supports investment in public services: in particular, the NHS, schools and the justice system. She supports electoral reform, an end to arms sales to countries involved in civilian killings and rapid action on the climate crisis. She has also urged the reform of party political funding and the curtailing of the influence of large corporations on public policy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Why Faiza Shaheen|url=https://www.faizashaheen.co.uk/why-you-should-vote-for-faiza |access-date=5 June 2024|website=faiza.co.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Shaheen has stressed the urgency of rebuilding Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone and repairing the Broadmead Road bridge in Woodford Green, closed due to safety concerns by [[Redbridge London Borough Council|Redbridge Council]]. She advocates for urban renewal of the Chingford Mount area and opposes development without the requisite investment in infrastructure, including reversing the closure of essential local resources.<ref name=":0"/>

== U-turns on Corbyn and antisemitism allegations ==
Shaheen showed signs of support for the attempt to remove Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party in the summer of 2016.<ref name="Tweet">{{cite web |last1=auckland1987 |url=https://x.com/auckland1987/status/1543933167316471808 |website=x.com |access-date=22/06/2024}}</ref> <ref name="Archived tweet">{{cite web |last1=auckland1987 |url=https://twitter.com/auckland1987/status/1543938093186797568 |website=X.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705112211/https://twitter.com/auckland1987/status/1543938093186797568 |access-date=05/07/2022|archive-date=5 July 2022 }}</ref> She also showed support for a call for Corbyn to resign before the 2017 election. <ref>{{cite web |last1=auckland1987 |url=https://x.com/auckland1987/status/1543935522313306112 |website=X.com |access-date=05/07/2022}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web |last1=auckland1987 |url=https://twitter.com/auckland1987/status/1543938093186797568 |website=X.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705112211/https://twitter.com/auckland1987/status/1543938093186797568 |access-date=05-07-2022|archive-date=5 July 2022 }}</ref>

However, when first selected as a prospective parliamentary candidate in 2018, she displayed strong backing for Corbyn in the face of controversies involving antisemitism allegations in Labour under his leadership. On the 19th of February 2019 she said on the BBC’s Politics Live programme that Corbyn had ‘an impeccable record on anti-racism’.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pro-Starmer candidate Faiza Shaheen stabbing Corbyn in the back and siding with Starmer |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYQhBfoIxJA |website=youtube.com | date=30 July 2023 |publisher=auckland1987}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web |title='Here's Faiza Shaheen in 2019 saying Corbyn was an 'impeccable' anti-racist and racism was used as a 'political tool' by the media and Labour right, and her more recently siding with Starmer on suspending Corbyn for saying basically the same 'really stupid' thing:' |url=https://x.com/jrc1921/status/1685379849697779712 |website=x.com |publisher=jrc1921 |access-date=22/06/2024}}</ref> On the 7th of June 2019, also on Politics Live, Shaheen said, including with reference to the right of the Labour party, 'racism is really being used as a political tool' and ‘When you create a hierarchy of racism, you undermine all of us….It's been incredibly upsetting to see the hypocrisy and double standards of antisemitism and Islamophobia'.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Walker |first1=Michael |title='Brilliant and brave from @faizashaheen .

Also on the 7th of June, adding to her comments on Politics Live, Shaheen tweeted: 'At this troubling time when racism of all forms are on the rise we need people to be committed to anti-racism, not just selectively use it when it can undermine the left.'
<ref>{{cite web |last1=Shaheen |first1=Faiza |title=Tweet |url=https://x.com/faizashaheen/status/1136998463894372352 |website=X.com |publisher=@faizashaheen |access-date=22 June 2024}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web |last1=Shaheen |first1=Faiza |title='At this troubling time when racism of all forms are on the rise we need people to be committed to anti-racism, not just selectively use it when it can undermine the left.

After the July 17 2019 Prime Minister’s Questions, in which Theresa May attacked Jeremy Corbyn over antisemitism allegations and Corbyn responded by raising allegations about Conservative Islamophobia, Shaheen posted on Twitter: Today's #PMQs embarrassing show of "your racism is worse than mine", but even more depressing is that the issue of racism - not confined to political parties but across society - is now reduced to a political weapon rather than the serious and painful issue it is.'
However, she added that racism ‘has been cynically weaponised, including within Labour where it’s been maddening to see performative anti-racism from people who’ve never cared before’. <ref name="Archived tweet">{{cite web |last1=Shaheen |first1=Faiza |title='Agree that it has been cynically weaponised, including within Labour where it's been maddening to see performative anti-racism from people who've never cared before.

In May 2019 Shaheen posted that the Equality and Human Rights Commission was 'neither independent nor credible'.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Shaheen |first1=Faiza |url=twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/1260575436641312770 |website=Twitter.com |publisher=Faiza Shaheen @faizashaheen |access-date=22/06/2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515015119/https://twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/1260575436641312770 |format=Archived tweet |date=13-05-2019 |archive-date=15 May 2020 |quote=Someone just pointed out to me that EHRC brought into Cabinet Office last year via machinery of gov change.

After Labour was defeated in the December 2019 general election, Shaheen said on the Katie Halper Show podcast of Corbyn and his former aides, Seumas Milne and Karie Murphy: ‘he couldn't [remain leader] now….Also there were mistakes made on the left in his office, there was a real lack of strategizing, I think. I think they all need to step down, like, his office, really.'<ref>{{cite web |url=https://katiehalper.substack.com/p/252-corbynism-isnt-dead-with-faiza-644#details |website=https://katiehalper.substack.com/ |publisher=The Katie Halper Show |access-date=22/06/2024 |ref=Political talk show interview |format=Political talk show - audio |title=252 - Corbynism Isn't Dead with Faiza Shaheen, the British AOC |date=7 January 2020 }}</ref>

Shortly after Corbyn’s 29 October 2020 statement on the EHRC report into antisemitism in the Labour Party, in which he said "While I do not accept all of its findings, I trust its recommendations will be swiftly implemented to help move on from this period", Shaheen posted: "Reading the EHRC report.

In a June 2023 interview in the New Statesman, Shaheen endorsed Corbyn’s suspension from the Starmer-led Labour party: '"I think his statement was really stupid," she replied in reference to Corbyn's remark that the scale of antisemitism in Labour was "dramatically overstated for political reasons". "I don't know enough about whether he apologised or what the situation was, but Keir Starmer set it up to be a zero-tolerance thing [on anti-Semitism] and once you've done that it becomes impossible for that statement to sit alongside it."’<ref>{{cite web |last1=Eaton |first1=George |author1=George Eaton |title=Faiza Shaheen: "I get annoyed by the 'left candidate' badge" |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/the-weekend-interview/2024/05/faiza-shaheen-annoyed-left-candidate-badge |website=newstatesman.com |date=30 May 2024 |publisher=New Statesman |access-date=22/06/2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240603202056/https://www.newstatesman.com/the-weekend-interview/2024/05/faiza-shaheen-annoyed-left-candidate-badge |archive-date=22/06/2024}}</ref>

In a Guardian interview on June 5 2024, Shaheen, while criticising Labour's treatment of her, appeared to give a partial endorsement of actions the party took under Starmer's leadership with respect to the antisemitism controversy: "All the work rooting out antisemitism, that would never have happened if people weren't allowed to call out their own party."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Williams |first1=Zoe |title='How can they treat people like this?'

== Support for Keir Starmer ==

Shaheen showed support for Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign’s during the 2020 Labour leadership election, on his victory congratulating Starmer and deputy leader Angela Rayner: ‘We need a strong Labour Party making the case for real change more than ever. I look forward to taking on the world with you!'’<ref>{{cite web |last1=Shaheen |first1=Faiza |url=twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/1246512638160404480 |website=Twitter.com |publisher=Faiza Shaheen X.com/faizashaheen |access-date=22/06/2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200405192402/https://twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/1246512638160404480 |archive-date=05/04/2020 |date=04/04/2020}}</ref>

Faiza Shaheen’s campaign organiser from August 2018 to January 2020, Ravishaan S. Rahel Muthiah, worked as Rayner's Deputy Campaign Director and Communications and BAME Lead during the 2020 Labour deputy leadership contest, from January to April 2020. Once Rayner was elected Labour’s deputy leader, he then worked as Rayner’s Transition Director from April to July 2020.<ref>{{cite web |last1=S.

On a 20 October 2022 episode of The Owen Jones Show, Shaheen said that with a potential Starmer majority government, there is an opportunity to have ‘very clear, progressive stances’ on issues such as ‘unity’, ‘transparency’, ‘democracy’ and ‘having trust again in government’, adding ‘I think that Keir Starmer understands that’. <ref>{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Owen |title=General Election NOW! - Owen Jones |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFWGEQyqLoY&ab_channel=OwenJones |website=youtube.com |date=20 October 2022 |publisher=Owen Jones |access-date=22/06/2024 |quote="When there's a Labour government that has that big majority or even anything close to that, it doesn't have to play into the same horrific narratives of anti-immigration, it just can be unapologetic in terms of having very clear, progressive stances on what we do with the economy, how we build society, how we build unity between each other, how we build trust again in government, have transparency, have democracy, and so I think that the, this is, that kind of a majority is not just like oh, an opportunity just to be, like relaxing, and I think that Keir Starmer understands that, I do think that we, that would be an opportunity to change things for the better, you know, learning some of the lessons from the last time we were in government, and I think, oh, it would be wonderful, to have so few Tories, oh my god."}}</ref>

==''Know Your Place''==
Shaheen’s first book, ''Know Your Place'', is part memoir, part polemic. Shaheen describes the work as “a personal and statistical look at how society and the economy are structured, what really defines your life chances and how our current system keeps us locked into an ugly hierarchy.” Supported by copious statistics, Shaheen delves into factors ranging from inherited wealth to class, race, and education to argue that [[social mobility]] is “a fairytale” propagated by those with wealth and power as a means to protect their status and privilege.<ref name="KnowYourPlace1" />

The book was described as ‘A stunning and devastating indictment of a society scarred and defined by inequality, by one of the most charismatic and compelling voices in politics today’ by [[Owen Jones]], while [[Ash Sarkar]] commented that ‘Faiza’s work is living proof that you don’t have to choose between focusing on class and battling racism, or to triangulate on hate in order to advance a political cause.

== Candidate selection process ==

Each party had its own selection process. The processes used by Labour and the Conservatives were described by ''[[PoliticsHome]]'' as "secretive" and "controversial".<ref>{{#invoke:cite web||date=2023-06-01 |title=The Fraught Process Behind Who Gets To Run To Be An MP |url=https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/general-election-labour-conservative-selections-mp |access-date=2023-06-02 |website=Politics Home |language=en}}</ref>

== MPs changing constituencies ==
Due to boundary changes, most MPs standing for re-election sought to represent a seat at least slightly different from their present seat. However, in some cases sitting MPs secured selection to stand in a substantially or completely different seat from their present seat. They may happen because their seat is marginal and likely to be lost by their party, losing preselection to another candidate, boundary changes abolished their present seat or their present seat was redrawn in an unfavourable way in boundary changes.

Under the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the constituency is to be renamed '''Southend West and Leigh''' - to be first contested at the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eastern {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/eastern/ |access-date=2023-06-20 |website=[[Boundary Commission for England]]}}</ref>

== History ==
The constituency was created for the [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950 general election]] under the [[Representation of the People Act 1948]], when the Parliamentary Borough of [[Southend (UK Parliament constituency)|Southend-on-Sea]] was split in two.

Since creation, the seat has been held every election by the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], with majorities ranging from 5.7% during the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|Labour Landslide of 1997]] to 43.4% in 1955. It has historically been seen by pundits as a [[Safe seat|safe Conservative seat]].

Because four members of the [[Guinness family]] have held the seat (or its predecessor, [[Southend (UK Parliament constituency)|Southend]]) it has been dubbed in political analyses in the media as "Guinness-on-Sea".<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/obituaries/story/0,,2002349,00.html | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Lord Kelvedon | date=31 January 2007 | access-date=23 May 2010 | first=Andrew | last=Roth}}</ref>

The seat was represented by [[David Amess]] for 24 years, from 1997 to 15 October 2021, when [[Murder of David Amess|he was murdered]].<ref name=death.1/> Amess was previously the MP for Basildon from 1983. A [[2022 Southend West by-election|by-election]] was held to elect a replacement MP. In a similar vein to the subsequent by-election following [[Murder of Jo Cox|the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox]] in 2016, all major contender parties stated they would not field candidates in opposition to the Conservative nominee.<ref>{{Cite web|date=18 October 2021|title=Labour, Lib Dems and Greens won't stand candidates in Southend West by-election|url=https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2021-10-17/labour-and-lib-dems-wont-stand-candidates-in-southend-west-by-election|access-date=30 October 2021|website=ITV News|language=en}}</ref>

== Introduction ==

The article states this was "the first general election to be contested by the leaders of all three of the three leading political parties". Surely, this makes no sense? I suggest something along the lines that this was "the first general election to be contested by different leaders of the three leading political parties compared to the previous election".--[[User:WSmith26997|WSmith26997]] ([[User talk:WSmith26997|talk]]) 21:38, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

== Claim re Rochdale result in "Bigotgate" section ==

The "Bigotgate" says " Despite this, Labour went on to gain the Rochdale seat from the Liberal Democrats, one of the few gains they made in the election". The problem here is that most sources would dispute this. It is a complicated issue. The [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Lib Dem]] [[Paul Rowen]] had indeed won [[Rochdale (UK Parliament constituency)|The Rochdale constituency]] in [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005]] and was defeated by [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour's]] [[Simon Danczuk]] at this election, the 2005 seat had significantly different boundaries. This on election night the BBC counted it as a Labour hold, as did ''The [[Times Guide to the House of Commons]] 2010'', which also notes (on p244) that the boundary changes helped Labour (and suggests that on these boundaries in 2005 Labour would have had 40.9% to the Lib Dems' 40.7%). I would note the claim of a game is not cited. It is true to say the Lib Dems, given their polling were favourites to win the seat, and on election night one of the BBC presenters (I think [[David Dimbleby]] commented that Labour's win was a surprise as the Rochdale electorate (especially women) had been expected to react negatively to the Gillian Duffy incident. I is also worth noting that Labour's vote still fell - with the the ''Times Guide'' indicating they were down about 4.5%, but the Lib Dem vote fell further by over 6% - other parties - notably the Conservatives - picked up these votes. Not sure how this could be best incorporated (if needed) in the article, but the statement as it stands is (I am sure totally unintentionally) misleading.

== Image for Nick Clegg in infobox ==

Is this the best image available for use on Wikipedia of Nick Clegg? This image looks quite low-quality and blurry looking closer. I cannot find many high-quality images of Nick Clegg before 2010 or around the time of the election though. [[User:Qwerty123M|Qwerty123M]] ([[User talk:Qwerty123M|talk]]) 00:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

== Notional seat changes ==

People keep changing the notional seat changes in the infobox, presumably because they don't understand the concept of the seat changes being notional due to boundary changes, or maybe they just haven't read the footnote. Having said that, do we have a reliable source for the notional figures?

== The results table is missing a large number of candidates ==

4,150 candidates stood in the 2010 general election ([https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7529/ source]), but the results table here only lists 3,720. [[User:The Grand Lunar|The Grand Lunar]] ([[User talk:The Grand Lunar|talk]]) 20:26, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

'''Henry Mayers Hyndman''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|aɪ|n|d|m|ə|n}}; 7 March 1842 – 22 November 1921) was an English writer, politician and [[Socialism|socialist]].

Originally a [[Conservative Party (UK)|conservative]], he was converted to [[History of the socialist movement in the United Kingdom|socialism]] by [[Karl Marx]]'s ''[[Communist Manifesto]]'' and launched Britain's first socialist political party, the Democratic Federation, later known as the [[Social Democratic Federation]], in 1881.

Although this body attracted radicals such as [[William Morris]] and [[George Lansbury]], Hyndman was generally disliked as an authoritarian who could not unite his party. Nonetheless, Hyndman was the first author to popularise Marx's works in English.

== Early life ==
The son of a wealthy businessman, Hyndman was born on 7 March 1842 in London. After being educated at home, he entered [[Trinity College, Cambridge]].<ref>{{acad|id=HNDN861HM|name=Hyndman, Henry Mayers}}</ref> Hyndman later recalled:

<blockquote>I had the ordinary education of a well-to-do boy and young man. I read mathematics hard until I went to Cambridge, where I ought, of course, to have read them harder, and then I gave them up altogether and devoted myself to amusement and general literature. ... Trinity or, for that matter, any other college, is practically a hot-bed of reaction from the social point of view. The young men regard all who are not technically "gentlemen" as "cads," just as the [[Athenians]] counted all who were not [[Greeks]] as [[barbarian]]s.

I was a thorough-going Radical and Republican in those days—theoretically ... with a great admiration for [[John Stuart Mill]], and later, I remember, I regarded [[John Morley]] as the coming man.<ref>[[Harry Quelch|H. Quelch]], "H. M. Hyndman: An Interview", ''The Comrade'', (New York), February 1902, p. 114.</ref></blockquote>

After his graduation in 1865, Hyndman studied law for two years before deciding to become a journalist. As a [[first-class cricket]]er, he represented [[Cambridge University Cricket Club|Cambridge University]], [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] (MCC) and [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] in thirteen matches as a right-handed [[batsman]] between 1864 and 1865.

In 1866, Hyndman reported on the [[Third Italian War of Independence|Italian war with Austria]] for ''[[The Pall Mall Gazette]]''. Hyndman was horrified by the reality of war and became violently ill after visiting the front line. Hyndman met the leaders of the Italian nationalist movement and was generally sympathetic to their cause.

In 1869, Hyndman toured the world, visiting the United States, Australia and several European countries. He continued to write for ''The Pall Mall Gazette'', where he praised the [[British Empire]] and criticised those advocating for [[Irish Home Rule movement|Irish Home Rule]]. Hyndman was also very opposed to [[politics of the United States]].

Hyndman married Matilda Ware (c. 1846–1913) in 1876<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://powys.org/pl_tree/ps56/ps56_288.html|title=Genealogy of Henry Hyndman}}</ref> and then [[Rosalind Travers Hyndman|Rosalind Travers]] (c. 1875–1923) in 1914.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/hmhyndmanbritish0000chus/page/215/mode/1up |title=H.

== Political career ==
[[File:Henry Hyndman 0001.jpg|thumb|Hyndman, c. 1895]]
Hyndman decided on a career in politics. Unable to find a party that he could fully support, he decided to stand as an independent for the constituency of [[Marylebone (UK Parliament constituency)|Marylebone]] in the [[1880 United Kingdom general election|1880 general election]]. Denounced as a [[Tory]] by [[William Ewart Gladstone]], Hyndman gained very limited support from the electorate and withdrew from the contest, facing certain defeat.

Soon after the election, Hyndman read a novel based on the life of [[Ferdinand Lassalle]]. He became fascinated with Lassalle and decided to research this [[romantic hero]] who had been killed in a [[duel]] in 1864. Discovering that Lassalle had been a socialist, sometimes a friend and sometimes an adversary of [[Karl Marx]], Hyndman read ''[[The Communist Manifesto]]''. Although he had doubts about some of Marx's ideas, Hyndman was greatly impressed by his analysis of capitalism.

Hyndman was also greatly influenced by the book ''[[Progress and Poverty]]'' and the ideology of [[Henry George]] known today as [[Georgism]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Kohl | first = Norbert | title = Oscar Wilde: the works of a conformist rebel | publisher = Cambridge University Press | location =Cambridge, UK | year = 2011 | isbn = 978-0521176538 }}</ref>

Hyndman decided to form Britain's first socialist political party. The [[Social Democratic Federation]] (SDF) had its first meeting on 7 June 1881. Many socialists were concerned that in the past Hyndman had been opposed to socialist ideas, but Hyndman persuaded many that he had genuinely changed his views and those who eventually joined the SDF included [[William Morris]] and Karl Marx's daughter [[Eleanor Marx]]. However, [[Friedrich Engels]], Marx's long-term collaborator, refused to support Hyndman's venture.

Hyndman wrote the first popularisation of the ideas of Karl Marx in the English language with ''England for All'' in 1881. The book was extremely successful, a fact that stoked Marx's antipathy, given the fact that he had failed to credit Marx by name in the introduction. The work was followed in 1883 by ''Socialism Made Plain'' which expounded the policies of what by then had been renamed as the SDF. They included a demand for [[universal suffrage]] and the [[nationalisation]] of the [[means of production]] and distribution. The SDF also published ''[[Justice (newspaper)|Justice]]'', edited by the journalist [[Henry Hyde Champion]].

Many members of the SDF questioned Hyndman's leadership qualities. He was extremely [[authoritarian]] and tried to restrict internal debate about party policy. At an SDF meeting on 27 December 1884, the executive voted by a majority of two (10–8) that it had [[no confidence]] in Hyndman. When he refused to resign, some members, including William Morris and Eleanor Marx, left the party, forming the [[Socialist League (UK, 1885)|Socialist League]].

In the [[1885 United Kingdom general election|1885 general election]], Hyndman and Henry Hyde Champion, without consulting their colleagues, accepted £340 from the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]] to run parliamentary candidates in [[Hampstead]] and [[Kensington]], the objective being to split the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] vote and therefore enable the Conservative candidate to win. This ploy failed and the two SDF's candidates won only a total of 59 votes. The story leaked out and the political reputation of both men suffered because they had accepted "Tory gold".

During the 1880s, Hyndman was a prominent member of the [[Irish National Land League]] and the Land League of Great Britain. He took part in the unemployed demonstrations of 1887 and was put on trial for his share in the West End Riots of 1886, but he was acquitted.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Record of an Adventurous Life |url=https://www.marxists.org/archive/hyndman/1911/adventure/chap24.html |page=367 |year=1911}}</ref><ref name=eb>{{Cite EB1922|wstitle=Hyndman, Henry Mayers}}</ref>

Hyndman was chairman at the [[International Socialist Workers and Trade Union Congress, London 1896|International Socialist Congress]] held in London in 1896. He was pro-[[Boer]] during the [[second Boer War]].<ref name=nie>{{Cite NIE|wstitle=Hyndman, Henry Mayers|year=1905}}</ref>

Hyndman continued to lead the SDF and took part in the negotiations to establish the [[Labour Representation Committee (1900)|Labour Representation Committee]] (LRC) in 1900. However, the SDF left the LRC when it became clear that it was deviating from the objectives he had set out. In 1911, he set up the [[British Socialist Party]] (BSP) when the SDF fused with a number of branches of the [[Independent Labour Party]].

== Political thought ==
[[File:Henry Mayers Hyndman 1842-1921 Socialist Leader lived and died here.jpg|thumb|[[Blue plaque]] commemorating Hyndman in [[Well Walk]], [[Hampstead]]]]
Hyndman thought was influenced by [[John Stuart Mill]] and his protégé [[John Morley]] as well as [[Sir Charles Dilke, 2nd Baronet|Charles Dilke]], [[Henry Fawcett]] and [[Giuseppe Mazzini]], [[Karl Marx]] "erstwhile adversary" at the time of the [[First International]]. According to Hyndman, "Mazzini's greatness ... was obscured for younger socialists by his 'opposition to Marx in the early days of the 'International,' and his vigorous condemnation a little later of the [[Paris Commune]]", insisting that "'Mazzini's conception of the conduct of human life' had been 'a high and noble one'", praising the "No duties without rights" mention in the "General Rules" that Marx composed and passed as "a concession Marx made to Mazzini's followers within the organisation". [[Friedrich Engels]], Marx's collaborator, "censured Hyndman's Mazzinian moralism" and also accused Hyndman of "jingo aspiration". Seamus Flaherty argues that "Hyndman's views on the beneficence of the 'great democracies of the English speaking peoples'" were inspired not by [[Benjamin Disraeli]] as historians such as [[Mark Bevir]] have argued, but rather by Dilke and Mill, whom Hyndman combined their ideas "on the unique character of 'the Angloe-Saxon race' with Mazzini's cosmopolitan patriotism, thus constructing a nationalism fully compatible with 'a good internationalism'.<ref>Flaherty, Seamus (2020). ''Marx, Engels and Modern British Socialism: The Social and Political Thought of H. M. Hyndman, E. B. Bax and William Morris''. London: Springer Nature. pp. 29–30. {{ISBN|9783030423391}}.</ref>

In his two volume autobiography, Hyndman spoke at length about Mazzini, even comparing him to Marx. For [[Vladimir Lenin]], "that Hyndman should do so was preposterous; more astonishing still was that Hyndman should ''admire'' Mazzini". However, Flaherty writes that "when situated within its proper context, Hyndman's 'intellectual republicanism', so far from being unintelligible, is predictable, insofar as it was characteristic of mid-Victorian liberalism. Lenin's view was anachronistic. Similarly anachronistic was Lenin's complaint that Hyndman 'very poorly understood in 1880 ... the difference between a bourgeois democratic and a socialist'. For the difference was, often, not clear-cut; many socialist, including Marx, accepted the representative state. The 'association between Marx and a 'Marxist' language of revolution' was, in the main, a twentieth-century invention, which Lenin in no small part helped to create. And Marx himself, moreover, allayed Hyndman's fears about the necessity of revolution in England, stating that he considered 'an English revolution not ''necessary'', but according to historic precedents—''possible''{{'}}".<ref>Flaherty, Seamus (2020). ''Marx, Engels and Modern British Socialism: The Social and Political Thought of H. M. Hyndman, E. B. Bax and William Morris''. London: Springer Nature. p. 30. {{ISBN|9783030423391}}.</ref>

== Controversy ==
=== Antisemitism ===
[[File:Henry Mayers Hyndman by Sydney Prior Hall.jpg|thumb|Hyndman by [[Sydney Prior Hall]]]]
Hyndman was an [[Antisemitism|antisemite]], voicing antisemitic opinions with regard to the [[Second Boer War]] and blaming "Jewish bankers" and "[[Imperialism|imperialist]] Judaism" as the cause of the conflict.<ref>Mcgeever, Brendan, and Satnam Virdee. "Antisemitism and Socialist Strategy in Europe, 1880–1917: An Introduction." Patterns of Prejudice 51.3-4 (2017): 229</ref> Hyndman charged "[[Otto Beit|Beit]], [[Barney Barnato|Barnato]] and their fellow-Jews" as aiming to create "an Anglo-Hebraic Empire in Africa [[Cape to Cairo Railway|stretching from Egypt to Cape Colony]]".<ref>Hirshfield. Claire. 'The Anglo-Boer War and the issue of Jewish culpability', Journal of Contemporary History 15.4 (1980):621</ref>

Hyndman believed Jews were central to "a sinister 'gold international' opposed to the 'red international' of socialism".<ref name=Virdee362>Virdee, Satnam. "Socialist Antisemitism and Its Discontents in England, 1884–98." Patterns of Prejudice 51.3-4 (2017):362</ref> Hyndman supported the antisemitic Viennese riots of 1885, arguing that they represented a blow against Jewish finance capital.<ref name=Virdee362/> Hyndman repeatedly denounced what he saw as the overwhelming power of "capitalist Jews on the London Press", believing that the "Semitic lords of the press" had created war in South Africa.<ref name=Hirshfield>Hirshfield. Claire. 'The Anglo-Boer War and the issue of Jewish culpability', Journal of Contemporary History 15.4 (1980):622</ref> Hyndman remained committed to conspiracies concerning Jews, remarking that "unless you said that they [Jews] were the most capable and brilliant people of the earth, you had the whole of their international agencies against you".<ref name=Hirshfield/>

Such antisemitism disillusioned erstwhile supporters. [[Eleanor Marx]] wrote privately to [[Wilhelm Liebknecht]] that "Mr Hyndman whenever he could do with impunity has endeavoured to set English workmen against foreigners".<ref name=Virdee>Virdee, Satnam. "Socialist Antisemitism and Its Discontents in England, 1884–98." Patterns of Prejudice 51.3-4 (2017):363</ref> Hyndman had previously attacked Eleanor Marx in antisemitic terms, noting that she had "inherited in her nose and mouth the Jewish type from [[Karl Marx|Marx]] himself".<ref name=Virdee/>

=== After the war ===
Hyndman upset members of the BSP by supporting the United Kingdom's involvement in [[World War I]]. The party split in two, with Hyndman forming a new [[National Socialist Party (UK)|National Socialist Party]]. Hyndman remained leader of the small party until his death from pneumonia at his home in [[Well Walk]], Hampstead, on 22 November 1921.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/evening-standard-father-of-british-socia/141248715/ |title=Father of British Socialism |newspaper=[[Evening Standard]] |publication-place=London |page=3 |date=1921-11-22 |access-date=2024-02-17 |via=Newspapers.com |quote=Mr. H.

The '''2024 United Kingdom local elections''' are due to take place on 2 May 2024. Elections will take place for councils and [[mayors in England]] and [[Police and crime commissioner|police and crime commissioners]] in [[England]] and [[Wales]].

The majority of these elections have last been held in the [[2021 United Kingdom local elections|2021 local elections]], delayed by a year from 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom|COVID-19 pandemic]].

==Background==
===Significance of these elections===
When these elections were last held in 2021 the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] had made significant gains, mainly at the expense of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]]. Since then the Conservative Party had several high-profile [[List of political scandals in the United Kingdom#2020s|political scandals]] and [[2022 United Kingdom government crisis (disambiguation)|crises]] and had seen a significant decrease to their popularity in [[Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election|opinion polling]]. This was reflected in the poor results for the Conservative Party at both the [[2022 United Kingdom local elections|2022]] and 2023 local elections. As a result of the 2023 local elections, Labour had become the party with most members elected to local government for the first time since [[2002 United Kingdom local elections|2002]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Local elections 2023: Labour overtakes Conservatives as largest party of local government |url=https://news.sky.com/story/local-elections-2023-tories-lose-control-of-three-councils-as-labour-gains-key-authority-and-wins-mayoral-race-in-early-results-12873352 |access-date=2023-09-08 |website=Sky News |language=en}}</ref>

These are to be the second set of local elections held under the [[Elections Act 2022]], a [[voter identification law]] that was controversial,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kerslake |first=Bob |date=2022-04-06 |title=With all eyes on Ukraine, the UK is quietly set to disenfranchise 2 million citizens |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/06/elections-bill-anti-democratic-lords-challenge-voters |access-date=2023-09-08 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-05-05 |title=Local elections 2023: Voters express anger at ID rule changes |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65492275 |access-date=2023-09-08}}</ref> meaning voters are required to show photo ID when attending a polling station. This also means that the mayoral and police and crime commissioner elections will use a [[First-past-the-post voting|first-past-the-post]] voting system rather than the previously used [[supplementary vote]] system.

Unless a [[general election]] is called beforehand, these local elections are to be the last set of routine elections before the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]]. For this reason the results are likely to significantly influence both the date the general election is scheduled for<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adam Boulton: MPs returning to Westminster are already embroiled in a bitterly contentious campaign to election day |url=https://news.sky.com/story/adam-boulton-mps-are-heading-back-to-westminster-but-are-they-all-keeping-an-eye-on-a-looming-election-12952183 |access-date=2023-09-08 |website=Sky News |language=en}}</ref> and the election strategies for each party.

Some Conservatives suggested framing the [[2024 London mayoral election|London Mayoral election]] as a [[de facto]] referendum on the [[Ultra Low Emission Zone|ULEZ]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hill |first=Dave |date=2023-03-14 |title=London Conservatives think out loud about how to beat Sadiq Khan |url=https://www.onlondon.co.uk/london-conservatives-think-out-loud-about-how-to-beat-sadiq-khan/ |access-date=2023-09-08 |website=OnLondon |language=en-GB}}</ref> which could have significant impacts on parties' attitudes towards [[environmental policy]].

In late 2023 Labour suggested persistently high interest rates were going to cause a surge in mortgage costs affecting 630,000 homeowners who would remortgage between then and the local elections in May. They described the situation as a "financial timebomb" and implied this would influence the electorate in the elections.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Partington |first=Richard |date=2023-11-02 |title=Labour says 630,000 will be hit by surge in mortgage costs before 2024 elections |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/02/labour-says-630000-will-be-hit-by-surge-in-mortgage-costs-before-2024-elections |access-date=2023-11-03 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

==England==
===Metropolitan boroughs===
There are thirty-six metropolitan boroughs, which are single-tier local authorities. Thirty of them elect a third of their councillors every year for three years, with no election in each fourth year. These councils hold their elections on the same timetable, which includes elections in 2024. [[Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council]] holds its elections on a four-year cycle from 2016, so is also due to hold an election in 2024.

Due to boundary changes, some other councils which generally elect their councillors in thirds will elect all of their councillors in 2024.

===Unitary authorities===

There are sixty-two unitary authorities, which are single-tier local authorities. Fifteen of them elect a third of their councillors every year for three years, with no election in each fourth year. These councils hold their elections on the same timetable, which includes elections in 2024. Two unitary authorities hold all-out elections on a four-year cycle that includes 2024, and the recently-established [[Dorset Council (UK)|Dorset Council]] held its first election in 2019, with its next election in 2024 and subsequent elections every four years from 2029.

=== District councils ===

There are 164 district councils, which are the lower tier local authorities in a two-tier system, with county councils above them. Forty-eight elect their councillors in thirds and seven elect their councillors in halves. Three district councils elect all their councillors on a four-year cycle that includes 2024, with [[North Hertfordshire]] changing from the thirds system for the first time. Due to boundary changes, some other councils which usually elect their councillors in thirds or halves will elect all of their councillors in 2024.

'''Abram Games''' {{Post-nominals|post-noms=[[Order of the British Empire|OBE]], [[Royal Designers for Industry|RDI]]}} (29 July 1914{{spnd}}27 August 1996) was a British [[graphic designer]]. The style of his work – refined but vigorous compared to the work of contemporaries – has earned him a place in the pantheon of the best of 20th-century graphic designers. In acknowledging his power as a propagandist, he claimed, "I wind the spring and the public, in looking at the poster, will have that spring released in its mind." Because of the length of his career – over six decades – his work is essentially a record of the era's social history. Some of Britain's most iconic images include those by Games. An example is the "Join the ATS" poster of 1941, nicknamed the "blonde bombshell" recruitment poster. His work is recognised for its "striking colour, bold graphic ideas, and beautifully integrated typography".<ref name="Souter, Nick and Tessa 2012 203">{{cite book|last=Souter, Nick and Tessa|title=The Illustration Handbook: A Guide to the World's Greatest Illustrators|year=2012|publisher=Oceana|isbn=978-1-84573-473-2|pages=203}}</ref>

==Early life and career==
Born '''Abraham Gamse''' in [[Whitechapel]], London on 29 July, the day after [[World War I]] began in 1914, he was the son of Joseph Gamse, a [[Latvians|Latvian]] photographer, and Sarah, ''nee'' Rosenberg, a [[seamstress]] born on the border of Russia and Poland. His father, who had emigrated to Britain in 1904, anglicised the family name to Games when Abram was 12.<ref name="design">{{cite web | url=http://www.designmuseum.org/design/abram-games | title=Abram Games | publisher=[[Design Museum]] | date=2003 | accessdate=14 November 2014}}</ref> Games left [[Hackney Downs School]] at the age of 16 and, in 1930, went to [[Saint Martin's School of Art]] in London. Disillusioned by the teaching at Saint Martin's and worried about the expense of studying there, Games left after two terms.<ref name="RSlocombe">{{cite book|author=Richard Slocombe|publisher=Imperial War Museum|year=2014|title=British Posters of the Second World War |ISBN=978-1-904897-92-7}}</ref> However, Games was determined to establish himself as a poster artist so while working as a "studio boy" for the commercial design firm [[Askew-Young]] in London between 1932 and 1936, he attended night classes in life drawing. He was fired from this position due to his jumping over four chairs as a prank.<ref name=design/> In 1934, his entry was second in the [[Health Council Competition]] and, in 1935, won a poster competition for the [[London County Council]].<ref name=UOBag>{{cite web |author=|url=http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/collections/design-archives/resources/rdis-at-britain-can-make-it,-1946/abram-games |title=Abram Games|date= |accessdate=7 November 2016|work=University of Brighton Design Archives}}</ref> From 1936 to 1940, he worked on his own as a freelance poster artist. An article on him in the influential journal ''Art and Industry'' in 1937 led to several high-profile commissions for Games, from the [[General Post Office]], [[London Transport (brand)|London Transport]], [[Royal Dutch Shell]] and others.<ref name="Indie"/>

==World War Two==
[[File:Join the Ats Art.IWMPST2832.jpg|thumb|''Join the ATS'' (1941) Art.IWMPST2832]]
At the start of World War Two, Games was conscripted into the British Army. He served until 1941 when he was approached by the Public Relations Department of the [[War Office]] who were looking for a graphic designer to produce a recruitment poster for the Royal Armoured Corps. From 1942 Games's service as the [[Official War Artist]] for posters resulted in 100 or so posters.<ref name="Pulp">{{cite news|author=Smith, David|date=30 September 2007|title=Poster Churchill pulped on show|work=[[The Observer]]|accessdate=27 August 2013|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2007/sep/30/uk.past}}</ref> Games was allowed a great deal of artistic freedom which enabled him to produce many striking images, often with surrealist elements. Among his first designs was the [[Auxiliary Territorial Service]] recruitment poster that became known as the ''blonde bombshell''. Games had wanted to challenge the rather drab image of the ATS but the authorities feared that the glamorous image he had produced would encourage young women to join the ATS for the "wrong reasons" and the poster was quickly withdrawn.<ref name="RSlocombe"/><ref name="Foss">{{cite book|author=Brain Foss|publisher=Yale University Press|year=2007|title=War paint: Art, War, State and Identity in Britain, 1939-1945 |ISBN=978-0-300-10890-3}}</ref> The design Games replaced it with was criticised by [[Winston Churchill]] as being too "Soviet".

Other notable posters included ''Your Talk May Kill Your Comrades'' (1942) in which a spiral symbolising gossip originates from a soldiers mouth to become a bayonet attacking three of his comrades. Games used the photographic techniques he had learnt from his father in that and other posters such as ''He Talked...They Died'' (1943) part of the ''Careless Talk'' campaign.<ref name="Indie">{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-abraham-games-1311967.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161029114454/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-abraham-games-1311967.html |archive-date=2016-10-29 |url-access=limited |url-status=live |title=Obituary:Abraham Games|author=Alan & Isabella Livingston|date=28 August 1996|work=The Independent|accessdate=15 February 2016}}</ref> In addition to his poster work, Games completed a number of commissions for the [[War Artists' Advisory Committee]].<ref name="Foss"/>

Later in the War, Churchill ordered a poster Games had produced to be taken off the wall of the ''Poster Design in Wartime Britain'' exhibition at Harrods in 1943. The [[Army Bureau of Current Affairs]], ABCA, had commissioned Games and [[Frank Parkinson Newbould|Frank Newbould]] to produce posters for a series entitled ''Your Britain - Fight for It Now''. While Newbould produced rural images similar to the pre-war travel posters he had created for several railway companies, Games presented a set of three Modernist buildings that had been built to address poverty, disease and deprivation. The poster that annoyed Churchill most featured the [[Berthold Lubetkin]] designed [[Finsbury Health Centre]] superseding a ruined building with a child suffering from rickets. Churchill considered this nothing short of a libel on the conditions in British cities and ordered the poster to be removed.<ref name="RSlocombe"/><ref name="Pulp"/> [[Ernest Bevin]], the war-time [[Secretary of State for Employment|Minister of Labour]], had another poster in the series removed from the ''Poster Design in Wartime Britain'' exhibition organised by the Association of International Artists.<ref name="ODNBag">{{cite book|editor= HCG Matthew & Brian Harrison|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2004|title=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Vol 21 (Freudy-Gibberd)|ISBN=0-19-861371-7}}</ref>

==Later career==
[[File:Festival of Britain.JPG|thumb|The [[Festival of Britain]] emblem – the [[Festival Star]] – designed by Abram Games, from the cover of the South Bank Exhibition Guide, 1951]]
In 1946, Games resumed his freelance practice and worked for clients such as Royal Dutch Shell, the ''[[Financial Times]]'', [[Guinness]], [[British Airways]], London Transport and [[El Al]].<ref name=UOBag/> He designed stamps for Britain, Ireland, Israel, Jersey and Portugal.<ref name="Souter, Nick and Tessa 2012 203"/> Also, he designed the logo for the [[JFS (school)|JFS]] school. There were also book jackets for [[Penguin Books]] and logos for the 1951 [[Festival of Britain]] (winning the 1948 competition) and for the 1965 [[Queen's Award to Industry]]. Among his pioneering contributions was, in 1954, the first moving on-screen symbol of BBC Television. He also produced murals. Between 1946 and 1953, Games was a visiting lecturer in graphic design at London's [[Royal College of Art]] and in 1958, was awarded the [[OBE]] for services to graphic design. In 1959, he was appointed a [[Royal Designer for Industry]] (RDI).<ref name="Souter, Nick and Tessa 2012 203"/> He also designed the tile motif of a swan on the [[Victoria line]] platforms at [[Stockwell tube station]] in the late 1960s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://golondon.about.com/od/Victoria-Line-Tile-Motifs/ss/Stockwell.htm|title=Stockwell - Victoria Line Tile Motifs|publisher=Go London|accessdate=27 May 2016|archive-date=26 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160126022108/http://golondon.about.com/od/Victoria-Line-Tile-Motifs/ss/Stockwell.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Games had been among the first in Britain to see evidence of the atrocities committed at the [[Bergen-Belsen concentration camp]], when photographs taken there by British troops arrived at the War Office in 1945. The same year he produced a poster, ''Give Clothing for Liberated Jewry'', and would often work to support Jewish and Israeli organisations.<ref name="ODNBag"/> Games, who was Jewish, spent some time in Israel in the 1950s where, among other activities, he designed stamps for the Israeli Post Office, including for the [[Conquest of the Desert (exhibition)|1953 Conquest of the Desert]] exhibition<ref name="stamp">{{cite web|url=http://www.boeliem.com/content/1953/93.html|title=Exhibition 'Conquest Of The Desert'|accessdate=22 November 2014}}</ref> and taught a course in postage-stamp design. He also designed covers for ''[[The Jewish Chronicle]]'' and prayer book prints for the [[Reform Synagogues of Great Britain]].<ref name="Moore"/> In 1960, Games designed the poster known as ''Freedom from Hunger'' for the [[Food and Agriculture Organization]] of the United Nations.<ref name="Moore">{{cite news |author=Moore, Rowan |url= https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/aug/23/abram-games-poster-graphic-design-principles |title=Abram Games, the poster boy with principles |date=23 August 2014|accessdate=24 August 2014|work=[[The Observer]] }}</ref>

Games was also an industrial designer of sorts. Activities in this discipline included the design of the 1947 Cona [[vacuum coffee maker]] (produced from 1949, reworked in 1959 and still in production) and inventions such as a circular vacuum cleaner and an early 1960s portable handheld [[duplicating machine]] by [[Gestetner]], which was not put into production due to the demise of mimeography.

In arriving at a poster design, Games would render up to 30 small preliminary sketches and then combine two or three into the final one. In the developmental process, he would work small because, he asserted, if poster designs "don't work an inch high, they will never work." He would also call on a large number of photographic images as source material. Purportedly, if a client rejected a proposed design (which seldom occurred), Games would resign and suggest that the client commission someone else.

In 2013, the [[National Army Museum]], London, acquired a collection of his posters, each signed by Games and in mint condition.<ref name="NAM">{{cite news|author= Kennedy, Maeve|date=23 August 2013|title=Poster girl of ATS joins National Army Museum|work=[[The Guardian]]|accessdate=23 August 2013|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/aug/23/poster-girl-ats-national-army-museum}}</ref>

The [[Coronation of the British monarch|coronation]] of [[Charles III]] and his wife, [[Queen Camilla|Camilla]], as [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|king]] and [[List of British royal consorts|queen]] of the United Kingdom and the other [[Commonwealth realm]]s, took place on Saturday, 6 May 2023, at [[Westminster Abbey]]. Charles [[Succession to the British throne|acceded to the throne]] on 8 September 2022 upon the [[Death and state funeral of Elizabeth II|death of his mother]], [[Elizabeth II]].

The ceremony was structured around an [[Anglican]] service of [[Holy Communion]]. It included Charles's taking an oath, being [[anointed]] with [[Holy anointing oil#In Christianity|holy oil]], and receiving the [[Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom|coronation regalia]], emphasising his spiritual role and secular responsibilities.{{efn|The [[monarch of the United Kingdom]] is the [[supreme governor of the Church of England]] and is styled the [[Defender of the Faith]].}} Representatives of the [[Church of England]] and the [[British royal family]] declared their allegiance to him, and people throughout the Commonwealth realms were invited to do so. Camilla was crowned in a shorter and simpler ceremony. After the service, members of the [[British royal family|royal family]] travelled to [[Buckingham Palace]] in a state procession and appeared on the palace's rear and front balconies. The service was altered from past British coronations to represent multiple faiths, cultures, and communities across the United Kingdom; it was shorter than [[Elizabeth II's coronation]] in 1953, and had a peak domestic television audience of 20.4 million, making it the most watched television broadcast in the country in 2023.<ref>{{cite news |title= 2023 marks an outstanding year of British creativity on BBC TV |url= https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2023/outstanding-year-of-creativity-british-tv |work=BBC |date= 19 December 2023 |access-date= 20 December 2023 }}</ref>

The coronation elicited both celebrations and protest in the United Kingdom, with surveys carried out before the event suggesting that the British public was ambivalent towards the ceremony and its funding by taxpayers. The events in London and Windsor drew large crowds, but were also protested against by [[Republicanism in the United Kingdom|republican groups]]; 64 individuals were arrested on the day, which was criticised by the international advocacy group [[Human Rights Watch]]. Other celebrations included street parties, volunteering, special commemorative [[church service]]s, and [[Coronation Concert|a concert]] at [[Windsor Castle]] on 7 May. The response in the other Commonwealth realms was similarly mixed; while there were many celebrations, some government officials and indigenous groups took the opportunity to voice republican sentiments and call for [[reparatory justice]]. It was the first British coronation in the 21st century and the 40th to be held at Westminster Abbey since the [[coronation of William the Conqueror]] in 1066.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/coronations-at-the-abbey/a-history-of-coronations |title=A history of coronations |author= |date=2023 |website=www.westminster-abbey.org |publisher=Dean and Chapter of Westminster |access-date=19 March 2023 |archive-date=15 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230315011232/https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/coronations-at-the-abbey/a-history-of-coronations |url-status=live }}</ref>{{efn|King [[Harold Godwinson]] was almost certainly crowned at the newly consecrated Westminster Abbey in January 1066, although this is not specifically confirmed by any contemporary source.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gosling |first=Lucinda |year=2013 |title=Royal Coronations|location=Oxford |publisher=Shire |isbn=978-0-74781-220-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2GqHCwAAQBAJ |page=7}}</ref> If Harold's coronation is included, this was the 41st at the abbey.}}

===Cost===
As a state event, the event was paid for by the British government as well as Buckingham Palace through the [[Sovereign Grant]] and [[Privy Purse]].

The service, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, began with the King and Queen having a silent moment of prayer before seating themselves on their chairs of estate, made for the 1953 coronation.<ref name="order-of-service" /><ref name="Coronation-Weekend">{{Cite press release |title=Coronation Weekend plans announced |url=https://www.royal.uk/coronation-weekend-plans-announced |work=The Royal Family |date=21 January 2023 |access-date=21 January 2023 |archive-date=21 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230121223333/https://www.royal.uk/coronation-weekend-plans-announced |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="royal-chairs">{{cite web|url=https://www.royal.uk/news-and-activity/2023-05-01/historic-chairs-to-be-reused-for-the-coronation|title=Historic chairs to be reused for the Coronation|work=The Royal Family|date=1 May 2023|access-date=1 May 2023|archive-date=1 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230501152155/https://www.royal.uk/news-and-activity/2023-05-01/historic-chairs-to-be-reused-for-the-coronation|url-status=live}}</ref> In a new element of the service, the king was welcomed by one of the [[Children of the Chapel]], to which he replied that he came "[[Son of man came to serve|not to be served but to serve]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-events/news/2023/articles/service-the-central-theme-of-coronation-liturgy |title=Service the central theme of Coronation Liturgy |author= |date=29 April 2023 |website=www.churchofscotland.org.uk |publisher=The Church Of Scotland |access-date=11 May 2023}}</ref> Paul Mealor's "Coronation [[Kyrie]]" was sung in [[Welsh language|Welsh]] by Sir Bryn Terfel.

=== Oath and accession declaration ===
The Archbishop of Canterbury acknowledged the existence of multiple faiths and beliefs in the United Kingdom.<ref name="timetable" /> Charles then took the [[Coronation oath of the British monarch|coronation oath]], in which he swore to govern each of his countries according to their respective laws and customs, to administer law and justice with mercy, and to uphold Protestantism in the United Kingdom and protect the Church of England. Subsequently, he made the statutory [[Accession Declaration|accession declaration]].<ref name="order-of-service" /> Charles then signed a written form of the oath, before kneeling before the altar and saying a prayer.<ref name="order-of-service" />

The service of Holy Communion then continued. The Archbishop of Canterbury delivered the [[collect]], and the [[Epistle#Liturgical use|epistle]] and [[gospel]] were read by the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|prime minister]], [[Rishi Sunak]], and the [[bishop of London]], [[Sarah Mullally]], respectively.<ref name="order-of-service" /> This was followed by a [[sermon]] by the Archbishop of Canterbury.<ref name="order-of-service" />

=== Anointing ===
Charles removed his robe of state and was seated on the [[Coronation Chair]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Coronation Chair |url=https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/the-coronation-chair |website=Westminster Abbey |access-date=23 January 2023 |archive-date=21 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230221133911/https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/the-coronation-chair |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Lambdin |first1=Laura C. |last2=Lambdin |first2=Robert T. |year=2013 |title=Encyclopedia of Medieval Literature |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A_fAzqriYGoC&dq=edward+killed+llywelyn+and+wallace&pg=PA512 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-136-59425-0 |pages=512 |access-date=29 January 2023 |archive-date=16 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230216175012/https://books.google.com/books?id=A_fAzqriYGoC&dq=edward+killed+llywelyn+and+wallace&pg=PA512 |url-status=live }}</ref> He then was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury, using the ampulla and a medieval spoon, the latter the oldest part of the coronation regalia. The anointing emphasised the spiritual role of the sovereign. It was a private part of the service; as in 1953 it was not televised, and Charles was concealed by a screen. During this the choir sang the anthem ''[[Zadok the Priest]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-05/23-24132%20Coronation%20Liturgy%20Commentary_05%20May.pdf |title=The Authorised Liturgy for the Coronation Rite of His Majesty King Charles III (with Commentary) |year=2023 |pages=15–17 |access-date=5 May 2023 |archive-date=6 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230506030525/https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-05/23-24132%20Coronation%20Liturgy%20Commentary_05%20May.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Coronation of the Queen ===
[[File:Queen Mary's Crown.png|thumb|[[Queen Mary's Crown]] (here depicted in its original form) was used to crown Queen Camilla]]

This was the first coronation of a consort since that of [[Coronation of George VI and Elizabeth|Charles's grandmother Queen Elizabeth in 1937]].<ref name="Dixon"/>

=== Holy Communion ===
The offertory followed, during which gifts of bread and wine were brought before the King and prayed over; the prayer was a translation from the ''[[Liber Regalis]]'', which dates from {{circa|1382}} and is one of the oldest sources for the English coronation service.<ref name="order-of-service" /> Charles and Camilla then received Holy Communion from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the congregation recited the [[Lord's Prayer]], before a final blessing.<ref name="order-of-service" />

=== End of the service ===
At the end of the service the King changed into the [[Imperial State Crown]], during which the congregation sang [[Praise, my soul, the King of heaven]].<ref>{{cite web |date=3 December 2022 |title=Historic crown to be modified for King Charles's coronation |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/historic-crown-be-modified-king-charless-coronation-2022-12-03/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221205023734/https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/historic-crown-be-modified-king-charless-coronation-2022-12-03/ |archive-date=5 December 2022 |access-date=5 December 2022 |work=Reuters}}</ref> Charles and Camilla then proceeded to the west door of the abbey as the national anthem, "[[God Save the King]]", was sung.

=== State procession to Buckingham Palace ===
The second procession followed the same route as the first, but in reverse and on a larger scale. The King and Queen were carried in the [[Gold State Coach]], drawn by eight Windsor Grey horses, with other members of the royal family in other vehicles, including the [[Australian State Coach]], the [[Irish State Coach]] and the [[Scottish State Coach]].<ref name="procession-RF" />

[[File:The Canadian Coronation Emblem.jpg|thumb|upright|The Canadian coronation emblem]]
A Canadian coronation emblem was created by [[Cathy Bursey-Sabourin]], [[Fraser Herald of Arms]], and registered with the [[Canadian Heraldic Authority]]. It includes Charles III's royal cypher inside a ring of 13 triangular shapes, the number corresponding to Canada's provinces and territories. The circular arrangement symbolises inclusion and the Indigenous concept of equity and the natural world's cycles. The colour green is a reference to the King's commitment to the natural environment, while the white spaces may be viewed as a sunburst, symbolising innovation and new ideas.<ref>{{cite web |date=5 April 2023 |title=The Canadian Coronation Emblem |url=https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/coronation-his-majesty-king-canada/emblem.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405193758/https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/coronation-his-majesty-king-canada/emblem.html |archive-date=5 April 2023 |access-date=5 April 2023 |work=Government of Canada}}</ref>

===Republicanism===
[[Marlene Malahoo Forte]], the minister of legal and constitutional affairs of Jamaica, used the coronation to emphasise the Jamaican government's intention to [[Republicanism in Jamaica|transition to being a republic]] as early as 2024, and that the coronation had accelerated the government's plans for a referendum on the subject.<ref name="jamaica">{{Cite web |last=Choudhry |first=Sabah |date=4 May 2023 |title=Jamaica: King's coronation accelerates plans for Jamaican republic – with referendum 'as early as 2024' |url=https://news.sky.com/story/jamaica-kings-coronation-accelerates-plans-for-jamaican-republic-with-referendum-as-early-as-2024-12872453 |accessdate=8 May 2023 |publisher=[[Sky News]]}}</ref> A constitutional reform committee on the issue was set up earlier in 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/charles-coronation-jamaica-split-1.6830598|title=Jamaica working on split with monarchy as Charles's coronation looms|last2=Sheldon|first2=Mia|first1=Ellen|last1=Mauro|date=4 May 2023|access-date=9 May 2023}}</ref>

The prime ministers of [[Belize]], [[Saint Kitts and Nevis]], and [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]], voiced their desires for their respective countries to transition towards a republic. A constitutional commission to look into the issue was formed in November 2022 in Belize.

The farm is run by the cruel Mrs Tweedy and her submissive husband, Mr Tweedy, who kill and eat any chicken that is no longer able to lay eggs. Led by the rebellious Ginger, the chickens constantly devise new ways to try to escape but are always caught. Mr Tweedy suspects the chickens are organised and plotting resistance, but his wife dismisses his theories while being frustrated with making minuscule profits.

One night, Ginger witnesses an American rooster named Rocky Rhodes glide over the coop's fences and crash-land; the chickens put his sprained wing in a cast and hide him from the Tweedys, who have been promised a handsome reward by Rocky's owner for his return. Inspired by Rocky's apparent flying abilities, Ginger begs him to help teach her and the other chickens to fly, so they can escape. Rocky gives them training lessons. One evening, a load of equipment is delivered to the farm, containing the parts for a [[Pot pie|chicken pie]] machine that Mrs Tweedy has ordered as part of a plan to convert the farm into a profitable pie-making factory. When the Tweedys increase the chickens' food rations and ignore the decline in egg production, Ginger deduces that the couple's new plan is to fatten the chickens for slaughter. After Ginger and Rocky get into an argument, Rocky holds a morale-boosting dance party during which it is revealed that his wing is healed. Ginger insists that he demonstrate flying the next day, but Mr Tweedy finishes assembling the machine and puts Ginger in it for a test run. Rocky saves her and sabotages the machine, buying them time to warn the chickens and plan an escape from the farm.

The next day, Ginger finds Rocky has left, leaving behind part of a poster that shows that he is in fact part of a "chicken cannonball" act with no ability to fly on his own. In the midst of being devastated, Ginger is inspired by elderly rooster Fowler's stories of his time in the [[Royal Air Force]] to build an aircraft to flee the farm. The chickens assemble parts for the plane as Mr Tweedy fixes the pie-making machine. Meanwhile, Rocky comes across a billboard advertising Mrs Tweedy's chicken pies and returns to the farm out of guilt.

Mrs Tweedy orders Mr Tweedy to gather all the chickens for the machine, but the chickens subdue him and finish the plane, which Ginger persuades Fowler to pilot. As the plane approaches the take-off ramp, Mr Tweedy is able to knock over the ramp before being knocked out; Ginger races to reset the ramp, but a now-alerted Mrs Tweedy attacks her. Before Mrs Tweedy can hurt Ginger, Rocky returns and subdues her, before holding up the ramp with Ginger, allowing the plane to take flight. Rocky and Ginger grab on to the runway lights, which have been snagged by the departing plane. An axe-wielding Mrs Tweedy follows them by climbing up the lights, but Ginger tricks Mrs Tweedy into cutting the line, sending her falling into the pie machine, causing it to explode in a [[mushroom cloud]] of gravy.

The chickens celebrate their victory after defeating the Tweedys while Ginger and Rocky kiss each other, and they fly to an island [[bird sanctuary]] where they make their home. Sometime later, the chickens have settled into their new home, and Rocky and Ginger have started a romantic relationship. Nick and Fetcher, two [[rats]] that have been helping the chickens throughout the film, decide to set up their own egg farm, but they fall into a circular debate over whether they must use a [[chicken or the egg|chicken or egg]] to start it.

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave three and a half stars out of four, writing: "So it truly is a matter of life and death for the chickens to escape from the Tweedy Chicken Farm in ''Chicken Run'', a magical new animated film that looks and sounds like no other. Like the otherwise completely different ''[[Babe (film)|Babe]]'', this is a movie that uses animals as surrogates for our hopes and fears, and as the chickens run through one failed escape attempt after another, the charm of the movie wins us over."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|title=Chicken Run Movie Review & Film Summary (2000) - Roger Ebert|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=www.rogerebert.com|access-date=5 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107015643/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|archive-date=7 November 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Nineteenth Century (periodical)

The Grand Lunar: /* The Nineteenth Century and After */

{{Short description|British literary magazine}}
{{italic title}}
[[File:The Nineteenth Century and After.jpg|thumb|Front Cover of the magazine in September 1905, featuring the Janus-symbol adopted after 1901]]

'''''The Nineteenth Century''''' was a British monthly [[literary magazine]] founded in 1877 by [[James Thomas Knowles (1831–1908)|James Knowles]]. It is regarded by historians as 'one of the most important and distinguished monthlies of serious thought in the last quarter of the nineteenth century'.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brake |first1=Laurel |last2=Demoor |first2=Marysa |title=Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism in Great Britain and Ireland |date=2009 |publisher=Academia Press |page=456}}</ref>

==Editorial policy==

The magazine was designed as an 'utterly impartial' forum for debate and discussion among leading intellectuals.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Metcalf |first1=Priscilla |title=James Knowles: Victorian Editor and Architect |date=1980 |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=273 |isbn=978-0-19-812626-3 |url=https://archive.org/details/jamesknowlesvict0000metc}}</ref> Many of the early supporters and contributors to ''The Nineteenth Century'' were members of the [[Metaphysical Society]], of which Knowles had been secretary. The first issue, for example, contained pieces by former Society members [[Alfred, Lord Tennyson|Lord Tennyson]], [[William Ewart Gladstone|William Gladstone]] and [[Henry Edward Manning|Cardinal Manning]].<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', pp. 279-280</ref> It quickly became one of the most successful literary magazines in Britain, selling over 20,000 copies a month by early 1878.<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 281</ref>

An important part of the magazine's success was its regular 'Modern Symposium' section.<ref>Small, Helen, 'Liberal Editing in the Fortnightly Review and the Nineteenth Century', in Kyriaki Hadjiafxendi and Polina Mackay (eds.) ''Authorship in Context: From the Theoretical to the Material'', Palgrave, 2009, pp. 56-71 (p.67)</ref> This offered a series of essays and responses from different authors on subjects such as science or religion, collected together and published as a single structured debate. In this way the magazine quickly gained a reputation as a responsive forum where its contributors were given freedom to disagree without editorial interference.<ref>Brake and Demoor, ''Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism'', p. 456</ref> However, the magazine's focus on publishing established literary figures meant that it often excluded younger or unknown writers.<ref>Small, 'Liberal Editing', pp. 56, 71</ref> Although it generally lived up to its reputation as a 'neutral ground', the magazine did at times abandon impartiality to support positions dear to Knowles himself.<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 295</ref> For example, it was famously at the forefront of the campaign to prevent the building of a [[Channel Tunnel]] between Britain and France in 1882.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wilson |first1=Keith |title=Channel Tunnel Visions, 1850-1945 |date=1994 |publisher=Hambledon Press |page=39}}</ref>

==''The Nineteenth Century and After''==
In 1901 the title was changed to '''''The Nineteenth Century and After'''''. To emphasise this change, a two-headed [[Janus|Janus-symbol]] of an old man and a young woman (the former representing the nineteenth century and the latter the twentieth) was added to the cover.<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 348</ref> Knowles was prevented from simply renaming it ''The Twentieth Century'' because the copyright to that name was already owned by someone else, who allegedly demanded a ransom for the rights to use it.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Clarke |first1=Arthur C. |title=Astounding Days: A Science Fictional Autobiography |date=1990 |publisher=Bantam Books |location=New York, NY |isbn=0-553-34822-1 |page=56 |edition=1st}}</ref><ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 348</ref>

Knowles remained editor until his death, in 1908.<ref>{{cite DNB12 |last=Lee |first=Sidney |wstitle=Knowles, James Thomas}}</ref> During the twentieth century the magazine became more politically right-wing.<ref>The magazine is described as 'conservative' by Markus Huttner: 'Voigt, Frederick Augustus', ''ODNB'' (Oxford University Press, 2004); online edn, Jan 2008. [https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/36665 Accessed 13 June 2021.]</ref>

The magazine's title was finally changed to '''''The Twentieth Century''''' in 1951. After 1968 its publication cycle was 'irregular'; it ceased publication completely in 1972.<ref>Brake and Demoor, ''Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism'', p. 456</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Twentieth Century |url=https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?author=Knowles%2CJames%2C&title=20th%20century&publisher=Twentieth%20century&isn=0041-4603&rn=1 |website=Library Hub Discover |publisher=Jisc |accessdate=22 August 2020}}</ref>

In this way the magazine quickly gained a reputation as a responsive forum where its contributors were given freedom to disagree without editorial interference.<ref>Brake and Demoor, ''Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism'', p. 456</ref> However, the magazine's focus on publishing established literary figures meant that it often excluded younger or unknown writers.<ref>Small, 'Liberal Editing', pp. 56, 71</ref> Although it generally lived up to its reputation as a 'neutral ground', the magazine did at times abandon impartiality to support positions dear to Knowles himself.<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 295</ref> For example, it was famously at the forefront of the campaign to prevent the building of a [[Channel Tunnel]] between Britain and France in 1882.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wilson |first1=Keith |title=Channel Tunnel Visions, 1850-1945 |date=1994 |publisher=Hambledon Press |page=39}}</ref>

==''The Nineteenth Century and After''==
In 1901 the title was changed to '''''The Nineteenth Century and After'''''. To emphasise this change, a two-headed [[Janus|Janus-symbol]] of an old man and a young woman (the former representing the nineteenth century and the latter the twentieth) was added to the cover.<ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 348</ref> Knowles was prevented from simply renaming it ''The Twentieth Century'' because the copyright to that name was already owned by someone else, who allegedly demanded a ransom for the rights to use it.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Clarke |first1=Arthur C. |title=Astounding Days: A Science Fictional Autobiography |date=1990 |publisher=Bantam Books |location=New York, NY |isbn=0-553-34822-1 |page=56 |edition=1st}}</ref><ref>Metcalf, ''Knowles'', p. 348</ref>

Knowles remained editor until his death, in 1908.<ref>{{cite DNB12 |last=Lee |first=Sidney |wstitle=Knowles, James Thomas}}</ref> During the twentieth century the magazine became more politically right-wing.<ref>The magazine is described as 'conservative' by Markus Huttner: 'Voigt, Frederick Augustus', ''ODNB'' (Oxford University Press, 2004); online edn, Jan 2008.

The magazine's title was finally changed to '''''The Twentieth Century''''' in 1951; it ceased publication in 1968.<ref>Brake and Demoor, ''Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism'', p. 456</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Twentieth Century |url=https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?author=Knowles%2CJames%2C&title=20th%20century&publisher=Twentieth%20century&isn=0041-4603&rn=1 |website=Library Hub Discover |publisher=Jisc |accessdate=22 August 2020}}</ref>

==Background==
Prior to the election, the [[Jamaica Labour Party]], led by Prime Minister [[Andrew Holness]], formed a [[majority government]]. The largest opposition party was the [[People's National Party]], led by [[Peter Phillips (politician)|Peter Phillips]]. Either the [[Jamaica Labour Party]] or the [[People's National Party]] have been in power since [[universal suffrage]] was introduced in [[1944 Jamaican general election|1944]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Jamaica profile - Timeline |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-18784730 |website=BBC World News |date=10 January 2018 |access-date=8 September 2020 |archive-date=6 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191206022303/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-18784730 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Electoral system==
The 63 members of the [[Parliament of Jamaica|House of Representatives]] are elected in single-member [[Constituencies of Jamaica|constituencies]] by [[first-past-the-post voting]].<ref>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/2159_B.htm Electoral System] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304125133/http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/2159_B.htm |date=4 March 2016 }} IPU</ref> Voters must be 18 years and over and be a citizen of Jamaica or a [[Commonwealth citizen]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Registration Procedures |url=https://ecj.com.jm/voters/voter-information/registration-procedures/ |website=Electoral Commission of Jamaica |accessdate=7 September 2020 |archive-date=5 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305163033/https://ecj.com.jm/voters/voter-information/registration-procedures/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Campaign==
Only two parties registered to contest the election, the [[Jamaica Labour Party]] and the [[People's National Party]], and each nominated candidates in all 63 constituencies. The two parties agreed to participate in three televised debates hosted by the Jamaica [[Commission on Presidential Debates|Debates Commission]].<ref name=JO1>[http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/article/20191018/ARTICLE/191019697 black|PNP, JLP agree to political debates ahead of next general elections] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213152650/http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/article/20191018/ARTICLE/191019697 |date=13 December 2019 }} Jamaica Observer, 18 October 2019</ref>

General elections were held in [[Jamaica]] on 25 February 2016. The elections were largely a contest between the governing [[People's National Party]] (PNP) and the opposition [[Jamaica Labour Party]] (JLP). The result was a narrow victory for the JLP, which won 32 of the 63 seats. One political commentator described the poll as "the closest election Jamaica has ever had".<ref>{{Cite web

The JLP's share of the vote was the lowest for a winning party since [[1962 Jamaican general election|1962]], when the JLP won 50.1% of the vote, and its resulting majority in the [[Parliament of Jamaica|House of Representatives]] was the narrowest since [[1949 Jamaican general election|the 1949 elections]]. A similarly close election occurred in [[2007 Jamaican general election|2007]], in which two seats changed hands on recounts.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Jamaica Labour Party Wins General Election – Jamaica Information Service |url=https://jis.gov.jm/jamaica-labour-party-wins-general-election/ |access-date=2022-06-23 |website=jis.gov.jm}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Jamaica General Election Results 2007 |url=http://www.caribbeanelections.com/jm/elections/jm_results_2007.asp |access-date=2022-06-23 |website=www.caribbeanelections.com |archive-date=2020-12-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205164530/http://www.caribbeanelections.com/jm/elections/jm_results_2007.asp |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The nomination date of 9 February 2016 was also announced.<ref>{{cite web|last=Luton|first=Daraine|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20160131/video-election-day-february-25 |title=Breaking News: Election Day Is February 25 | newspaper=[[Jamaica Gleaner]] |date=31 January 2016 |accessdate=31 January 2016}}</ref> The election can be considered as having been called early, as it was [[Constitution of Jamaica|constitutionally]] due between 29 December 2016 (the date in 2011 of [[2011 Jamaican general election|the previous general election]]) and 16 April 2017 (within five years and three months of the date in 2012 of the first sitting of the new Parliament, on 17 January). There is no [[Fixed-term election|fixed election date]] in effect in [[Jamaica]] at this time; hence, the choice of election date is the [[prerogative]] of the Prime Minister.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Anderson-Brown|first1=Winnie|title=Issue: Time for fixed election date|url=http://old.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20070707/cleisure/cleisure4.html| newspaper=[[Jamaica Gleaner]]|accessdate=28 February 2016|date=7 July 2007}}</ref>

A total of 152 candidates registered to contest the elections, with both the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People's National Party (PNP) nominating a candidate in every constituency.<ref name="obs">{{cite news|title=Nomination day highlights|url=http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Nomination-day-highlights_51373|accessdate=19 February 2016|work=[[The Jamaica Observer]]|date=11 February 2016|archive-date=14 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160214225358/http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Nomination-day-highlights_51373|url-status=dead}}</ref> Minor parties put forward a small number of candidates, with seven from the [[National Democratic Movement (Jamaica)|National Democratic Movement]], six from the [[Marcus Garvey People's Progressive Party]] and two from the People's Progressive Party.<ref name=cand>{{cite news|title=Independents Unite To Unseat PNP, JLP|last=Serju|first=Christopher|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20160215/independents-unite-unseat-pnp-jlp|accessdate=19 February 2016|work=[[Jamaica Gleaner]]|date=16 February 2016}}</ref>

==Results==
Preliminary results saw the opposition JLP gaining a total of twelve seats, taking a slender three-seat majority over the governing PNP in the House of Representatives. No other parties were elected.

Subsequently, however, a recount in the [[Saint Mary South Eastern|St. Mary South Eastern]] constituency led to a 127-vote margin in favour of the JLP being overturned and the result being called for the PNP by 9 votes, narrowing the margin in the House to 32–31. The recount in St. Mary South East had also called into question results in St. Ann South West, St. James South, [[Saint Catherine North Eastern|St. Catherine North Eastern]], and [[Saint Andrew Eastern|St. Andrew Eastern]], which were decided by similarly narrow margins.<ref name=incomp>{{Cite web

After recounts, the JLP was declared to have 32 seats to the PNP's 31, a bare majority of one. The JLP planned to contest the St. Mary South East recount that saw its margin narrow. The final count, as authorised by the Electoral Commission, was announced on 2 March.<ref>{{cite web|title=Final Counting of Ballots for General Election 2016|url=http://jis.gov.jm/final-counting-of-ballots-for-general-election-2016/|publisher=[[Electoral Commission of Jamaica]]|accessdate=3 March 2016}}</ref>

General elections were held in [[Jamaica]] on 29 December 2011. The elections were contested mainly between the nation's two major political parties, the governing [[Jamaica Labour Party]] (JLP), led by [[Andrew Holness]], and the [[Portia Simpson-Miller]]-led opposition [[People's National Party]] (PNP). The result was a [[landslide victory]] for the PNP which won 42 of the 63 seats, a two-thirds majority.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20111230/lead/lead1.html|title=BLOWOUT: PNP 41 - JLP 22|website=jamaica-gleaner.com}}</ref>

==Background==
Since the [[2007 Jamaican general election|previous elections]] in 2007, the number of seats had been increased from 60 (an even number) to 63 (an odd number). The close results of the 2007 general election spurred the change as the Electoral Commission concluded that a tie would not be resolved.<ref>An odd number of votes ensures that a decision is made, no tie is possible.</ref>

==Opinion polls==
Opinion polls indicated a slim lead for the opposition PNP six days before the election.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20111223/lead/lead1.html |title=PNP comeback | newspaper=Jamaica Gleaner |date=23 December 2011 |access-date=31 December 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.cvmtv.com/index.php?id=137&news=watch |title=News | Investigative | Current Affair | CVM Television |publisher=News.cvmtv.com |date=21 December 2011 |access-date=31 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111143154/http://news.cvmtv.com/index.php?id=137&news=watch |archive-date=11 January 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> The win by the PNP shocked even its leaders, such as Peter Phillips who said that "the results certainly exceeded our most optimistic scenarios".<ref name=wp/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.about-jamaica.com/jamaica_election_2011.html|title=Jamaica Election Results|access-date=2 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207183214/http://www.about-jamaica.com/jamaica_election_2011.html|archive-date=7 February 2012|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
Reports from the Electoral Office of Jamaica indicated that only just over 50 per cent of the entire voting population voted on Election Day, meaning that it was possible for the lower-than-usual voter turnout to have thrown off opinion polls' predictions for the result.

==Results==
The [[People's National Party]] (PNP) secured 42 seats out of 63 in a result described as a [[landslide victory]].<ref name="wp">{{cite news|title=Dominating victory in Jamaica elections even surprises winning opposition side|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/americas/dominating-victory-in-jamaica-elections-even-surprises-winning-opposition-side/2011/12/30/gIQA6aZ8QP_story.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120101034544/http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/americas/dominating-victory-in-jamaica-elections-even-surprises-winning-opposition-side/2011/12/30/gIQA6aZ8QP_story.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 January 2012|access-date=31 December 2011|newspaper=Washington Post|date=30 December 2011}}</ref> No minor parties won seats in the new Parliament. As a result, the PNP ended four years of rule for the Labour Party, which won 21 seats.<ref name="wp" /> Several Labour Party cabinet ministers lost their seats, including National Security Minister Dwight Nelson and Energy Minister Clive Mullings.<ref name="wp" />

As a result, [[Portia Simpson-Miller]] assumed the role of [[Prime Minister of Jamaica|Prime Minister]] for the second time in 5 years and [[Andrew Holness]] became one of the shortest-serving Prime Ministers in the history of [[Jamaica]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Helps |first=Horace |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-jamaica-election-idUSTRE7BS0K120111230 |title=Bad economy puts Jamaica opposition back in power |publisher=Reuters |access-date=31 December 2011}}</ref>

General elections were held in [[Jamaica]] on 9 February 1989. The result was a victory for the [[People's National Party]], which won 45 of the 60 seats. Voter turnout was 78.4%.<ref>[[Dieter Nohlen]] (2005) ''Elections in the Americas: A data handbook, Volume I'', p430 {{ISBN|978-0-19-928357-6}}</ref>

They were the first seriously contested elections since 1980, as the PNP had boycotted the [[1983 Jamaican general election|1983 snap elections]] to protest the refusal of the ruling Jamaican Labour Party to update the electoral roll amid allegations of voter fraud.

Prime Minister [[Edward Seaga]] announced the election date on 15 January at a rally in [[Kingston, Jamaica|Kingston]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1989/01/17/world/jamaica-election-set-for-february.html|title=JAMAICA ELECTION SET FOR FEBRUARY|date=17 January 1989|work=The New York Times|accessdate=19 September 2016}}</ref> with the emergency conditions caused by [[Hurricane Gilbert]] in 1988 forcing an extension of the parliamentary term beyond its normal five-year mandate.<ref>Tom Lansford (2014) ''Political Handbook of the World 2014'', p717 {{ISBN|1483333272}}</ref>

==Campaign==
The election date and tone of the election were shaped in part by [[Hurricane Gilbert]], which made landfall in September 1988 and decimated the island. The hurricane caused almost $1 billion worth of damage to the island, with banana and coffee crops wiped out and thousands of homes destroyed. Both parties engaged in campaigning through the distribution of relief supplies, a hallmark of the Jamaican patronage system. Political commentators noted that prior to the hurricane, Edward Seaga and the JLP trailed Michael Manley and the PNP by twenty points in opinion polls. The ability to provide relief as the party in charge allowed Seaga to improve his standing among voters and erode the inevitability of Manley's victory. However, scandals related to the relief effort cost Seaga and the JLP some of the gains made immediately following the hurricane. Scandals that emerged included National Security Minister [[Errol Anderson]] personally controlling a warehouse full of disaster relief supplies and candidate [[Joan Gordon-Webley]] distributing American-donated flour in sacks with her picture on them.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/27/magazine/showdown-in-jamaica.html|title=Showdown in Jamaica|date=27 November 1988|work=The New York Times|accessdate=19 September 2016}}</ref>

The election was characterized by a narrower ideological difference between the two parties on economic issues. Michael Manley facilitated his comeback campaign by moderating his leftist positions and admitting mistakes made as Prime Minister, saying he erred when he involved government in economic production and had abandoned all thoughts of nationalizing industry. He cited the PNP's desire to continue the market-oriented policies of the JLP government, but with a more participatory approach.<ref>Garrity, Michele and Picard, Louis A. "Policy Reform for Sustainable Development in the Caribbean", p. 39. {{ISBN|4274900991}}, 9784274900990.</ref> Prime Minister Edward Seaga ran on his record of economic growth and the reduction of unemployment in Jamaica, using the campaign slogan "Don't Let Them Wreck It Again" to refer to Manley's tenure as Prime Minister.<ref name="sun-sentinel.com">{{cite web|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1989-02-06/news/8901070618_1_michael-manley-minister-jamaica-labour-party|title=Personalities Of Candidates Key Issue In Jamaica Election|publisher=|accessdate=19 September 2016|archive-date=2016-09-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919230453/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1989-02-06/news/8901070618_1_michael-manley-minister-jamaica-labour-party|url-status=dead}}</ref> Seaga during his tenure as Prime Minister emphasized the need to tighten public sector spending and cut close to 27,000 public sector jobs in 1983 and 1984.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mobile.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100314/arts/arts4.php |title=Jamaica Gleaner News - On development and losing elections - Sunday | March 14, 2010 |website=Mobile.jamaica-gleaner.com |date= |accessdate=2016-09-24}}</ref> He shifted his plans as elections neared with a promise to spend J$1 billion on a five-year Social Well-Being Programme, which would build new hospitals and schools in Jamaica.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20040111/focus/focus5.html |title=Jamaica Gleaner - Missed opportunities: From old partners to new partnerships - Sunday | January 11, 2004 |accessdate=2015-05-07 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714222246/http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20040111/focus/focus5.html |archivedate=2014-07-14 }}</ref>

Foreign policy also played a role in the 1989 election. Prime Minister Edward Seaga emphasized his relations with the United States, a relationship which saw Jamaica receiving considerable economic aid from the U.S and additional loans from international institutions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sites.middlebury.edu/themoderncaribbean/files/2011/02/JamiacaunderSeaga.pdf |title=The United States and Jamaica: Playing the American Card |author=Ronald T. Libby |publisher=Latin American Perspectives |volume=17 |quote=Caribbean Crisis and Global Restructuring |date=1990 |pages=86–109}}</ref> Manley pledged better relations with the United States while at the same time pledging to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba that had been cut under Seaga.<ref name="sun-sentinel.com"/> With Manley as Prime Minister, [[Jamaica–United States relations|Jamaican-American relations]] had significantly frayed as a result of Manley's economic policies and close relations with Cuba.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://countrystudies.us/caribbean-islands/36.htm|title=Jamaica - Relations with the United States, Britain, and Canada|publisher=|accessdate=19 September 2016}}</ref>

The personalities of the two party leaders helped shape the 1989 campaign. While Seaga was portrayed as a good manager with a cold public demeanor, Manley was perceived as a person with suspect managerial skills but exceptional personal magnetism. Seaga summarized the two personalities by saying, "Some people prefer to have a husband who will provide for them and give them security. Others are looking for a lover to give them joy."<ref name="sun-sentinel.com"/>

Early general elections were held in [[Jamaica]] on 15 December 1983.<ref name=N1>[[Dieter Nohlen]] (2005) ''Elections in the Americas: A data handbook, Volume I'', p430 {{ISBN|978-0-19-928357-6}}</ref> The election was effectively ended as a contest when the main opposition party, the [[People's National Party]], [[Election boycott|boycotted the election]] to protest the refusal of the ruling [[Jamaican Labour Party]] to update the electoral roll amid allegations of voter fraud.<ref name=DN>Nohlen, p425</ref>

Several minor parties participated in the election, but they only contested six of the 60 seats: with [[voter turnout]] of about 55%, this gave a nationwide figure of a meagre 2.7%.<ref name=N1/><ref name=IPU/> The Labour Party won all 60 seats in the [[House of Representatives of Jamaica|House of Representatives]], with their leader, [[Edward Seaga]], continuing as [[Prime Minister of Jamaica|Prime Minister]].

==Background==
The Labour Party had convincingly won the [[1980 Jamaican general election|1980 general election]], taking 51 of the 60 seats in the House of Representatives. At the time, the party had promised to update the electoral roll, but failed to do so by the 1983 elections.<ref name=DN/> On 25 November 1983, Seaga called early elections, two years before they were due.<ref name=IPU>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/JAMAICA_1983_E.PDF Jamaica] Inter-Parliamentary Union</ref> Seaga claimed that the move was due to People's National Party leader [[Michael Manley]] calling for him to resign from his post of Finance Minister (which he held in addition to being Prime Minister), and that the early elections would be a public vote of confidence in his austerity plans.<ref name=IPU/>

Whilst the People's National Party boycotted the elections and called for others to do so as well, three minor parties and several independents contested the elections. Two of the parties, the [[Christian Conscience Movement]] and the [[Jamaica United Front]], had never previously contested an election. The other, the [[Republican Party (Jamaica)|Republican Party]], had run in the [[1955 Jamaican general election|1955]] and [[1967 Jamaican general election|1967 elections]], but had never received more than 108 votes.<ref>Nohlen, pp433-434</ref> Between them, opposition and independent candidates only contested six constituencies, resulting in Labour Party candidates winning 54 seats unopposed. Whilst turnout in the contested seats was estimated to be around 55%,<ref name=IPU/> the overall total was just 2.7%, by far the lowest in the country's history and one of three occasions (the others being 2016 and 2020) it has been below 50%.<ref name=N1/>

==Aftermath==
The Labour Party government was sworn in on 19 December,<ref name="IPU" /> and remained in power until the [[1989 Jamaican general election|1989 elections]], in which the People's National Party won 45 of the 60 seats.<ref>Nohlen, p435</ref>

On 30 December Governor-General [[Florizel Glasspole]] appointed eight independent senators; Clarence Reid, Charles Sinclair, Emil George, Errol Miller, Lloyd Barnett, Courtney Lloyd Fletcher, Barbara Makeda Blake and Keith Worrell, who were recommended by Seaga.<ref>[https://gleaner.newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner/1983-12-30/ G-G appoints eight opposition Senators on PM's recommendation] Kingston Gleaner, 30 December 1983</ref>

Police and crime commissioner

{{short description|Elected official responsible for the effective policing of a police area in England or Wales}}
{{Law enforcement in the United Kingdom}}
{{Politics of the United Kingdom}}
A '''police and crime commissioner''' ('''PCC'''; {{lang-cy|comisiynydd yr heddlu a throseddu}})<ref>{{cite web |title=Language Choice - South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner |url=https://www.southwalescommissioner.org.uk/ |website=www.southwalescommissioner.org.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent |url=https://www.gwent.pcc.police.uk/en/splash-page/ |website=Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner |date=24 July 2020}}</ref> is an elected official in [[England and Wales]] responsible for generally overseeing police forces. A '''police, fire and crime commissioner''' ('''PFCC''') is an elected official in England responsible for generally overseeing both police forces and fire services. Commissioners replaced now-abolished [[Police authority|police authorities]]. The first incumbents were [[2012 England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections|elected on 15 November 2012]].

==Background==
[[File:Association of PCCs.png|left|frameless]]
In the 2010 general election campaign, the manifestos of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]] and [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] outlined plans, respectively, to replace or reform the existing [[Police authority|police authorities]]. Following the election, the [[Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition agreement]] of 2010 set out that:
{{quotation| We will introduce measures to make the police more accountable through oversight by a directly elected individual, who will be subject to strict checks and balances by locally elected representatives.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Coalition: our programme for government |url=http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/coalition_programme_for_government.pdf |work=UK Cabinet Office Website |access-date=28 September 2011}}</ref>
}}

Later in 2010, the government published 'Policing in the 21st Century', a consultation on its vision for policing, including the introduction of police and crime commissioners.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}} This was followed by the [[Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011]]. The [[Home Secretary]], [[Theresa May]], made the Policing Protocol Order in November 2011, which stated:<blockquote>The establishment of PCCs has allowed for the Home Office to withdraw from day-to-day policing matters, giving the police greater freedom to fight crime as they see fit, and allowing local communities to hold the police to account.<ref name=":0">[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/2744/made The Policing Protocol Order 2011].</ref></blockquote>
The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners was commissioned by the [[Home Office]] to facilitate co-ordination, representation and support for police and crime commissioners and police governance bodies from November 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.apccs.police.uk |title=Association of Police and Crime Commissioners |author= |website=APCC |access-date=7 October 2015}}</ref> The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) represents all 40 PCCs as of April 2021.<ref>{{cite web|title=About the APCC|url=https://www.apccs.police.uk/about-the-apcc/|website=www.apccs.police.uk}}</ref>

==Role and functions==
[[File:Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner display, Bournemouth promenade.jpg|thumb|upright|A [[Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner]] display to increase public awareness of the role]]
The core functions of a PCC is to secure the maintenance of an efficient and effective police force within their area, and to hold the [[chief constable]] to account for the delivery of the police and crime plan.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Role of the PCC|url=https://apccs.police.uk/role-of-the-pcc/|access-date=2021-05-06|website=The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Section 1) |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted |work=UK Legislation |access-date=28 September 2011}}</ref> Police and crime commissioners are charged with holding the police fund (from which all policing of the area is financed) and raising the local policing [[precept]] from [[Council Tax|council tax]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Chapter 3) |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted |work=UK Legislation |access-date=28 September 2011}}</ref> Police and crime commissioners are also responsible for the appointment, suspension and dismissal of the Chief Constable,<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted| title = Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Chapter 5) | work=UK Legislation| access-date =28 September 2011}}</ref> although the 2011 Policing Protocol Order states that the PCC "must not fetter the operational independence of the police force and the Chief Constable who leads it".<ref name=":0" /> PCCs are able to appoint a Deputy PCC.<ref name=":3" />

===Police and crime plans===
Shortly after their election to office, a PCC must produce a "police and crime plan". That plan must include his or her objectives for policing, what resources will be provided to the chief constable and how performance will be measured.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted| title = Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Sections 7 and 9) | work=UK Legislation| access-date =28 September 2011}}</ref> Both the PCC and the chief constable must have regard to the police and crime plan in the exercise of their duties. The PCC is required to produce an annual report to the public on progress in policing.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted| title = Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Section 12) | work=UK Legislation| access-date =28 September 2011}}</ref>

===Police funding===
Police and crime commissioners hold the 'police fund', from which all policing is financed. The bulk of funding for the police fund comes from the Home Office in the form of an annual grant (calculated on a proportionate basis to take into account the differences between the 43 forces in England and Wales, which vary significantly in terms of population, geographical size, crime levels and trends), though commissioners will also set a precept on the council tax to raise additional funds. If a PCC wishes to increase the precept by an amount deemed to be excessive, the [[Localism Act 2011]] requires a referendum. It is the PCC's responsibility to set the budget for the force area, which includes allocating enough money from the overall policing budget to ensure that the commissioner can discharge their functions effectively.

===Extension to fire services===
In September 2015, the government undertook a consultation into proposals which would bring England's [[Fire services in the United Kingdom|fire services]] under the control of PCCs.<ref>{{cite news |author= |title=Fire chiefs could run English police forces under plans |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34224491 |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=11 September 2015 |access-date=10 October 2015}}</ref> {{As of|2023|April}} there are five Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners: for Cumbria, Essex, Staffordshire, North Yorkshire and Northamptonshire.<ref name=":2" />

==Police and crime panels==
The [[Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011]] established police and crime panels within each force area in England and Wales (excluding Greater London).<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted| title = Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Section 28) | work=UK Legislation| access-date =28 September 2011 }}</ref> These panels consist of at least one representative from each local authority in that area, and at least two independent members co-opted by the panel.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted| title = Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Schedule 6) | work=UK Legislation| access-date =28 September 2011 }}</ref>

Panels are responsible for scrutinising PCC decisions and ensuring this information is available to the public. They must review the PCC's draft police and crime plan and draft annual report before publication, and the PCC must give their comments due consideration. A police and crime panel may require the attendance of the commissioner or a staff member at any time, and may suspend a PCC from office who is charged with a serious criminal offence.<ref>{{cite web |title=Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Sections 28-30) |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted |work=UK Legislation |access-date=28 September 2011}}</ref> Police and crime panels will be able to veto a PCC's proposed precept or proposed candidate for Chief Constable by a two-thirds majority.<ref>{{cite web |title=Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Schedules 6 and 8) |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/contents/enacted |work=UK Legislation |access-date =28 September 2011}}</ref>

A [[National Audit Office (United Kingdom)|National Audit Office]] report published in January 2014 found that there were "few checks and balances" on the 41 PCCs between elections. It said police and crime panels, which were set up to scrutinise PCCs, "lack powers" to act on the information they receive.<ref>{{cite news |title=National Audit Office report |date=22 January 2014 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25839960 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=31 January 2014}}</ref>

==Oath of impartiality==
On 16 August 2012, the Home Office announced that every newly elected police and crime commissioner would be required to swear an "oath of impartiality" before taking office. The oath reads:<ref name="homeoffice1">{{cite web|url=http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/media-centre/news/police-commissioner-oath |title=Police and crime commissioners to swear an oath of impartiality - News stories - Inside Government - GOV.UK |publisher=Homeoffice.gov.uk |date=2012-08-16 |access-date=2013-04-01}}</ref>
{{quotation|I do solemnly and sincerely promise that I will serve all the people of [Police Force Area] in the office of police and crime commissioner without fear or favour. I will act with integrity and diligence in my role and, to the best of my ability, will execute the duties of my office to ensure that the police are able to cut crime and protect the public. I will give a voice to the public, especially victims of crime and work with other services to ensure the safety of the community and effective criminal justice. I will take all steps within my power to ensure transparency of my decisions, so that I may be properly held to account by the public. I will not seek to influence or prevent any lawful and reasonable investigation or arrest, nor encourage any police action save that which is lawful and justified within the bounds of this office.}}

The then Minister for Policing and Criminal Justice, [[Nick Herbert]] said:<ref name="homeoffice1"/>
{{quote|Police and crime commissioners will be important public servants and it is right that they make a formal public commitment to the communities they will serve. Although police and crime commissioners may stand for a [[List of political parties in the United Kingdom|political party]], the public will expect them to represent all the people in their area impartially, without fear or favour. The swearing of an oath will be an important symbol of this impartiality, emphasising both the significance of this new role in local communities and that commissioners are there to serve the people, not a political party or any one section of their electorate. An oath will also underline the particular importance of even-handedness in an office which holds to account the local chief constable and police force who themselves are bound to serve impartially.}}

The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, set up to act as an "umbrella body" for the elected PCCs, revealed that it had been asked{{When|date=May 2021}} by the Home Office to "seek views from police authorities and prospective candidates on the wording of the oath".{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}} By the time the first police and crime commissioner had been elected, in November 2012, the original Home Office text of the "Oath of Impartiality" had been significantly modified. As an example, this is the amended oath as delivered by the police and crime commissioner for Avon and Somerset:
{{quotation|I Sue Mountstevens of North Somerset do hereby declare that I accept the office of Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset. In making this declaration, I solemnly and sincerely promise that during my term in office:
I will serve all the people of Avon and Somerset in the office of Police and Crime Commissioner.
I will act with integrity and diligence in my role and, to the best of my ability, will execute the duties of my office to ensure that the police are able to cut crime and protect the public.
I will give a voice to the public, especially victims of crime, and work with other services to ensure the safety of the community and effective criminal justice.
I will take all steps within my power to ensure transparency of my decisions, so that I may be properly held to account by the public.
I will not interfere with the operational independence of police officers.}}

In South Wales, the title "Oath of Impartiality" was replaced by the term "Oath of Office" on the PCC's website with no mention of "impartiality".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://commissioner.south-wales.police.uk/en/us/your-commissioner/|title=Your Police and Crime Commissioner|date=6 November 2014}}</ref> In other police areas, like Thames Valley, the PCC's website describes it simply as "The Oath".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk/Your-PCC/The-Oath-.aspx |title=The Oath |publisher=Thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk |access-date=2013-04-01}}</ref>

The written form of the oath which is signed by all PCCs on taking office is not headed "Oath of Impartiality" but "Declaration of Acceptance of Office".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk/Your-PCC/Oath-of-Impartiality.aspx |title=Oath of Impartiality |publisher=Avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk |access-date=2013-04-01}}</ref>

==Electoral system==
Election use [[first-past-the-post voting]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Elections Act 2022, s.13 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2022/37/section/13#section-13-17-a |access-date=6 October 2023 |website=Legislation.gov.uk}}</ref> Prior to the passage of the [[Elections Act 2022]], the [[supplementary vote]] system was used: voters marked the ballot paper with their first and second choices of candidate.<ref>{{cite web |date=2016 |title=Police and Crime Commissioner elections in England and Wales: Guidance for candidates and agents |url=http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/148742/PCC-Overview.pdf |publisher=The Electoral Commission}}</ref> If no candidate had a majority of first preference votes, all but the top two candidates were eliminated and the second preference votes of the eliminated candidates were allocated to one of the two remaining (or set aside if no second preference for either) to produce a winner. However, the [[Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011]] directed that first-past-the-post would be used if there were only two candidates for a specific commissioner region.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, s.57 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/section/57/enacted |access-date=6 October 2023 |website=Legislation.gov.uk}}</ref>

Commissioners have a set four-year term of office.

== Criticism ==
Issues have included conflict between PCCs and chief constables, questions over PCC expenses, the cost of elections and low voter turnout (in some cases, below 15%).<ref>{{cite news |author= |title=PCC elections: Watchdog to probe record low turnout |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20374139 |publisher=BBC News |date=17 November 2012 |access-date=16 January 2015 }}</ref> The [[Plain English Campaign]] described the commissioners in 2015 as "serial offenders" in "mangling of the English language" and the use of "jargon".<ref>{{cite web|publisher=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-32620554|title=Northamptonshire chief constable advert 'ploddledegook'|date=7 May 2015|access-date=12 May 2015}}</ref> The former Home Secretary Theresa May, who introduced the directly elected commissioners, in 2014, considered the policy to have had mixed success.<ref>{{cite news |last=Morris |first=Nigel |date=21 September 2014 |title=Labour Party Conference: Labour would abolish PCCs to save £50m |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-party-conference-labour-would-abolish-pccs-to-save-50m-9747436.html |newspaper=The Independent |location=United Kingdom |access-date=16 January 2015}}</ref>

=== Possible abolition ===
In 2014, the Liberal Democrats indicated that they would scrap the positions. In light of this, the Liberal Democrats boycotted the [[2014 South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner by-election|2014 South Yorkshire PCC by-election]].<ref>{{cite news |author= |date=3 October 2014 |title= No Lib Dem candidate for PCC post |url=http://www.southendstandard.co.uk/news/national/news/11514401.No_Lib_Dem_candidate_for_PCC_post/ |newspaper=Southend Standard |location=Southend |access-date=16 January 2015}}</ref>

The replacement of some PCCs with [[directly elected mayors]] is expected to occur as a result of the [[Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/queens-speech-2015-what-it-means-for-you/queens-speech-2015-what-it-means-for-you#cities-and-local-government-devolution-bill |title=Queen's Speech 2015: Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill |author= |website=www.gov.uk |publisher=Cabinet Office and Prime Minister's Office |access-date=1 June 2015 |quote=The purpose of the Bill is to fulfil the government's commitments on devolving powers and budgets to boost local growth in England.}}</ref> In 2017, the [[Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner]] was replaced by the [[Mayor of Greater Manchester]]<ref name="Manc">{{cite news|date=3 November 2014|title=Manchester to get elected mayor|publisher=BBC News|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/03/manchester-directly-elected-mayor}}</ref> and the role of [[West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner]] was absorbed by the [[mayor of West Yorkshire]] in 2021.<ref>{{cite news |last=Lavigueur |first=Nick |title=Who could be the Mayor when West Yorkshire devolution happens? |url=https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/who-could-mayor-yorkshire-devolution-15410907 |work=[[YorkshireLive]] |date=14 November 2018}}</ref> In 2019, both the [[Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region]] and the [[Mayor of the West Midlands]] advocated taking over the police and crime commissioner roles in their respective areas.<ref>{{cite news |last=Thorp |first=Liam |title=Steve Rotheram: 'Scrap Police Commissioner and give me the job' |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/steve-rotheram-scrap-police-commissioner-16007834 |newspaper=Liverpool Echo |date=22 March 2019 |access-date=6 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Dare |first=Tom |title=2020 to be the biggest year in the brief history of the mayor |url=https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/2020-biggest-year-brief-history-17495198 |access-date=31 January 2020 |work=[[Birmingham Mail]] |date=6 January 2020}}</ref>
