Leaders like Trump and Putin and Macron increase support for the monarchy too, lots of soft monarchists use the "you'd rather have a president, like [whichever one I like least]?" line, as if the only options are hereditary crime dynasty or directly elected loudmouth. The Swiss system of no single head of state seems like a good one.

I haven't really been following it but you'd expect some of these rebel tories to have popped up and gone "brexit bad but corbyn even worse", but not really?

Another argument is the "it's too engrained/it'd be too much hard work." Which isn't true at all, the most British way to scrap the monarchy would just to remove the monarch, pass an Act of Parliament saying s/Crown/People on all previous law, and keep everything else the same, with the head of state being the Lord President of the Council. The entire thing could then keep trundling on with its mishmash Constitution and magic sticks, only now it'd be called the People's Stick.

Like you'd think the people who are openly risking rebelling against their own party would be the most vocal about needing a compromise candidate, but it's mostly swinson going NOBODY LIKES U JEREMY Spelman going hard with "I won't support a VONC though". Wonder if people really believe there'll be one or if it's general election time

Was super involved with early attempts to legalise contraception in 1973 as a Senator, along with another Senator and now former President, Mary Robinson. In office, he has been critical of the government's austerity measures, stretching the limit of how the role is supposed to be primarily apolitical. He has also been very supportive of trans people lately.

Guavanaut posted:Do they even theoretically have that? My boss is a slavering authoritarian, like he legitimately thinks that society is and should be broadly heirarchial and he loving loves the royal family to the point that he got visibly upset when the rest of the office agreed that the UK national anthem is poo poo. He's not even particularly into the royals as celebrities but he is probably incapable of ever thinking that opposing a power structure can be good. He hates Putin for example but always makes a point of talking about what a "strong leader" he is and how this is a very good thing but isn't it a shame that he isn't a nice Tory instead of a filthy Russian.

It doesn't matter what the "rebel" tory MPs say, they'll stick to the party line in the end. Remember how there were supposed to be five or six of them who'd leave the party if Boris became leader?

What happened to that Rory Stewart bloke that all the libs loved? O wait he has stfu and is happily enabling no brexit I feel like if you asked Swindon/chukka "if the con/lab party changed to your liking would you rejoin it" they would just splutter. Neither care in the sock puppet parties they are apparently leading Chukka's only stated aim is to be the pm and the only way he will do that is on the labour ticket.

What I don't get is why hating the EU and loving Brexit is such a celebrated cause among all the more fashy conservatives worldwide. I mean I guess immigrants and Putin and nationalism, but it's just so loving weird to hear Donald Trump spout Brexiteer talking points. You'd think there'd be at least some disagreement between them. e: Certainly the global left has more than its fairh share of diasgreement.
