Read and understand that garbled crap and you’ll know THAT and not religion is the reason for the Pilgrims fleeing the country.
I hope they dump the EU and all their over-regulating, Marxist control freaks.
So did the EU give them an extension? I thought that was the way out. EU has to agree to it as well. And who from britain is going to ask the EU? Does Boris get to give a half asked, let us extend 3 months?
I don’t think Johnson’s strategy will involve forcing the Queen to publicly give up her ostensible political neutrality and not gave Assent.
As I understand this law forcing him to seek an Article 50 extension will also now be taken to court. With a prorogued Parliament coming, he will simply allow the clock to run out.
Corbyn has indeed effectively given a vote of confidence in the Johnson Government by not wanting an election, which is simply bizarre. Johnson should emphasize this.
assent means consent?
The Queen is very aware that THE PEOPLE voted to leave Brexit. She will veto the extension.
During all the Brexit drama, has the EU dialed back their passion for micromanagement to any extent?
Not that I have seen.
If anything, they have become more arrogant.
Amen, lewislynn. I’m extremely interested in this topic, but gave up trying to understand what’s going on about ten days ago
Huh?
The Queen has veto power so the Pilgrims fled. Hmmm.
An absolutely wonderful chess game.
Problem is, Johnson kind of reminds me of Glenn Beck. Hope I’m wrong.
If a bill requires a PM to take a positive action, and Boris refuses to act, then what will they do?
I don't follow UK politics very closely, and we are now really into the weeds of the unwritten UK Constitution. But my overall view is - remainers in the UK are a spineless and craven bunch, much like America's own careerist, statist politicians and DC bureaucrats. They like the status quo, because it gives them social-standing and a good living, but have no clear principles or guiding philosophy, and certainly no guts to stand up for anything.
So Johnson will run out the clock. He will act and thus be responsible, whether for success or for failure. Remainers will simply whine, but do nothing.
I am extremely interested in what happens Oct. 31. Whatever happens will likely set off a chain reaction of huge consequences in Europe and across the world.
Johnson has been a bit of a flip-flopper on conservative issues, and even Brexit previously. If anyone has been principled and utterly consistent in aligning his philosophy and actions, it has been Nigel Farage.
But I'm hopeful for Johnson regarding Brexit. He's truly a student of history, particularly in classical antiquity. He understands this is a truly pivotal time in his nation's history that calls for a Pericles or Scipio - and he craves that kind of historical fame.
Yes. The impression I got from the wording was that the EU isn't going to sign onto the game of the Remainers who were demanding another vote suddenly blocking that vote. Whether the Queen actually assents, and she hasn't yet, may turn out to be irrelevant.
Brain damage is more like it in the real world.
