Raskolnikov38 posted:its quite simple: no the 1st bit of the extension is not tied to anything, it's on the EU's end and it happened. May could fail to pass it which would be incredibly funny but really it only fucks up parliament By the 12th of April, the UK needs to decide if it will capitulate to treacherous europeans if it does, the UK leaves the EU in May (it will not) if it doesn't, UK also needs to decide whether it will hold euro parliament elections if it does, it can ask for a long extension and we'll either have an election or may will stop replying to her texts for as long as it takes if it doesn't, UK catches fire on april 12th

If we had longer I'd be cheering for someone to sue the EU and rule that article 50 is void if you gently caress your exit bill hellworld has failed us on this, truly the funniest outcome Shear Modulus posted:why does labour have people in the house of lords lords has the same parties and the pm tells the queen who to give lifetime appointments to, so it's your go-to bribe payment for your mates and anyone too poo poo to win elections but still useful the ones who get it because great granddad did a genocide are elected from a pool of everyone who's great granddad did a genocide and there arent many of them (allowed to be in lords, sorry, there's loads of post-genocidal failsons) then there are some priests and nobody gives a gently caress what they think Spangly A has issued a correction as of 23:07 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Spangly A posted:no Yes, but, the UK can leave at any point in the 2 year (+extension) period.

Randler posted:My understanding is that the UK will leave the EU on April 12th as the earliest due to the terms of the extension. Whatever British parliament might decide regarding the date of exit should be irrelevant from a legal perspective as EU membership would be governed by EU law and not whatever national laws might be passed. (Although I would really like to see the UK considering itself outside the EU by 29 March with the rest of the EU considering it a Member State until 12 April, just to turn the chaos up a notch.) that would be maximum chaos no deal brexit whereas leaving on the 12 is infinitesimally less than maximum chaos brexit

Shear Modulus posted:why does labour have people in the house of lords There was a socialist revolution about 40 years ago, so now all the former nobility are forced to work in heavy labor duties and thus mingle with the proletariat. They're allowed to be in parliament as long as they behave and don't exploit the cat on No. 10.

Shear Modulus posted:why does labour have people in the house of lords Because Prime Minister can give out life peerages. There's 90 hereditary peers who sit in the Lord's (ironically the only elections to the Lord's are when a hereditary peer dies there's an election to decide which hereditary peer replaces them, though it's not the public voting on this obviously) and over 650 life peers. They are often ex-MPs who lost their seat or retired, party donors, but sometimes there's luminaries of various fields who sit as Crossbenchers. And then there's Bishops too, because lol state church. But the point is the Lord's does have an important role in our dumb hodgepodge unwritten constitution so it'd be counterproductive for Labour to just refuse to take seats there when you can. Should probably be replaced with a 2nd chamber elected by PR for a lengthy term or something but electoral reform always ends up low down the list of priorities

They are often ex-MPs who lost their seat or retired, party donors, but sometimes there's luminaries of various fields who sit as Crossbenchers. Plus by and large the lords is actually a fairly reasonable review body at the moment. The lords can send legislation back to parliament, but if parliament wants it can force laws through the lords. Funnily enough not fighting elections means the lords are a lot more likely to decide things on principle, rather than because a focus group or a PAC or donors or lobbyists tries to bribe them. It's not perfect, but despite it's hilariously antiquated and undemocratic nature, serves its purposes quite effectively these days for the most part.
