Meanwhile, a Dutch MP:

quote:

The only threat to “our way of life” is autocrats and populists like Orbán, Kaczinsky or Johnson, trampling all over the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy. Instead of creating fake portfolios, the Commission should show some more guts in upholding the values we have laid down in our treaties, laws and case law.

Ditch UvdL and make her president.

The Narrator posted:

Is a VONC followed by an election, or a VONC followed by a confidence vote in a new MP, the only way to remove a PM in this case under the FTPM? Say, if a PM deliberately acts unlawfully but there isn't sufficient numbers or political will for a VONC--is that an edge case based on decorum and tradition that isn't planned against?

I don't think there's anything that excludes a PM who acts unlawfully from staying in office if they have the confidence of the house. Afaik, if he maintains the confidence of the house he would have to get a custodial sentence of a year or more to lose office by losing his seat.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER


it's the oldest functioning (well, ostensibly functioning) parliament in the world which throughout its existence has fought the monarch tooth and nail for every scrap of power it could get and which has faced all sorts of creative opposition tactics. if there's some way the sovereign can gently caress with parliament within the basic context of its rules, it's been done

yea king charles hated parliament and dismissed it all the them when he thought he had enough money and didn’t need it. when he did it in 1629 he didn’t call for a new parliament for several years. then he called them back and was a big bitch and tried to arrest several MPs as they sat in the commons. that was unsuccessful because he was 4’9” or whatever and I imagine had the fortitude of a new kitten. that added to the anger against him in what became a civil war that ultimately resulted in his decapitation. but then later the English lost their minds even more and asked his son to reestablish the monarchy

anyway I’ll have an oreo shake

They invited his son back because it turns out being run by a protestant Taliban wasn't any better than having a monarch, and they figured at least the son of the guy they decapitated would be more compliant than the vicious crew of Christian fundamentalists that went on to found America.
