baka kaba posted:what are people saying in response to Labour cutting the married couples' allowance? The whole "nobody earning under 80k will pay any more tax" line is really powerful, so anything that contradicts it ends up being just as powerful as a result. When a lot of people think they're gonna be worse off by specific amount it kinda rings hollow E:

Hypothetically, what happens if the monarch dies during an election? Postpone/abandon it? Carry on with it? Extend it for the duration of the mourning period?

kecske posted:if theres no monarch to confer power to a parliament does the election get abandoned? Queen is dead, long live the King. Assumption of royal privilege is one of the few things known to travel faster than the speed of light. quote:Screens will glow. There will be tweets. At the BBC, the “radio alert transmission system” (Rats), will be activated – a cold war-era alarm designed to withstand an attack on the nation’s infrastructure. Rats, which is also sometimes referred to as “royal about to snuff it”, is a near mythical part of the intricate architecture of ritual and rehearsals for the death of major royal personalities that the BBC has maintained since the 1930s. Most staff have only ever seen it work in tests; many have never seen it work at all. “Whenever there is a strange noise in the newsroom, someone always asks, ‘Is that the Rats?’ Because we don’t know what it sounds like,” one regional reporter told me. Excited to be posting on the ground floor of the Monarchy Died, Socialism Thrived thread.

I imagine the country shuts down and goes into mourning, businesses shut out of respect, no party will campaigning. Literally the worst most boring response to a rich old white lady dying.

There's going to be a ring binder of protocol notes on what to do hand-scribed on fine vellum somewhere on a shelf of the Royal Corphlahhasnasm's office, but realistically in this day and age all bets are off really.

RockyB posted:Queen is dead, long live the King. Yes monarchy transfer is faster than light. quote:“The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.”

The Fixed Term Parliaments Act states that "Where a demise occurs seven days or fewer prior to dissolution or once Parliament has been dissolved, the election will be delayed by 14 days (or to the next working day thereafter if the 14th day is not a working day)" cribbed from reddit.
