One other thing that I will be unpacking more in details will be the concealed discourses that Nicky Morgan Uses in advising in favor to the education system improvement and progression after the labour governments changes and time in power. Education policy Policy identifies as “an enlightenment concept, it is about progress, it is about moving from inadequacies of the present to some future state of perfection where everything works well and works as it should” said by (Ball, 2014). Citied by (Adam, 2014, p.5) policy and politics is observed as “ideological in that it forms broader political programmes and social movements” as a result the political position of Nicky Morgan then ends up influencing the ideological changes in society which she puts ahead as a shared views and “defining …show more content…

  • The Pros And Cons Of New Labour

    917 Words  | 2 Pages

    This essay will address whether New Labour contained policies with which it wished to pursue, or was solely developed in order to win elections. It is important to realise whether a political party that held office for approximately 13 years only possessed the goal of winning elections, or promoted policies which it wished to pursue. If a party that held no substance was governing for 13 years, it would be unfair to the people. New Labour was designed to win elections, but still contained policies which it wished to pursue. To adequately defend this thesis, one must look at the re-branding steps taken by New Labour and the new policies the party was going to pursue. Through analysis, it will be shown that New Labour promoted policies in regards

    The various forms of written mediums require a specific style to portray a response to an audience. A speech can be regarded as a performance of written work, such that words are arranged in a chosen way, allowing a listener to understand what the speaker is saying. Gillard’s speech tends to draw upon Herrick’s (2005) idea that rhetoric is seen as a tool to respond to a situation or

  • Deciphering Thatcherism: A Comprehensive Analysis

    592 Words  | 2 Pages

    Thatcher is considered to be one of the most controversial figures in modern British politics and remains the only 20th century Prime Minister to give her name to an ideology. There has never been a clear consensus on the meaning of Thatcherism and it has been used to describe a vast array of ideas. Nigel Lawson, who claims to have invented the term, describes it as ‘a mixture of free markets, financial discipline, firm control over public expenditure, tax cuts, nationalism, ‘Victorian values’…, privatisation and a dash of populism’. Broadly, it can be argued that the main feature of Thatcherism was its opposition to the policies of the ‘post-war consensus’. Both supporters and opponents of Thatcher have created a pattern from disconnected

    648 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the last half of the twentieth century, the Conservative Party had a large proportion of the electorate in the south of Britain, with the Labour Party doing the same in the north of Britain. This therefore leads some to wonder how can a party call itself a national party if it only attracts voters from certain regions of the country - this then mirrors the class divide. Nonetheless, these divisions were not so evident during the Conservative victory of 1979 and, more recently, the Labour landslide victory in 1997.
