genericnick posted:Also not clear it was a viable strategy then. Corbyn could plausible claim a break with the old guard since they camped out in the Guardian offices and told everyone who would listen that he was an anti-semitic judeo-bolshevik. yah i'm not saying it would've necessarily worked for miliband, but what he did try (oh god the loving edstone) just blew up in his face in the most spectacular manner

fun parliament facts its technically not legally possible to resign a seat in the house of commons. once elected you are bound to serve yr term BUT there are certain offices you can hold that disqualify you from continuing to hold a seat in the commons, so any mp who wants to resign is just given either of 2 of those, which forces them out of the house because of how those two specific offices are included in the relevant laws, you can be elected to the commons while holding them—you can go office ➡️ mp w/o conflict and hold both, just not mp ➡️ office this means it is technically possible to be unable to resign a seat in parliament if you resign once, successfully stand for election, resign again w no one else resigning between the first step this one (so you now hold both offices used to disqualify), and are elected again w/o anyone else resigning one of the two offices is the caretaker of a building that collapsed some time before the 17th century. the other is some sorta forest law person i guess

By the way, there's no rule you can make up for how British government works that Americans won't believe. *One seat in the house of Lords is reserved for the winner of the grand national *Scottish MPs may not vote if the crown jewels leave the tower of London. *Some senile old lady has veto power over every single law and owns every swan *If you don't pay the BBC tax your counciler must cover for you and has permission to flog you thereafter

Best quote from Rees-Mogg's wikiquote:In July 2017, Rees-Mogg said: "I've made no pretence to be a modern man at all, ever". During the same interview, he commented that he had never changed a nappy, stating: "I don't think nanny would approve because I'm sure she'd think I wouldn't do it properly". The nanny to which Rees-Mogg refers, by name Veronica Crook, was Rees-Mogg's own nanny from age four, when she joined the family in 1965, and is now nanny to his six children. frankenfreak posted:He named his sixth child Sixtus Peter looking like a young Micheal Gove
