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.
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
