The resignation of Boris Johnson and his cabinet before him does not provide the opportunity for a brand new government to step up.
All those members of the PMs cabinet who resigned yesterday will get the opportunity to decide the new Conservative party leader. Most of them will likely form the new cabinet and one of them will be chosen as the new Prime Minister.
The PM isn’t chosen by the people. The decision doesn’t go to the public vote. There will be no general election.
The PM will be carefully selected in order to pacify the woke mob and legacy media. A pro-Brexit Conservative who goes against <insert current narrative> would be bad for social justice optics. Particularly for a party whose reputation is in the gutter.
Whatever your opinion of Johnson, this isn’t a win. It’s replacing him with another WEF puppet who’s going to play nicely with the EU. All whilst playing musical chairs and reinstalling those who previously “resigned”.
Then the left will yell for a general election as the new PM has “no mandate”.
And so continue the theatrics.
Thank you for the write up.
Thanks...just passing it along....😉😁
Yeah thx Purk, clears it up a bit for us yanks
So, what did Boris do wrong for the DS? I thought he was tracking with their goals pretty well. This can't be all about that one cabinet member who was making all the advances to staffers....
100% correct. I refer you to this.
Kek. Good one.
Not quite the MPs will whittle the list of applicants for PM down to 2 candidates, then constituency parties/members then get a vote. There is no plebiscite to elect the leader but where in the world does such a system exist. Not in the US where the three parts Executive - Legislature - Justice are three co-equal parts - so yes you vote for the President, but the control of the house comes from the number of sitting members each party has.
In UK the part with the most seats in the parliament form the government, the leader of the part becomes the Prime Minister who appoints the cabinet and ministers - from the elected members plus any number form the unelected House of Lords - who then set about preparing legislation.
The anachronistic House of Lords non-elected people, usually appointed ex politicians, party donors and a few supposedly worthies in an upper chamber, they have fancy title Lord this, Baron that etc. Time for this to go and be replaced with just 100 elected persons.
Lords are not usually very nice individuals - to say the least. Lords have always been oppressors and taxers of ordinary folk. Visit the House of Lords which should convince you.
That's why I wish Americans would stop using "Lord" to refer to God or Jesus Christ. Surely you can use some other more respectful word?
tl;dr - "Lords" are basically evil
So what or who do the people vote for then?
In a national election, the citizen votes for someone to represent their voting district in Parliament called a Member of Parliament/MP (like a Congressman in the US system). Each voting district = 1 seat in parliament filled by one MP. The political party that wins the most seats (has the most Members of Parliament), forms the Government. Each party chooses who among them will lead/ speak for their party in parliament, with each sitting MP getting one vote. The leader of the party with the most seats is the "Prime Minister." Citizens in this system never vote directly for the Prime Minister, only for their member of parliament. In practice, political parties determine their leaders ahead of national elections so the people will know who will be prime minister if that party wins the most seats. Some parties get direct input from citizen members of the party when selecting a leader (think primary election in the US). Because Johnson resigned mid term, his party's MPs will select a leader now who will immediately become the Prime Minister.
Some ... but not all? What do those parties do?
Also, how are the members of House of Lords vs. House of Commons elected/selected? What is the breakdown of the power and/or relationship of those two chambers?
Finally, was that structure in place circa 1787?
It would be interresting information for Americans, since our system was roughly based on the British system, with some changes.
thx
No, the Founding Fathers based the U.S. Constitutional Republic form of government on the French system. American government is really nothing like the UK. That form of government is exactly what the Early colonialists left England over. Canada mirrors the UK almost exactly - that’s why we can’t get rid of Trudeau. All the minority parties joined forces with the unpopular liberal party against the Conservatives [who split their party and became even weaker] and Trudeau either blackmailed or bullied his way into the PM role. Most Canadians can’t stand him, but unless everybody decided to vote in only Conservative MPs in their local districts throughout the entire Country, the NDP, Green Party, and Quebec bloc will always join up with the Liberals so they can be part of the “majority gov’t” and Trudeau has the libs by the balls. They’ll never choose another leader. This is exactly the difference between a “democracy” and a republic. In a democracy, “We the People” only really have a voice on the local level. Canadians have no say over who runs their Country. I really wish I hadn’t come here and brought half my family with me. As bad as it is in the States, Canada is much closer to a complete loss of the will of the People.
I was commenting generally and not specifically to any party in the UK. I suppose different political parties have their own systems for internal elections that vary from each other (i,e/ In the US the Dems have "super delegates," party insiders with more influence in the leadership selection process).
As for the House of Lords/Commons question, not something I know about. Maybe someone in the UK can answer.
Hast thou never heard of monarchy? The people vote to securely establish that the people, you see, have indeed voted.
Lol
Something about some dickhead named George.
What with that hereditary dickhead thing, though, it becomes difficult to remember which dickhead did what and when.
Sort of like American politics.
After which, they proceed to congratulate each other for completing an important task that accomplished precisely nothing.
Nigel Farage is the ONlY one I would trust.
Sounds about right. Just more destabilization, polarizing the people to create infighting.
Add in Japan, and Russia and it Seems like they're attacking soverign nations. Like theyre gearing up for something big to happen.
Sounds like? It’s exactly what’s on their agenda - they want to strip every country of its sovereignty and make everybody subservient to the One World Order. In their fantasy the elite among us will be “rulers”. What they don’t seem to realize is there are TOO MANY who think they are entitled to rule. They’ll be chopping off each other’s heads in short order - if it ever comes to that. I believe we will prevail. God won, and Satan cannot take this earth in a direction contrary to God’s plan - no matter how hard he, his demons, and their earthly minions try. It was over before it ever began for them.
as is all politics
Just like here in the US
It's the civil servants who decide what's what..not the politicians.
It's all Greek to me.
Boris Johnson also worked for WEF and EU.
"...It’s replacing him with another WEF puppet..."
I'm done hoping that my homeland can finally rid of their evil politicians. Frankly, I don't want to waste my time with nonsense.
In the back of my mind, I can see a future Trump US leading them out of the stalemate but the change isn't going to happen overnight and it's going to be decades before any meaningful turnaround for the country. The EU will drag them down with them.
Johnson was a faggot anyway.
The ballot for PM is organised by the 1922 Committee, they are back bench MP's, ie, ones not in the cabinet.
There are 3 ballots, the lowest vote applicants are eliminated each time until there is one survivor.
Just to make things clear, Boris has not resigned as PM, he resigned as the Leader of the Conservative Party and will stay where he is as a caretaker PM until a new PM is elected and confirmed as such by the monarch.
Let me ask you this. Do you think the official reason for the resignation makes sense?
There has bene a long chain of events, this was just the straw which broke the camels back. Johnson had a difficult relationship with the truth.
I'm on a train of thought that each country will be government free for a period of time so that their WeThePeople can decide what type of government template they will want going forward.. Especially those countries that never had a say or a vote. If we, who have voted, have been robbed of our choices, imagine those who never had a choice. White hat global alliance and new Nato alliance military around the world, will help peace-keep where needed while countries maintain their societal balance and figure out the governmental structure they wish to have.
Well. That sucks.
Excellent succinct and precise post!
bow to da queen bitches
Thanks for clarifying.
Yep. That about sums it up. And most of them are narcissistic criminal psychopaths, high functioning but clinically insane. Essentially selected, if not groomed throughout their lives via privilege and wealth networks from birth, for private education, social climbing and establishment careers. They not only think they are a cut above made from better stock, they believe it is their birthright to rule over the sheeple. They are disgusting and dangerous in equal measure.
