What did historical evolutionists such as Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer have to say about music? What role did music play in their evolutionary theories? What were the values and limits of these evolutionist turns of thought, and in what ways have they endured in present-day music research?

Peace activists in the 1980s did not know that Margaret Thatcher's government feared that US troops...
This paper contains a summary of responses to "The governance of Britain: election day: weekend voting" (2008, Cm. 7334, ISBN 9780101733427), along with detailed responses to specific questions raised in the consultation, conclusions and next steps. A majority (53 per cent) of respondents favoured retaining weekday voting, but there was also a majority in favour of piloting weekend voting, should it be adopted, before introducing it across the UK. A survey of non-voters suggested many would be more likely to vote if an election was at the weekend. But evidence provided by local authorities and electoral administrators suggests that a weekend poll, particularly one held over two days, would add considerably to the logistical complexity of running elections, particularly in terms of finding appropriate staff and premises. The Government believes that the potential benefits are outweighed by the overall lack of consensus, and does not propose to move forward with weekend voting at this time. It would, though, re-examine the option should a stronger view in favour emerge in the future.
