Discussion Quorum posted:So did something specific trigger the wave of resignations, or did one minister call time and then the rest suddenly found their spines? The no-confidence vote was a month ago. he hired a dude knowing said dude had a history of formal complaints of the groping nature against him, lied to everyone about it and sent his ministers out to defend him on false pretences they were understandably loving livid when they found out

Mr. Nice! posted:The denial question was about vigilante truck dude who totaled his vehicle repeatedly ramming the stolen one from behind. Sorry, misunderstood. Those situations are always weird. Yes, intentional acts are specifically excluded...but there's a difference between rammed your car into another car because your mad at someone and rammed your car into another car because you were afraid for your life and needed to get away. The former is an easy denial assuming the evidence supports it was intentional (usually comes down to the police report but I've had people admit it) and the latter which is a judgement call, my company tends towards covering those. Vigilante truck guy ramming Mr. GTA multiple times is questionable, I would lean towards denying if he wasn't in danger, but I'd run it up the chain at least two or three steps before making the final call.

shame on an IGA posted:BoJo will be fine, no one in the UK has a response for demands to resign being met with "lol piss off" Here's how it's been explained to me. The Tories have a "1922 Committee" that's there to represent the rank-and-file MPs ("backbenchers", who are members of the House of Commons but don't have specific executive positions in Johnson's administration) to the Prime Minister. They make the rules over when a party leader can be subjected to a Vote of Confidence by the membership and a new party leader elected, who would become the new Prime Minister. Currently the Conservative party rules under the 1922 Committee state that if they hold a VoC and the party leader makes it through, they can't hold another one for a year. BoJo just survived a Vote of Confidence a short time ago, but with 59% - a result that would ordinarily make a party leader resign in shame anyway. (BoJo has no shame, though.) Now, the 1922 Committee could change that rule so that he could be subjected to another Vote of Confidence, but the current head of the committee said that he's not going to do that. So that's that, right? Well, no. The current committee's tenure is up and there will be a new one seated Monday. It's entirely possible, maybe even likely, that the incoming 1922 Committee will go ahead and change the rule so that they can throw Johnson out on his rear end. This whole thing has been hugely entertaining to me.

The US system creates less democratic results, sure, but the procedural absurdity of UK politics is more like if the Senate was My Little Pony themed. Just centuries of weird roleplay that these grown people take seriously.

Dang that would absorb every molecule of UK press coverage for a month and give him enough time to move on. So that makes it a near guarantee. Hope they fixed that window the 1980s palace intruder used.

Is there any way this British Prime Minister conflict can make the Irish Reunification of 2024 happen? Like, does the queen interceding hit any kind of big reset button, I hope? Maybe some kind of referendum happens and because the voting machines aren't up to EU standards they prefer to further breakaway.
