Also from the judgement quote:The next question is whether there is a reasonable justification for taking action which had such an extreme effect upon the fundamentals of our democracy. That's pretty pissed off lol

Rarity posted:With BoJo all the way over in the States can all the opposition MPs hustle back to Parliament now and destroy Brexit while he's still in the plane? I mean, your Prime Minister is not the same person as your House Speaker, so I presume Bercow can convene Parliament at his pleasure and get to business with everyone who shows up, given that it has now been ruled that Parliament should never have been closed in the first place. also lol: has johnson actually accomplished a single thing as prime minister at this point or has he literally been shot down or reversed for every single action his government has taken double also: You know, given that the court has now said that Bojo was not gay but did, in fact, do crimes (or at least performed a "unlawful act", as the court statement put it) when he advised the Queen to prorogue Parliament. So uh... given that he openly did this himself, with witnesses... does that make him a criminal now? The act itself is unlawful, but does that mean Bojo actually committed a crime? Is it criminal to knowingly give the Crown erroneous advice for the purpose of guiding policy?

Anyway, what is going to happen now in act 13 scene 5 of this political farce boogaloo? Can a vote to extend the deadline until an election can be properly held have the wording agreed on and actually pass?

I had a quick scan through the rulings and it's amazing that we're literally referring to stuff like the 1688 Bill of Rights and, in one memorable instance, a statue under Richard III in 1362

Is it criminal to knowingly give the Crown erroneous advice for the purpose of guiding policy? No. This was civil procedure, a bit like if someone broke a contract. Just like in that case the court will offer a remedy, and someone has technically broken the law, but there's nothing criminal about unlawfully proroguing Parliament in the same way as there's nothing criminal about not paying your debts. (I think.) In this circumstance the remedy is to say that Parliament was never prorogued; in the contract example the remedy would be a court order for you to pay what you owe. E: A better example might be copyright law - you're breaking the law if you try to sell a Mario fan-game, but that doesn't mean the pigs breaking down your door and dragging you off to jail.

It's worth noting that this judgement also prevents any further attempts to prorogue parliament. Should have read more sun tsu, dommy.

Buddy you're asking for predictions on British Politics 2019, you'd be as well off asking for next week's lottery numbers, we're incredibly beyond the point of knowing what the gently caress is going to happen. All we know for sure is that the various oppo parties must be in stitches atm

Also, if the outcome of this is parliament was never shut down surely that means all the dismissed legislation is back on the table? A good day for Welsh public toilets.

I'm imagining de Pfeffy frantically trying to get through to Trump asking for help vanishing into the Alaskan wilderness rather than having to fly back home into a shitstorm even bigger than the one he was in a couple of weeks ago. I'm also imagining that the next PodPrax episode will just be every poster ITT HOWLING with laughter like a pack of shot wolves for 90 minutes
