London Really IS Calling

 

All of the truly great leaders of the United Kingdom have stood at the Treasury Bench and submitted themselves to Question Time. These tumultuous times are no different. This week on the United Kingdom’s Most Trusted Podcast® we will be taking your queries, inquisitions and general cross examinations. But remember! You have to be a member of this House to ask!

As the Great Man himself once said, “You do your worst – and we will do our best!”

    That picture. . .is so horrifying.  Someone must show it to James.

    If, by the grace of God, England manages Brexit… What country would go next?

    So my question doesn’t get overlooked in the list, I’ll repeat it here:

    I’ve love to hear James and Toby address the potential role of Nigel Farage and the Brexit party. Are they spoilers, or could they potentially align with the Brexit-favoring Tory MPs to finally push through a real-deal Brexit?

    If the British elites manage to kill Brexit, what happens next?  Violent protests?  Quiet resignation and acceptance?

    It seems like most of the anti-Brexit arguments that I hear are economic ones – that the UK will have a better economic future if it remains within the European Union.  Political freedom seems to be of no concern to the anti-Brexiteers.  Hitching their wagon to the European Gravy Train far outweighs the desire to steer a political or cultural course separate from the European conglomerate, now and in the future.  Is this an accurate perception from an American perspective, or am I not getting a complete and accurate picture of the anti-Brexit arguments?

    Perhaps our Brits can comment on this post by Tom Luongo ” Boris Johnson- Brexit Hero in the Making or Goat?

    Key Point “The Queen’s Consent” – ( Also made by Mish Shedlock  with joy and the London School of Economics with tears a few days earlier):

    The following is why Johnson can still raise the pot.

    Parliament is a law-advising body. The Government proposes legislation: The Houses discuss and amend it and send it back to the Government, which then presents it to the Sovereign — the Queen — to put into law.

    … when Parliament seizes control of the floor, any legislation it forces onto the government still has to be taken by the government to the Queen. If the government refuses, it opens itself up to a vote of no confidence and the government could fall in a general election.

    … Parliament doesn’t represent the current polling. The opposition is the one without the mandate and they know it. Otherwise they would have agreed with the government’s bill to call an election before the Article 50 deadline of Halloween to seize power and stop Brexit.

    So, Parliament putting forth a bill that the government doesn’t agree with but who still has the confidence of the House of Commons is under no obligation to present the bill to the Queen. Johnson can simply sit on it and dare Corbyn, et al., to remove him from office.

    That’s the key.”

    “The Government makes laws in the U.K., not the House of Commons. This is the Government’s turf. Johnson called the Remainers bluff on this bill by offering them the one thing they are supposed to want but are desperate to avoid, an election.

    Johnson looks like the magnanimous one, respecting the people’s will while Parliament looks like the tyrannical and disconnected overmasters pathetic in their desperation to retain power and sell out the country to the European Union.”

    Will Boris Johnson keep his word to the British people and take them out without a deal which is what he has campaigned on or will he blackmail Parliament and the British people with Mrs. May’s Treaty of Surrender tweaked slightly on the Irish backstop?

    • If he does the former he’ll be a hero and will change the face of the world.

    • If he does the latter he’ll be a the Goat that Betrayed Britain.

    Choose wisely Boris. Nigel is watching.
