Ohtsam posted:Can the queen dissolve parliament and force a general election anymore? I'm not sure if that's an actual power she has, but if she did it'd fall under the heading of "powers that technically exist but would immediately be followed by the abolishment of the monarchy if practised" so long as the parliament that's loving up the country still has the backing of a significant chunk of the electorate. Then again, going by the last couple months of Theresa May clinging to power, it's entirely possible that no one can figure out the logistics of deposing the queen, even if she pissed off all of Britain.

Wasn’t there a story of Tony Blair going „I have a royal decree dissolving parliament and ordering general elections in my pocket and all that it needs to attain legal force right now is my signature“ in order to threaten the HoC into w/e?

Pener Kropoopkin posted:No, but they can move freely with no restrictions across the border, which is a direct connection to the homeland that will be permanently severed without the backstop. That's an inconvenience, and given we all have Irish and British citizenship anyway it's unlikely to be a major one. It's not something anyone's going to start an insurgency over.

The queen hasn't had the power to dissolve parliament since the fixed term parliaments act was introduced. Before then the queen (exclusively under the advice of the PM in modern times) could call an election at any time. Now an election requires a two thirds vote in the commons, a vote of no confidence in the government, or 5 years to have passed since the last election.

A senior MP said the problems could cause a public health and environmental pollution emergency. An EA source said: “It could all get very ugly, very quickly.”

The main factor that set off the Troubles was the extremely lovely and bigoted laws and systematic prejudice against Catholics, and that the peaceful movement made to address this was violently kept down. Not straight up Irish nationalism. That just became an easy fellow flyer and hypothetical solution to the Catholic side. Honestly it seems to me that the more likely resumption of violence is Brexit leading to a majority of NI people voting to unify with the Republic, and the hardcore DUP types revive the Protestant terrorist groups in response.
