I was talking about getting rid of Starmer and other “powers”. So were you.
If the Brits still had arms Starmer’s head would be on a pike. Nevertheless the Brits are on the verge of civil war.
You mean they they jumped willy-nilly and went full-bore higgedly-piggedly ?!? 😮
The Elector of Hanover was invited to take the UK, etc throne by Parliament in 1714 after the death of Queen Anne where he became George I. The Parliament Act of Settlement of 1701 made that happen. This was to guarantee a Protestant succession. Earlier William of Orange who was married to Mary Stuart (a Stuart but a Protestant!) was brought over by Parliament. Parliament made him co-ruler (King) with Mary to be Queen. Then there was Queen Anne she died without issue. The closet non-Catholic relative Parliament could find was the Elector of Hanover - George. In all cases Parliament through legislation decided who was to be king\queen. Parliament could make the long time Labor Party dream come true and abolish the monarchy. It might not be popular but they could do it. Parliament is supreme! It’s issues like that make the UK monarch tread carefully perhaps too carefully!
Whitehall, 30 January 1649.
Can have him beheaded even.
Charles won’t fire him.
So there's hope?
Darn you.
Just link to the law you’re referring to.
It’s not hard.
You’re mistaking what can be called protocol or tradition with law.
The law is the King appoints the PM.
Probably not.
I think the King is a Muslim convert now.
REALLY? There are NO elections for the P.M. now? SINCE WHEN?
Gee whiz...so for the past several hundreds of years, or are you claiming that it's just now, that elections haven't happened and that I and the populace of the UK are delusional; that ALL history books and UK newspapers have out right LIED about elections?
The reigning Monarch meets with and accepts the NEWLY ELECTED P.M. at a strictly ceremonial meting and asks him or her to form a government; the king or queen does NOT "appoint" the P.M., per se! Nor can the he or she REFUSE the duly elected new P.M.! And that has been the case for just shy of 200 years!
No he is NOT! He is a devout Church of England believer; however, now that the UK has many nonChristian populace and as King of ALL, he is just inclusive in his speeches.
It’s not a traditional computer program. It’s simulating neurons and neural connections, similar to our own brain. Yes, the ‘training data’ can be ‘garbage in’, selective leftist nonsense (e.g. Googles AI). But considering the vast amounts of training data used I’ve been able to have very rational conversations (ChatGPT).
It’s ability to help with technical work is astonishing.
I’ve seen you’re a royalty admirer.
That’s ok but explains things.
Anyhow, the King appoints who is chosen by the party or coalition that gains a majority, yes.
But there’s no law says he has to.
Chuckie berated him for not doing it quietly enough.
I'm a "history nerd", have been one since I was a child, so I do know about the Royals of Europe, going back for centuries and in some cases MILLENNIA! Have I admired some of them? Yes, a few; however, assuredly NOT most of them! And I've always felt sorry for King Charles, because of how his parents treated him, especially his overbearing, martinet father.
The last time a UK Monarch scotched a duly elected P.M. was in 1834...and yes, I did look it up. So even Queen Victoria didn't do that and she was willful enough, even when she first became Queen, to do just that.
And I also have always been VERY interested in heads of state, in other nations, as well as American ones; which does NOT mean that I admire all of those, past and present, either!
So next time you feel the urge to assume something about another FReeper, keep it to yourself, because you really stink at it.
Starmer is the UK equivalent of Marshall Applewhite? https://www.heavensgate.com/misc/vt100596.htm
Feel free to “bugger off” to the UK, if it suits you so much.
Folks, some backround on the royal prerogative for anyone who’d be interested...

Info on what their Supreme Court did should clear up a few things.
Charles is a woke, weak man.
Nothing like his mother, the Great, Late Queen.
Who was strong and decisive.
