Good luck with the new improved fish (worms) and (cricket) chips. Another win for Klaus and his globalist minions. We cannot roll over for these pukes, this is the actual hill to die on - WEF is a grave existential threat to the USA.

All I can say to voters of the UK (and France) is: “You voted the far left in with a landslide, so enjoy it, because they’re only getting warmed up!”

I predict a lot of Britains will be visiting Mexico soon. Save that long wait for approval to immigrate.

Labour’s vote numbers are actually down slightly. Labour hasn’t won this election, the Tories lost it because they governed like Labour lite and the Conservative support base refused to defend the Tories and instead either stayed home or voted Reform, who are going to become a lot more popular in the years to come.

Isn’t the North Sea oil in Scotland actually? That could be a reason for the Scots to finally leave the UK.

The Monarch can dismiss the Prime Minister, but only under extremely specific circumstances, where a Prime Minister or government is acting totally contrary to constitutional practice. This is very unlikely to happen in the United Kingdom.

It did happen in Australia in 1975 - the Governor-General (the Queen’s representative) actually made the decision, not the Queen herself - but that was such an exceptional case. The socialist government had lost the ability to pass a budget, and the Prime Minister refused to follow normal constitutional practice in advising the Governor-General to call an election. I hope no British government would ever be that incompetent and then try to double down on it. The Australian Prime Minister involved was exceptionally arrogant and ignorant of his constitutional position.

The monarch’s powers to intervene exist to deal with the most serious type of constitutional crisis - not a government going just a little bit far, but one that is verging on being out of control to the extent they are going beyond their generally accepted powers.

The ultimate tipping point in Australia in 1975 was the Prime Minister telling the Governor-General his only plan to deal with the budget crisis was to illegally order the Commonwealth Bank (at that time a government owned and operated bank) to loan the government money. That was a massive overreach of authority. Just asking for a loan, wouldn’t have been - but the PM was afraid they would say no, so he went a step too far.

Thanks! We Freepers know that when the subject is Australia (or Great Britain) we can depend on you!

The future of both nations is up to the Muslims. No one else matters there anymore.

I wonder how long it will be before the UK regrets their vote for labor?

They only got 1/3 of the votes, but 2/3 of the seats in parliament.

Reform UK (Nigel Farage) got 14% of the votes, but only 4 seats (~1% of all seats).

The Liberal Democrats got 12% of the votes, but 76 seats (~11% of all seats).

I guess every voting system has its drawbacks.

See #55 and perhaps re-evaluate.
