UK Politics Thread X: Boris party report released

[Celritannia]

This Jubilee weekend, Queen Liz should force the government to resign and call for an election.

This is why a codified constitution should exist, to allow a constitutional commission to allow the head of state to use specified powers in certain emergency circumstances.

This is an emergency circumstance.

Make me King, I've never sexually assaulted anyone.

Kinda odd that you would just state that....

Better qualifications than the number nine in the line.

What exactly is the emergency circumstance?

Mostly, what exactly is emergency about it?

The Tory government assuming absolute control and removing democratic principles.

Oh yeah the postponed Northern Ireland centenary celebrations are on tomorrow, get your flags flegs ready.

Never. This is a constitutionally insane proposal.

The Crown must never be seen to intervene in a partisan political process; it would mean the immediate end of the monarcy.

The argument for a codified constitution is entirely separate from an argument over the ability of the Crown - or its designated representatives - to intervene in the political process.

And I'm not entirely convinced that the correct response to perceived autocracy on the part of the elected head of government is an increase in the power of the unelected head of state (and/or their designated representatives).

Haven't the tories been doing that since 300 years ago?

I just hope everyone who goes today has a good day and it all passes off without incident.

[Old Tyrannia]

As silly as Celritannia's suggestion was, I wish that Her Majesty did actually have the power to dismiss the Prime Minister at will. The difference between Cel and I is that I'd prefer it if she didn't appoint another one.

Tomorrow is Oak Apple Day and it's the Platinum Jubilee celebrations next weekend, so if the Queen was going to attempt a royal coup d'état, it would be an auspicious week to do so.

Any MRP result for Ashfield is less than useless. Their 2019 estimates had Zadrozny on 5%, he got almost 30%.

It's hard to model some local contests from national swings in all fairness. I don't think the model would provide a good result for my own seat of Bristol West - I imagine there might be quite a big swing to the Greens at the next election bigger than what I've seen models predict.

Oh I don't know about that, the nice gentlemen with guns may simply persuade the monarch to abdicate and leave the country so that their nice, compliant heir can take over.

Maybe finally joining the modern world and getting rid of that relic in the palace is just what you need.

Dissolve the UK, maybe the scots and whatever the others were have more luck separately. But still...in a way I am glad the ingiliz decided not to be internationally relevant anymore. As my german friends say: Gott strafe England!

do you not realise how social exclusion and depression works ersumthing...

Bah, weaklings and their excuse mechanisms by method of pseudomedicinal hokum. Psychology belongs in the same bin as astrology.

Lacking self-discipline is disgusting. Refusing to look at the consequence of your own actions, the root of superstition. Leads to religious infection, to imaginary illnesses. Political swindlers take advantage of it all across the spectrum, from "normalizing" mental illness to the mentioned people eating themselves to death, to drug addiction, religious fanaticism... all to excuse the lack of self-control. Yeah, it's easier to have a scapegoat. "But jesus blabluh." "I only eat 20 hamburgers a day because I am so depressed!" "Nobody understands me, bawww" - blergh, get your shit together. Excuses won't help your blood pressure.

Considering you were just warned not too long ago for trolling, given your growing record, you can have a *** One Day Ban for Trolling ***.

[Hirota]

Haven't the tories been doing that since 300 years ago?

The whigs were pretty firmly in power 300 years ago, and would continue to be until about 1780. Even past that time the division between Whig and Tory was far more blurred than now.

By the vast majority of metrics, the UK is amongst the leading nations for soft power on the planet. Delusional posts by Hamidiye with no basis in sanity or reality do not change that fact that Britain remains highly relevant in the international stage.

[Vassenor]

Boris has apparently decided that banning those evil European metric measurements will somehow solve all our problems.

Except the article itself proves that everything Vassenor has just said about banning metric is a complete lie and fabrication, given that there is no indication of banning metric in the article.

What makes these fabrications more absurd is there are other - real - policy changes that are more serious than those spawned in Vass's daydreams.

Reminder that we already talked about Boris rewriting the code several pages ago when the story broke, but don’t let that get in the way of your whataboutism.

And why is bringing back imperial weights and measures so vital to the national interest anyway?
