Parliament Street’s Marina Muttik, criticises the Labour Party for recently holding an event which segregated men and women. She believes that this behaviour is nothing new and that based on the behaviour of similar youth- Labour affiliated groups, the future for genuine gender equality looks bleak. Speaking as a woman engaged with politics, I can safely say how unacceptable I […]
As polling day gets ever closer, Parliament Street took some time out to share some photos from the campaign trail. If there’s one thing that unites activists from all political backgrounds, it’s the hell that comes from the following letterboxes… 1. The annoying sideways letterbox 2. As if number 1 couldn’t get any worse….. The annoying sideways letterbox + knocker 3. […]
As we come closer to May 7th, we see the parties attempt to bribe the electorate with more and more incentives to get into power. Welcome to the inward-looking politics of selfishness and self-centredness which plagues western civilization and will lead to potential global ruin. It appears that none of the main parties can guarantee any real game-changing levels of […]
Theodore Grammaticus reminds us of the growing threat of Russia’s Vladimir Putin and what his actions may mean for Europe’s security. The British military has been in seemingly terminal decline for some 25 years, since the end of the Cold War. In terms of size, the British military is a shadow of its former self; there are fewer soldiers, fewer ships, […]
Holly Whitbread discusses why she believes there should be a simplistic Conservative rebranding so the party remains loyal to traditional conservative values, appeals to all hard working British people and distances themselves from PR gimmicks. The rhetoric of the ‘left’ centers around the idea of ‘them and us’. Playing upon the pre-existing class and wealth divisions within our society. Labour continues […]

Jonathan Fieldhouse argues that young people have more opportunities now, under the Conservatives, than they ever did under Labour. It’s frightening looking back over time and thinking about our once glorious high streets. As ‘New’ Labour came to power with their army of supporters banging the drum, they forgot the rich legacy that was presented to them. They’d forgotten what […]
Clare Ambrosino discusses why the one hundred entrepreneurs who petitioned Ed Milliband are right to fear a Labour Government. In the run up to this most particular of elections, in the scrabble for votes, it is easy to get waylaid by the love life of the “happy warrior” or debates on kitchens. This may all be very interesting from a human point of […]

But her previous presidential bid exposed character flaws which alienated supporters and ultimately derailed her 2008 campaign. As Hillary announces her new campaign for 2016, will history repeat itself? When Hillary Rodham Clinton announced she was […]

Parliament Street’s Mo Metcalf- Fisher discusses what an SNP- Labour coalition could mean for you. If there’s one thing the polls are suggesting this election, it’s that things are mighty close. I guess that’s what makes it all quite exciting. But there are some outcomes the polls suggest, that will no doubt cause concern to many voters. Certain political outcomes are […]
