A lot of the rhetoric about the proroguing is basically "Boris is defying the sovereignty of the parliament" or something to that effect
which is obviously a terrible take
Ahoy !
Presumably because democracy is more important than the power of the legislative branch in your opinion?
sort of
legislative and executive power are considered seperate things for a reason
Giving the legislature so much control over the latter isn't a good idea
We need to implement a Social Credit System ASAP
:|
any more than it would be to give the executive tons of power over the legislature
Makes sense, something interesting for me to think about at least
that said, regarding the multiple executive things
actually nevermind
Hahah no worries
eh, whatever
I'd been thinking about a concept for a constitutional monarchy that does a sort of co-executive thing with the monarch and an elected president
not really a serious "I think this is a thing that should be implemented" kind of idea, though
but it does seem like there'd be a couple advantages
I'd say the speeches from this anime can apply to today
Personally I'm bracing myself for an immortal A.I. construct out of San Francisco to just sieze power
Skynet
Or Cortana
It'll be that but funded by Facebook
Although kosch, your idea sounds pretty similar to the uk but I'm guessing with tweaks
Like a Constitution for one
the power would be shared more equally
I know the queen does have power
but it's not a lot
that said, the idea was more based around the american system, so I don't know how well certain things translate
But that's a point though
The UK could really use a written constitution IMO
Far as I'm aware, the "unwritten constitution" is basically just centuries of legal precedent, which doesn't sound like a great thing to hang your entire government on.
Yeah it's easily undone
See: Tommy Robinson, Dankula etc
Imho,they should get rid of the monarchy
Imho yes that too even though I'm rather fond of the queen
That being said
It is pretty cool that the PM has someone to talk to whose seen all heads of government for the last several decades
