The House of Lords has been demanding changes to the Rwanda bill before they pass it. Practically speaking, what happens if the Lords just refuse to move on the bill, or any other? Can the government compel them to pass it?

After three readings I believe the government can override the lords on any bill, but that takes a while.

OwlFancier posted:After three readings I believe the government can override the lords on any bill, but that takes a while. Close, but not quite. All bills are read three times in the Lords before they pass, although sometimes the process is a formality. First reading in the Lords is when the upper house is made aware of the bill. Second reading is where the Lords debate the bill and raise any concerns. Third reading is the amendments stage, after which the bill is returned to the Commons. If the bill is fairly straightforward then Second Reading is basically "OK, looks alright, we don't need a third reading but we'll say we did". If the Lords amend a bill, the Commons must agree on the wording. This often leads to what is known officially as "ping pong" - I kid you not, it's the term used on the Parliament website - where the bill is sent back and forth between the houses with new revisions until both find a wording that they agree on. If this goes on for more than one year from the date of Second reading in the Commons (the first Commons debate), then and only then can the Commons send a bill for royal assent without the consent of the Lords.

I think they have to go through a whole cycle of a parliamentary year before the Lords can be ignored(??) so Rishi won't be able to force it through in time e: Beaten like a royal princess https://twitter.com/meghanxhaz/status/1766985998863650934 fuctifino fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Mar 11, 2024 |

There are a whole bunch of positions in the UK where you have to swear an oath of personal allegiance to the monarch - MPs, armed forces, the judiciary, police, and notably people naturalising as UK citizens. That was already very silly and objectionable under the last monarch but imagine having to do it now lol.

waiting for the next dramatic twist in the royal soap opera like  Did Kate ever really exist? Perhaps it's an actress been playing her all these years and now she's had a better offer from Hollywood.

That said: if Sunak does stretch out this government absolutely as long as possible, he will be able to force it through before closing Parliament as the last possible date for that is 17th December this year. It would literally be the last thing he did, and I can see him doing it because he knows Starmer won't reverse it.

In a hundred years it'll be a piece of trivia that the UK technically still has a monarchy but they all mysteriously vanished over the course of 2024 and no-one ever worked out where they all went.

Just had a vivid thought that the Bob Morons and David Ickes of the world are going to loving love this. Just needs King Chuck to fall off of his throne and a dozen iguanas to scurry out of his empty monarch suit for the royals to finish one upping the stupidest poo poo on earth.
