What was Thatcher constituency?
Margaret Thatcher became the Conservative Member of Parliament for the constituency of Finchley (in North London) at the 1959 General Election, after a long search for a constituency with a local Conservative Association that would select her as its candidate. She had previously stood as the Conservative candidate for Dartford in the 1951 General Election, losing to Labour. She won the constituency of Finchley at the 1959, 1964, 1966, 1970, February 1974, October 1974, 1979, 1983 and 1987 General Elections. She stood down in 1992. Following boundary changes, the bulk of her former constituency of Finchley was incorperated into a new constituency called Finchley and Golders Green. It was won by Labour's Rudi Vis at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 General Elections.
What evidence is there in The Wizard of Oz that the Wizard doesn't relate to Populism?
The evidence tends not to present the Wizard as a believer in, or supporter of, Populism. For the Wizard of Oz seems more like a benevolent despot at best, a dictator at worst. He's the Supreme Ruler of the Emerald City. The people of Oz are used to absolute rule by hereditary monarchs. And there's no indication that the Wizard tampers with historical, traditional ways of governing, and getting things done, in Oz. Neither does he seem to rely on popular opinion, or on any form of political organization or judicial or legislative checks to executive powers. The descriptions in the book give the impression of rule from the top down. And the people just happen to be lucky that the Wizard makes advantageous, beneficial decisions that aren't based at all on their expressed choices or preferences. In fact, the book reveals that petitioners, residents, and visitors don't know what the Wizard really looks like, because he changes appearances and shapes with each audience. In fact, no one is encouraged to seek audience with the Wizard. Those that do end up waiting. And those that get in to the Throne Room are treated to humbling, terrifying sound and light shows. And they're required to do something in exchange for any services granted. The lack of an open interaction with his people, the distance between him and his people, and the decisionmaking without any political organization don't make the Wizard look at all Populist-friendly. The meeting of the people's needs fits in with Populist concerns over the welfare of farmers and workers. But the way in which the Wizard meets these needs aren't at all Populist-friendly. Where are the equivalents of the weekly radio talk, the town hall meeting, the regular press conferences, and the ambling about to get to know the constituency?
Who is Mabel Dove-Danquah?
Mabel Ellen Dove was a freedom fighter, political activist, first female member of the Legislative Assembly in the Gold Coast, journalist and prolific writer.Ms Dove was born in Accra in 1905. Her parents were the famous lawyer Francis Dove of Freetown, Sierra Leone, who settled in Accra, and Madam Eva Buckman of Osu. Her father sent her and her sisters to school in Freetown. On completion of her elementary school, she went to the Annie Welsh Memorial Secondary School in Freetown. Like her other sisters, she was sent to England to do her post-secondary school course.She did a secretarial course at Gregg Commercial College and qualified as a professional secretary at the age of 24. The graduates of that college and Pitman's College were very much in demand in England, the colonies, the Commonwealth and the USA. They manned the secretarial section of most departments, in the Home Civil Service, the colonial offices in the colonies and the Civil Service of the Commonwealth countries.She was, therefore, expected to return to the Gold Coast and enter the civil service. But she went to Freetown, worked for some time for a commercial company, before returning to the Gold Coast and worked as a secretary with A.G. Leventis.Her love for journalism took the better part of her and she started writing articles in the Times of West Africa. Her articles made her popular and showcased her literary talents, to the admiration of the paper's owner, Dr J.B. Danquah, and other scholars of the day.Dr Danquah's admiration of her turned to love and the love turned into marriage. Ms Dove became Mrs Mabel Ellen Danquah. Unfortunately, in the course of time the marriage collapsed. The Times of West Africa also ceased to function. She then moved on to the African Morning Post.Ms Dove confirmed her credentials as a firebrand and an anti-imperialist during the sedition trial of two of her colleagues on the African Morning Post, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Wallace Johnson, a founding member of the West African Youth League which was then at the forefront, calling for self-government now. The sedition case was over an article written by Wallace Johnson and published by Nnamdi Azikiwe in his newspaper, the African Morning Post, in 1936.The article was, "Has an African a God?" That article sought to indict the European colonial masters for their iniquities in Africa under the guise of introducing Christianity into Africa, with the Bible in one hand and a sword in the other. After a protracted trial, Wallace Johnson and Nnamdi Azikiwe returned to their respective countries, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. By then, Ms Dove and the youth of the day had become more disenchanted with British rule.When Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah took the centre stage of politics in the Gold Coast after he founded his Convention People's Party (CPP) in June 1949, Ms Dove became one of his early converts and journalists for his paper. She became a member of staff of The Accra Evening News. Like all the staff of The Accra Evening News, she used her journalistic prowess, will power and her newly-found bitter distaste for British rule in the country to pour venom on British imperialism and agitated for immediate self-government for the Gold Coast.She supported the Positive Action of January 8, 1950 launched by Dr Nkrumah and the CPP. She whipped up the enthusiasm of the people in her articles in the Accra Evening News. She joined the propagandists in the media house and waged a persistent and unrelenting war on the British, demanding "Self-Government Now"!She, however, escaped arrest, trial and imprisonment as happened to almost all her colleagues, including Dr Nkrumah. She, therefore, failed to win the coveted crown, "Prison Graduate".As a full-fledged member of the CPP, Ms Dove went into full gear to organise the women to join the party in their numbers and fight shoulder to shoulder with the men to win independence for the Gold Coast.During the general election of 1954, Ms Dove's hard work in organising the women for the CPP and her journalistic work at the Accra Evening News during the 1950s were rewarded when she was put up as a CPP candidate for Ga Rural.She won the election hands down. Her election as the first female member of the Legislative Assembly was a remarkable achievement and a landmark in the political history of the Gold Coast. Her entry into the National Assembly coincided with the exit of her former husband, Dr Danquah, who, unfortunately, lost his seat in rural Akyem Abuakwa.In the National Assembly, she became the spokeswoman on women and children's affair, as well as the issues of independence for the Gold Coast. Her debating skills and intelligent contributions to the discussions on bills on the floor of the House won the hearts of her male counterparts. They all missed her when she failed to make it to the House again in the 1956 general election.Her early exit from the National Assembly in the 1956 general election was a big dent on her political career.Male chauvinism, which had been the subject matter of some of her short stories, brought to an end her membership of the National Assembly when her constituency selected a man as its CPP candidate instead of her.She, however, continued to work for the independence of the country within the party but outside the National Assembly. She felt contented with her brilliant political career when the Gold Coast gained independence on March 6, 1957. She had achieved her aim. The name Ghana came from the fertile brain of her former husband, Dr Danquah. From then on, she turned her attention to her career as a freelance journalist till the end of time.At 79, she was called to her Maker. Thus ended the life of the first woman member of the Legislative Assembly in the Gold Coast-a political writer for newspapers, a freedom fighter, a writer of short stories, a courageous woman who always put the fortunes of her country first, even at the risk of her life, and who was prepared to stand up against injustice, oppression and suppression of the masses, even though she was a bourgeoisie.i just see it on some websites :))
