lol boris wanted an early election to ride into a hard brexit and then radically transform the uk into a libertarian hedge fund tax haven, instead hes going to have his hard brexit and then fight an election while food and petrol riots are in full swing, and also just as pensioners start to drop dead as their medications stop being imported

If you mean "the house of commons could in theory be a really representative body which gave tailored feedback on what each constituency wanted on an ongoing basis" then yeah, in the same way that an adjustable spanner could theoretically be used as a wheel if you put a wheel around it, and didn't want to use it as a spanner.

Relevant Tangent posted:Ceremonial in America does not mean "has powers that if exercised would surely be revoked, has screwed with multiple other nation's governance in living memory, is required for the legal formation of a bunch of other nation's governments, owns all the swans, and is literally the sovereign" it means "has no power despite having a title" you can see how the subtle nuances might trip us up. Doesn't the crown also still own all beached whales and any sturgeon that are caught? Pretty sweet gig they've got, smoked sturgeon rules.

Wales had a kind of learned helplessness thing going on after like a thousand years of being basically part of England so I'm glad they are finally realising it doesn't have to be this way. Although Brexit being the trigger is pretty funny when Wales voted for Brexit but I'm going to blame that on all the English racists who retire there.

Just let England exit the United Kingdom as a new country, so it's only Scottland and Wales which can then revoke Article 50.

On the other hand every Welsh person I've met IRL was really racist so maybe I shouldn't let them off the hook for voting Brexit.

People are just tired of Americans coming into this thread and doing their "whoa look at these inscrutable Brits" spiel every second post. the concept of royal fish and birds is not hard to grasp nor unusual. Many sovereigns used to have them like the medieval kings of Denmark, Skeletor or the dukes of Normandy.

quote:Boris Johnson was elected over his more moderate rival, Jeremy Hunt, with 93,000 votes out of a turnout of just 150,000—all that remains of a Conservative Party that was once 3m strong. More than half are over 55 years old, 70% are men, 97% are white and, as a group, they have far more authoritarian and Eurosceptic views than the population at large.

poty posted:honestly the big takeaway of this whole thing is how strong and good at this the eu is the EU isn't particularly good at anything, it's just that they have all the leverage and the UK has none. Tories insisting they can still dictate terms or use "powers of persuasion" to trick EU bureaucrats into giving up the goat, is just a weak bluff because they've bluffed their whole way through life and don't know how to do anything else.
