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.
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.
