1. Campaigning with devolved Governments and the EU Ben McKendrick & Julia Toft – the British Heart Foundation

2. The theory… What is devolution? How we campaign (in Scotland and beyond) Why is devolution/ Europe important? One size doesn’t fit all – where it doesn’t work so well Case studies – where it has worked well

3. The theory… Scotland Act 1998, SP 1999 Devolved/reserved powers? Education, foreign affairs, local government, health, taxation, energy, the armed forces, criminal justice

4. BHF across the UK

5. What is different at Holyrood to Westminster ? Constituency and list MSPs... Minority govt- so arguments matter Access to MSPs/Ministers is easier They expect you to talk to them - first Effective campaigns less confrontational Civic society more influential (?)

6. What doesn’t work at Holyrood? Saying - England’s done it, why aren’t you? Shouting too loud... Bombarding MSPs with content - when they will listen to YOU anyway Shoehorning Scottish campaigners into an action eg A Fit Choice?

7. Case Study - Headline goes here

9. Cigarette vending machines are totally out of order

10. Example from Holyrood – vending machines BHF focus on Vending machines across UK Building consensus- eg via CPG Close working with Ministers, SPADs, other parties Govt and other parties onside.... Then - Industry lobby + change in Labour ranks = a last minute wobble... 2 weeks of intense lobbying to get a u turn...

11. When e-campaigning really worked Parliamentary motion- 26 signatures, 4 party support- campaigners crucial Using the media- eg letters to editors Countering the tobacco industry/small retailers’ arguments - in each constituency Result... Labour vote against own amend So - as a TACTIC - can be very effective

13. Case Study - Headline goes here Campaigning in a 4 nation way can be really hard...
