Squizzle posted:a bunch of white americans have a strong sense of ancestral pride in and identification w ireland and to a lesser but still present extent scotland The Irish-American identity is waaayyyyy stronger than any kind of Scottish-American identity. I've met tons of Americans that call themselves Irish, but literally not a single one that identified as a Scot. At most you'll get people who liked Braveheart a bit too much, and maybe some of the general "gently caress the British Empire, and Everything it Ever Was" sentiment that still (correctly) hangs around in just about every country.

Grape posted:Why are you saying "turns out she isn't a ceremonial rubberstamp, because Boris Johnson used her as a ceremonial rubber stamp." I think he's talking about her power not being ceremonial. Your queen has absolute power, and she has to do whatever the PM says, so doesn't that mean your PM is effectively just a semi-elected absolute monarch? How the gently caress has this not come up until now?

baka kaba posted:She doesn't technically have to do what he says, but doing what he says is the protocol. She doesn't actively assert those powers herself, which is what makes her position ceremonial. If she did break with that protocol you'd have a constitutional crisis, because it's based on precedent and generally agreed ways of doing things, and suddenly you'd have a monarch who's actually ruling instead of being a figurehead and attracting tourists it...still sounds like Boris is de facto King of Britain. Like is there anything actually stopping him from declaring war on France or ordering that Jeremy Corbyn be shot other than vague precedent and unspoken rules? Because we've seen how vague precedent and unspoken rules work out when conservatives are involved...

PostNouveau posted:Wow did they find a way to reject May's deal for the 8th time? Maybe it'll become a parliamentary tradition. Every new PM brings May's deal up for a vote so it can be rejected by increasingly large margins. If it actually passes, then it can be assumed that they don't command a majority.
