Can they even do so like in the US? After all, they are appointed by the Queen and the Lord Chancellor, also appointed by the Queen, has the last word on it. Also, I don't see the supreme court becoming nearly as partisan as the american one. |
Thats just it.... The prime minster isnt the people's, hes the queen's.
Brits are still subjects, under the queens rule.
It gets odd once you think about how they dont even have a majority, and the Prime minster broke the law, to try and force a outcome.
US democracy isnt fantastic either.
Super voters? (ei. not every vote/voice counts equal?), The moveing of border lines to effect votes, when the vote is held (in order to effect outcomes), the fact that only winners count towards the totals ect.
Like in most other reasonable democacy's its just the popular vote = winner.
US has odd rules, that make the entire thing slightly less fair imo.
Donal Trump had less votes overall than Hillary.
Yet hes the president.
Back to the UK: Boris shouldnt even be Prime minster, once he lost the support for a majority, they should have found a new one.
How can you have a democacy where you dont even follow the simple rule of "majority = leads"?

Then theres this (slightly improvised):
Mrs. May : We want a Unicorn.
EU 27 : Unicorns don't exist. You can have a mule.
Mrs. May : We want atleast a pony.
EU 27 : OK, you can have your pony.
Parliament rejects the pony. Mrs. May resigns.
Boris Johnson : We rejected the pony. We want a Unicorn.
EU 27 : Tell us where we can find Unicorns and how to get there. We will find one for you.
After a while.
UK : We are discussing how to catch a Unicorn.
EU 27 : No, we are not discussing that. We are still waiting for the map of the place where Unicorns exist and the route to get there. If we don't have that map and route soon, you won't get your Unicorn.
UK : This is all political posturing from the EU 27. We will get our Unicorn. We are almost there.
Brexit is a joke.
