This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee of Public Accounts scrutinises the reasons behind individual departments exceeding their allocated resources, and reports to the House of Commons on whether it has any objection to the amounts needed to rectify the reported excesses. In 2012-13 two bodies breached their expenditure limits: the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Food Standards Agency. The Ministry of Defence also required a token increase because of a Defence Votes A excess. On the basis of the examination of the reasons why these bodies exceeded their voted, the Committee has no objection to Parliament providing the necessary amounts by means of an Excess Vote. Nevertheless, it expects the Department for Communities and Local Government to set out what actions it has taken to improve their financial management and avoid exceeding their allocated resources in the future. And, as recommended last year, HM Treasury, as the UK's Ministry of Finance, should ensure departments are fully aware of the need to operate within their voted provisions. HM Treasury should continue to regularly monitor the progress departments are making against their Estimates during the year and, where possible, take appropriate action to prevent departments exceeding their provision.

This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee of Public Accounts scrutinises the reasons behind individual Departments exceeding their allocated resources, and reports to the House of Commons on whether it has any objection to the amounts needed to rectify the reported excesses. The Committee may also make recommendations to Departments concerning the causes of these excesses. In 2010-11, two bodies breached their expenditure limits: The Department for Transport breached its Net Cash Requirement by £335.2 million, primarily because of weaknesses in monitoring its budget for the operation of its rail franchises; The Teachers' Pension Scheme (England & Wales) breached its Net Cash Requirement by £11.9 million because the Department for Education underestimated the number of members that would retire in 2010-11 and overestimated the contributions that would be collected from employers. On the basis of an examination of the reasons why these two bodies exceeded their voted provisions, the Committee has no objection to Parliament providing the necessary amounts by means of an Excess Vote. Nevertheless, it expects both bodies to set out what actions they have taken to improve their financial management and avoid exceeding their allocated resources in the future.

Download or read book M O V E THE PRESIDENT written by Rama Raju and published by Ethereum LLC. This book was released on with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *20% of net proceeds will be donated to organizations that fight voter suppression and support voting rights* We are all created equal, but not our votes. In 2016, Hillary Clinton beat out Donald Trump for the popular vote and by millions of votes in states like California and New York. In a “winner-take-all” format, she was given all the electoral college votes for those states. Unfortunately, the millions of additional voters in favor of Clinton in those states were basically worthless. Conversely, since Trump didn’t win electoral college votes in those states, the millions of Californians and New Yorkers who voted for him were also statistically irrelevant. They had no part in getting him elected. Trump won the election because of his voters mainly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona. Combined together, he won by just 314,000 votes in just those 5 states alone. Voters in those five states were statistically more important than the millions of voters in California and New York. What if just a fraction of Clinton’s excess voters in California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland moved to battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona? Madam President would have thanked them from her Oval Office. In a new playbook for winning elections, this book discusses how everyday passionate politicos can M.O.V.E. (Make Our Votes Elect) the President. It is rare for a candidate to win the popular vote but lose the election. It has only happened four other times in our nation’s history. However, we’re entering an era where winning the popular vote and losing the general election will occur more frequently. Why? Because most of the nation’s key demographic transformations are occurring in states that matter the least to the electoral college process. Each year, around 40 million Americans, or about 12% of the current U.S. population, moves at least once. Much of that movement involves younger people relocating within states that already heavily lean toward a certain political party. What if they made a conscious decision to M.O.V.E. to a battleground state? Well, our votes would be equal, the way we were created.

Download or read book Making Votes Count written by Gary W. Cox and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-28 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular elections are at the heart of representative democracy. Thus, understanding the laws and practices that govern such elections is essential to understanding modern democracy. In this book, Cox views electoral laws as posing a variety of coordination problems that political forces must solve. Coordination problems - and with them the necessity of negotiating withdrawals, strategic voting, and other species of strategic coordination - arise in all electoral systems. This book employs a unified game-theoretic model to study strategic coordination worldwide and that relies primarily on constituency-level rather than national aggregate data in testing theoretical propositions about the effects of electoral laws. This book also considers not just what happens when political forces succeed in solving the coordination problems inherent in the electoral system they face but also what happens when they fail.

Download or read book Eat Drink Vote written by Marion Nestle and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's wrong with the US food system? Why is half the world starving while the other half battles obesity? Who decides our food issues, and why can't we do better with labeling, safety, or school food? These are complex questions that are hard to answer in an engaging way for a broad audience. But everybody eats, and food politics affects us all. Marion Nestle, whom Michael Pollan ranked as the #2 most powerful foodie in America (after Michelle Obama) in Forbes, has always used cartoons in her public presentations to communicate how politics—shaped by government, corporate marketing, economics, and geography—influences food choice. Cartoons do more than entertain; the best get right to the core of complicated concepts and powerfully convey what might otherwise take pages to explain. In Eat Drink Vote, Nestle teams up with The Cartoonist Group syndicate to present more than 250 of her favorite cartoons on issues ranging from dietary advice to genetic engineering to childhood obesity. Using the cartoons as illustration and commentary, she engagingly summarizes some of today's most pressing issues in food politics. While encouraging readers to vote with their forks for healthier diets, this book insists that it's also necessary to vote with votes to make it easier for everyone to make healthier dietary choices.
