The New York Times had one of those “look how pathetic Britain is” articles last year where they took pictures of a bunch of miserable looking poor people celebrating the queen’s whatever the gently caress anniversary and it was the saddest thing ever

Hobo posted:Ruth Davidson has quit as the leader of the Scottish Conservatives. wow, what will they put on the leaflets now? Seriously her relative ability to pretend she's a human being has been the main thing getting people to vote for the Scottish Tories from the looks of how much they push her in publicity, what kind of dingus is going to replace her and who is going to like them remotely if her resignation speech is 90% invective toward Boris then she might have some kind of reputation left but really what has been the point of her

More AI fun:quote:The Queen has agreed to Boris Johnson's request to prorogue parliament for one week over her "exhortations." However, David Cameron is determined to hold on to the throne, insisting that it will "not change the fact that I feel very strongly about it". In the clip, Johnson said he had no control over whether he'd be allowed in the building. "The House of Lords has never held a referendum and I think there's a good chance that they will not, in two weeks' time. That's what I'd like to do, which is to let Boris prorogue it with no fuss and no fuss will a very, very good result and we're all totally hosed. https://www.ai21.com/haim

The Graun, while condemning this particular BoJo move, just can't keep helping themselves to a fat rail of rules lawyering: quote:Hyperbole is inevitable at times of political stress and it is true that Mr Johnson is pushing the UK into a constitutional crisis. But to properly assess the gravity of the situation it helps also to keep it in perspective. This is a cynical, premeditated blow against the principle of parliamentary democracy but it is not a total subversion of the constitutional order on a par with a military putsch. The prime minister is exhibiting the irresponsible arrogance of which he has long been known capable. But he is also operating within the technical parameters of what the British political system allows in all its archaic peculiarity. Also please ask more questions about wtf you're still doing with all that 'archaic particularity'

If Corbyn can pass a VONC is there anything that stops him also passing, or even including, a directive to seek an extension to do an election? Like a: this parliament has no confidence in the prime minister and b: the prime minister must go and ask for an extension from the EU for <x> time?

American hear. Does holding a queen's speech actually involve the queen giving a speech, and is it related to what the speech was called for?

I would suggest that that would be covered by "if he can pass a VONC" I am asking if there is a specific parliamentary rules reason why we could pass a VONC but not a necessary subsequent piece of legislation to actually have an election.

The Queen does a speech to open a new session of parliament, it is written by the existing government laying out the legislation they will table in the session. The only thing unusual with this one is the timing, which is explicitly to prevent parliament voting down a no deal brexit

The queen's speech is the formal opening of parliament for (usually) the year. It does, in fact, involve the queen giving an actual speech, prepared by parliament, laying out a general "this is what we'd like to do this year" Prorogation is the closing of parliament at the end of the session, which theresa may had staunchly avoided doing during her premiership because she wasn't sure she could convince her near non existent government to open it again  Which is why boris is doing it now to be a knob.

Opening and closing parliament is basically a tradition and doesn't really need to happen as evidenced by the fact that May just didn't do it. Although it does happen during an election and passing a queen's speech is basically the mechanism by which a government is cemented as it demonstrates their majority.

I once again recommend the only good thing cameron put his name to (though brown commissioned it) and that's the big book of how 2 parliament that came out during the coalition. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/60641/cabinet-manual.pdf Chapter one gives a quite good overview of how the queen is the powerhouse of the parliament.

You can't talk about the opening of parliament without bringing up the crazy theatre around it where the Lords kidnap an MP and the Commons are effectively forced to go to the Lords chamber to hear the speech.
