Queen hasn't mattered ever

2019-10-16 09:06:29 UTC  

(This Queen)

2019-10-16 09:07:51 UTC  

The UK royalty haven't played a direct role in governance here for hundreds of years

2019-10-16 09:08:10 UTC  

The current queen has set the precedent of not being involved -at all-

2019-10-16 09:09:03 UTC  

Some of it had to do with the fact the Royal Family were predominantly of German origin, so they went very quiet at the outset of the World Wars

2019-10-16 09:09:16 UTC  

It's what really put them in their box

2019-10-16 09:09:35 UTC  

right but they seem to have some power I mean setting aside parliament of a time longer than usual seemed to be something the queen had to agree to

2019-10-16 09:10:14 UTC  

The queen has to rubber-stamp everything, that's what "set the precedent of not being involved at all" means

2019-10-16 09:10:50 UTC  

Why would the queen want to take sides, cause a constitutional crisis, and sign the death-warrant of the royal family forever?

2019-10-16 09:11:01 UTC  

@Eccles You think that parliament doesn't want GE, but the French Europe minister (whatever that is) said that only a general election or second referendum could be reasons for further etensions on brexit <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-10-16 09:11:17 UTC  

If France goes through with it, watch remainers scramble.

2019-10-16 09:12:01 UTC  

I don't know what will happen, Xav, but a second referendum would be the end of brexit and democracy here

2019-10-16 09:12:12 UTC  

De gaulle part 2: Baguette boogaloo?

2019-10-16 09:12:40 UTC  

The French didn't want us to join in the first olace

2019-10-16 09:12:49 UTC  

Would be fitting for them to "Kick us out"

2019-10-16 09:13:44 UTC  

So who can oppose parliament then?

2019-10-16 09:13:53 UTC  

Overrule them?

2019-10-16 09:14:00 UTC  

yes

2019-10-16 09:14:34 UTC  

Technically the queen can, but won't
The Supreme Court can, but they can only offer judgement on a case, and that case has to be brought by someone
The Supreme Court is also partisan, remain, and globalist in nature

2019-10-16 09:14:38 UTC  

So you won't get any help there

2019-10-16 09:14:47 UTC  

And that's it

2019-10-16 09:14:54 UTC  

Parliament is meant to be the representatives of the people

2019-10-16 09:15:01 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-16 09:15:01 UTC  

Therefore they are designed to be powerful

2019-10-16 09:15:04 UTC  

The issue is

2019-10-16 09:15:10 UTC  

That parliament has vacated that role

2019-10-16 09:15:14 UTC  

No

2019-10-16 09:15:21 UTC  

But still keep the job title and benefits

2019-10-16 09:15:39 UTC  

The parliament represent the people, but they're not representative of the peoples views on brexit

2019-10-16 09:15:59 UTC  

And that's because of the inherent decline in quality of MPs and political parties

2019-10-16 09:16:08 UTC  

Also

2019-10-16 09:16:13 UTC  

If it wasn't for the FTPA

2019-10-16 09:16:19 UTC  

We would have had a GE

2019-10-16 09:16:24 UTC  

Indeed

2019-10-16 09:16:27 UTC  

To fix that misalignment

2019-10-16 09:16:31 UTC  

This has been mentioned

2019-10-16 09:16:50 UTC  

Parl have essentially insulated themselves from the people

2019-10-16 09:16:51 UTC  

right I'm just wonder why the prime minster has no power here at all

2019-10-16 09:16:53 UTC  

Using the FTPA

2019-10-16 09:16:55 UTC  

In this case

2019-10-16 09:16:56 UTC  

FTPA is more lib dem degeneracy
