So what would you call it, then? You're trying to force a major political change on a country thousands of miles away from you against the wishes of the local population, and the population of every country involved.

Imperialism, fucking over the UK, Liberation.

Absolutism is if I had said the UK should return NI and the US should go back to the borders after the 1783 Peace of Paris.

Words have meanings, and that isn't remotely what "absolutism" means.

Also, you might want to add "colonialism" to that list of yours.

In the sense that I was using it yes it does. Some words have more than one meaning ya know. Maybe you should crack open a dictionary sometime.

Nah colonialism doesn’t fit as the US isn’t colonizing anything

Sir Alan Duncan is pushing for an emergency debate tomorrow to see if the newly elected Conservative leader can actually command a majority. Boris may fall at the first hurdle.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day, as the Houses of Parliament go on summer break on Thursday and doesn't come back until 3rd of September. So to get Boris out, the sooner they act the better.

Taking a summer break sounds like a terrible idea, which makes me confident that it will happen.

If Boris loses the vote does that make him the shortest PM?

They should substitute the summer break for a beach episode. Looks like complete filler, but in scene four the shaved ice salesman solves the Irish border.
