1: Introduction: whipping for Europe -- 2: Postwar Chief Whips, 1945-70 -- 3: Pym's Whips' Office -- 4: The principle of EC entry: working on the numbers -- 5: The EC Bill: a matter of confidence -- 6: Second Reading: repercussions and recriminations -- 7: Committee stage: tactics and challenges -- 8: Committee stage: unusual channels -- 9: Third Reading: Pym's triumph -- 10: Conclusion: a tale of two chief whips.

This book offers a new perspective on the parliamentary battle for British entry into the European Community (EC) - the forerunner of the EU. It provides a historical case study of how the whipping operation, overseen by the Chief Whip Francis Pym, played a critical role in securing EC entry in 1971-72. More specifically, it explores how the Conservative Government's Whips' Office managed dissent through the concept of 'loyal dissent,' a party management approach characterised by tolerance and respect for dissenting views. It addresses key themes that remain relevant in British politics today: how does a whipping operation resolve the tension between toleration of dissent, the imperatives of party loyalty and the overriding objective of consistently securing government majorities in the division lobbies? What subtle or indirect methods of party management can be employed to minimise or nullify dissent, without recourse to punitive sanctions? Is respect for individual conscience the best means of avoiding damaging party splits on controversial and divisive issues? This book highlights the role of the whips during the parliamentary battle for entry into Europe, but it also places a spotlight on Britain's adversarial politics. Whipping is symptomatic of a culture that emphasises party loyalty and discipline but appears ill-suited to issues of fundamental constitutional principle or individual conscience that go above and beyond normal party politics. It can be argued that Britain's relationship with Europe belonged in this category. Pym's whipping operation was critical in securing parliamentary approval for Britain's entry into Europe, but this success relied on a subtle and skilful circumvention (even subversion) of the rigidities of an adversarial whipping system. Geoff Horn is a Lecturer in Politics at Newcastle University, UK, with over ten years of experience in teaching, including leading on modules in British politics, EU politics, and comparative politics.
