Notes to self: who is standing for london in europe 2019?

Democraticaudit.com/2019/05/16/european-elections-2019-what-will-happen-in-london/
... gives a list of who has a chance, and the other links show also-rans who might be worth encouraging and to help them keep their deposits. I don't know how they fit-in with the party list system. They are not on the party list system and not allowed to use a party name.

Democraticdashboard.com/location/postcode/SW148BP shows pictures of the candidates.
Whocanivotefor.co.uk/elections/SW14%208BP shows them listed by party and links to the eu results page which cannot be bothered to name candidates - the BBC had to unearth names




The BBC found election results the next day,
but no outcomes for the nearly-got-ins and also-rans



  1. LIBERAL DEMOCRAT
  2. LIBERAL DEMOCRAT
  3. LIBERAL DEMOCRAT
  4. LABOUR
  5. LABOUR
  6. THE BREXIT PARTY
  7. THE BREXIT PARTY
  8. GREEN






Votes make made the most difference to these people being elected


Loisa Porrit, https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisa-porritt-29521525/ got in unexpectedly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luisa_Porritt

Gavinesler.com/ of Change UK, ex newsnight, author, is in with a very small chance
The EU web site says that no Change UK member was elected

Laura Parker of Momentum and Labour is in with a very small chance


Katy Clark of Labour is in with a bigger chance and will probably get-in given recent news

I can't find a good link for her. There is a huffington post article saying the the selection process is wonky and that she is not too pro-europe. She has been an mp.


Dinesh Dhamija of the Liberals, e-bookers, and a large donor charity is in with a bigger chance


Lance Foreman of an smoked salmon company and Brexit is in with a bigger chance


Gulnar Hussain of the green party and US economics courses is in with a bigger chance

Linkedin says that she rents-out shared office space and has this idea

Through the use of our 360° immersive films and Virtual Reality headsets, our training and recruitment model for adoption and fostering allows parents and carers to experience life from the perspective of the child. This unique approach to tackling issues around children’s social care is ground-breaking and offers a different way to understand the impact of attachment and trauma – through the eyes of the child.

There are some also-ran candidates to vote for to show that they have support and maybe save their deposits, in alphabetical order
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48081347

Animal Welfare PartyVanessa Hudson says that it is a party  that keeps ideas going where other party's interest is much more patchy. If by fluke she did get in she could be a good influence in Europe

Theukeuparty.org - Remain, good description of the referendum, usual "heart of" phrases about full membership, not much about the cost of it of chance of reforming it. They don't believe the £350 million quote for costs nor give a link to say why they don't believe it.

I had a look at some independent names. Five of them share a Climate Emergency campaign.

 Claudia McDowellDaze Aghaji, Henry Muss, Zoe Lafferty, Roger Hallam   climateemergencyindependents.co.uk. Some of them students.


 Ian Snowdeniansowden.eu/after-we-win - irritatingly sure what to do with my taxes, but it's nice that someone so ugly and irritating can have "friends all across europe". If he can do it, maybe even a blogger like me is in with a chance.

 These candidates did not even provide irritating information to Who Can I Vote For.

 Kofi Klu - word soup - youtube.com/watch?v=Q1jrS8FKV4c - might possibly be a comedian doing this as a prank. youtube has the first 900 words of his interview as a transcript. There are no words like "national insurance", "national assistance", "unemployment pay", "school", "health", "tax", "law", "house", "bus", or anything like that.

 Mike Shad - no information but a twitter account. Remainer. After the election I found a youtube video of Mr Shad and his drawing room furniture and was intrigued to know where he got it. It was like an interview with the Shah of Iran or someone like that. He kept the message to one thing - remain - and to 152 viewers so I left a comment recommending democraticdashboard and whocanIvotefor. Now it turns-out that there are three videos, one in another language, and Mikeshad.org leading to a flyer and list of a dozen points here

After the election I saw that the flyer is backed by a persian-uk magazine:

After watching those youtube videos, youtube directed me to someone arguing against candidates in elections because old-fashioned and sometimes against party policy or even independent of parties, and another video interviewing John Clees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULfqhCNHQPA

 Alan Kirkby no information but a yahoo email so he may unfortunately have been locked in a cupboard or eaten by one of the rival candidates. I emailed the account to ask if there is a web site, but no lost the reply, now shown below. There is an Alan Denis Kirkby. borne 1937 I think, who was a trustee or company director of a training scheme in Lewisham that no longer has a web site. WhocanIvotefor think he was a candidate for Southwark and Old Bermondsey MP in 2010 when he got 155 votes or 0.3%. Wikipedia think he was the UKIP candidate while another site has him down as an independent. Electionleaflets.org have his flyer which reads "vote vote vote vote vote Alan Kirkby, your independent option. Alan Kirkby, independent. General Election 2010. Tuesday 6th of May 2010. Bermondsey and Old Southwark. email alankirkbey2010@yahoo.co.uk"

'Art. 50' resolution to be sought via EU Institutions' internal processes as priority. No Ideology offered...

Dear Veganline. com 

The UK difficulties with EU stem from the 'Lisbon' consolidation treaty - that's where their resolution may be obtained from its amendments - not easy - but before Art.50 October deadline.

Ease of trade is crucial - without strings!

Update 2


- More history:



A new Euro-row is escalating over a Franco-German plan to rewrite part of the EU's Lisbon Treaty.
Relevance...
'German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she will urge other European leaders to accept the need for treaty change at an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday...' - Re Greece debts.

Pointing this out as precedent 'to accept the need for treaty change'...

This update intends to keep Treaty change as the suggestion to by-pass leave EU at Oct. end.

- Hence a plan to rewrite part(or all) of the EU's Lisbon Treaty... Not OK to UK at present.

Now the need for 'politics'. - and a draft update of EU constitution - plus a consensus of philosophers and (psephologistsPsephology 




Perhaps choose from...

Copy Update 1

Dear CEPS,

Please commence an appropriate study to resolve the future UK/EU free-trade arrangements without 'the strings' that are not acceptable
to UK Electorate.

No. 216/October 2010
This paper explores the political difficulties of treaty reform -  in the context of five pending revisions.

-----------


No. 215/October 2010 

This Policy Brief provides an overview of the procedures that are available to change the Treaty of Lisbon.

Extracts:
3. Proposing treaty change 

In both the ordinary and simplified revision procedures, the initial proposal for treaty reform can be made by one of three entities:
 1) any national government,
 2) the European Parliament or
 3) the European Commission.
 In the case of the European Parliament, Rules 41 and 48 of its internal Rules of Procedure 4 apply. Rule 41 relates to the procedure to be used where a right of initiative is conferred on the Parliament by the treaties, while Rule 48 concerns own-initiative reports. Pursuant to Rule 41, the relevant parliamentary committee may decide to draft an own initiative report. This report must include a motion for a resolution and the draft proposal or decision, together with an explanatory statement.

4. Ordinary revision procedure
Box 1. Ordinary Revision Procedure 
1. Proposal for treaty change can come from any national government, the European Parliament, or the European Commission, and may relate to any aspect of the treaties (including proposals designed to increase Union competence).
 
2. Proposal is addressed to the Council (presumably for early debate on the nature of the proposal), which then submits the proposal to the European Council and notifies national parliaments.
 
3. European Council must consult the European Parliament and the European Commission.
 
4. European Council then votes whether to examine the proposal; a simple majority in favour is sufficient to proceed to the next stage.

5. Two options are available at this point: 
    a. President of the European Council is automatically mandated to convene a Convention to examine the draft proposal and adopt by consensus a recommendation to a future IGC,
 but 
    b. European Council may vote by a simple majority, after having obtained the consent of the European Parliament, not to convene a Convention – in this case the European Council defines the mandate of the IGC.

6. Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) is called by the President of the Council (at this stage the rotating presidency takes over from the European Council, as the intergovernmental conference is the domain of the member states only, not the EU institutions per se).
 
7. Ratification at national level begins; proposal enters into force if it is ratified by all member states according to their own domestic ratification procedures. 
Also -

  'Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the treaty amendment procedure contained in Art. 48 TEU has been used once already in the case of the ordinary revision procedure.
 Procedure Under the ordinary revision procedure, a proposal for treaty reform is addressed first to the Council,5? which then submits the proposal to the European Council.
 Presumably the Council serves as a type of antechamber for initial debate and scrutiny of the proposal before passing it over to the European Council.
 At the same time, national parliaments are notified of the proposal (presumably by the Council, although Art. 48 TEU is not specific on the institution responsible for making the notification).
 National parliaments, however, are assigned no formal role under the ordinary revision procedure, but in theory notification of the proposal allows them to begin advance scrutiny of the proposal.' (Sic)
