I'm not a neo-Nazi. This wouldn't have been 'burning the system to the ground' it would have merely required purchase of private insurance, which would have removed a major attraction for migrants (free healthcare).

hey brits quick burger questions: Why were conservatives (Tories?) able to pick the new leader instead of Labour or UKIP? And is May serving the rest of Cameron's term or does she have a new term? Is she likely to win if she does well this term?
Zachary Gutierrez
>Why were conservatives (Tories?) able to pick the new leader instead of Labour or UKIP? Because they were the party in power, same thing happened a few years ago with Labour selecting Gordon Brown during Tony Blair's term.
>And is May serving the rest of Cameron's term or does she have a new term? Serving the rest of his.
>Is she likely to win if she does well this term? She's likely to win even if she does terribly, to be honest.
Camden Gutierrez
Make her something, it means more.
The USA has a mixed system and are still highly taxed. The idea is to reduce taxation across the board so that people can better afford insurance and Healthcare becomes more efficent and less wasteful.

Because the conservatives have the most MPs. We don't vote for the person like you guys do. We just vote for the house and then they essentially decide the PM.
She's serving the rest of his term, which isn't technically 'his' term.
If she called a GE tomorrow the conservatives would win by a landslide. If she waits til 2020, which is the latest she can wait, then she'd probably win but that's probably entirely dependent on 1. How brexit goes, 2. If Corbyn is still leader of Labour, 3. If Ukip get their shit together and 4. If the Scotts have got sick of the SNP
Jace Lopez
The US doesn't have an unswimmable moat and thousands of miles of white Europe between it and the browns.
It's not his or her term. This is how it works;
>the Tories won the most seats in the House of Commons in the 2015 election. >until the next election they get to form the government (as they control a majority of votes in the HoC). >the Tories internally choose a leader from among their number. >the leader chooses the cabinet (their 'team').
Cameron was PM because he was the leader of the Tories when they won a majority in the 2015 election. He wasn't voted for as PM, he was elected MP for Witney. The party chose him as leader many years before. So when Cameron resigned the Tories decided who would lead them until the 2020 election. May was chosen and she reorganised the cabinet according to her wishes.
It is possible that May could leave in the next 4 years and we will have a third PM before the next election. However this in unlikely as the Tories are essentially guaranteed victory in 2020.
Brandon Powell
>Is she likely to win if she does well this term?
Most likelyto whatever she does, the main opposition party (Labour) was taken over by a literal commie last year and people are still too cucked to elect a third party. Both main parties are pro-immigration, pro-globalism, etc. We're still rather shafted despite BREXIT.
Jonathan Robinson
Legally speaking, the PM dosent even have to be from the majority party. It's purely expected convention that it is.
Joshua Rivera
True, but not since WWI has the PM been from a party that wasn't the one with a majority.
Additionally there is the added complication of the House of Lords. Theoretically (although it was rather common in the 19th century and before) a lord can become PM, but nowadays they are usually restricted to cabinet posts.
(just for the yanks; the House of Lords is the other legislative house. Lords are unelected, and are appointed to lifetime lordships by the government)
Wyatt Kelly
How would this work? For example, the Tories get the majority of the seats, they name Corbyn as PM, yet be the party in power still?
Dylan Johnson
Usually it happened when a coalition was formed, and the smaller party provided the PM.
Hunter Fisher
Ahh that makes way more sense.
Brayden Lee
is that why Nige is talking about getting back in? I hope he doesn't come here, you guys need him more. And I don't think being an ambassador would be very influential.
huh this whole time I thought Cameron was Labour because he was remain. Also thought Blair was a Tory because he supported Bush. there goes that burger education
Henry Sullivan
Commons overrules lords
In theory, Government, The conservative party can suggest to the Queen that the PM should be Corbyn and he would be appointed by her.
Very unlikely it would every happen, but its a quirk of our constitution, Parliament could suggest a horse as PM if it felt like it because it is unwritten and Parliament is not bound by any laws.
Bentley Adams
Who?
Benjamin Cox
That's pretty interesting, and something you'd suspect they would've actually put down in writing by now. >PM must be human.
If you write something down like the US constitution, it becomes unflexible.
Our constitution is largely unwritten (statutes are written and some are constitutional) so as things change convention changes and we can adapt more efficiently. Things are still defined by precedent by certain authorities such as the Courts, but if it became the commonly held belief that people wanted Cats instead of people as MPs then the Constition would adapt over tome and the precedent would become that Cats can become MPs.

Its also worth noting that if they truly wanted a gun they could get it via breaking the law, as they clearly show an aptitude for doing by bricking your neighbour's windows and robbing their house.
Colton Morris
The old clingfilm-across-the-doorway trick, or clingfilf-over-the-toilet. Or just plain bleach ice cubes.
If we have a legal gun trade then the black market gun trade with have a greater and easier source of weapons.
I'd rather not have to worry about getting into a gun battle everytime I went to Asda and I would rather not have our Police force have the assumption I was armed if they had to pull me over for whatever reason.

How is this sort of vapid attempt at "patriotism" allowed to flourish, meanwhile actual measures designed to ensure the continuity of the English in their homeland are shouted down?
Answered my own question there. Focus on the medals rather than the important issues, citizen.
Joshua Lee
Nigel resigned too quickly, hes gone from being an outsider party leader to an outsider party member. He'd probably be in a better position to influence government policy as US or EU Ambassador, assuming Trump is swayed by him, than he is just by being the onlooker that he is now.
He deserved to get his life back but he must rather regret making that decision so quickly now. BREXIT is entirely in the hands of people that want us to stay in the EU and there is no serious electoral threat to those people in 2020.
Landon Cooper
Lords are Overruled by Commons. If MPs follow their constituents wishes then Lords can blow all the hot air they wish.
Jonathan Anderson
This would be a nice argument if there was any correlation between legal gun ownership and violent crime.
However there simply isn't one.
I do accept that there could be issues due to the Black market, however the Black Market Gun Trade already allows for people to acquire these weapons.
I'm also going to ask you why you feel that it is reasonable for you to ban something that could easily be owned for self defence, sport, or even just as a mantle piece because you assume people will use them to commit acts of violent crime? Does the idea of assuming guilt preemptively not bother you?
>BREXIT is entirely in the hands of people that want us to stay in the EU and there is no serious electoral threat to those people in 2020.

This is a curveball but could you possibly organize a threat to mass-vote labour if they don't enact article 50?

I'd also recommend reading "Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide? A Review of International and Some Domestic Evidence" written by Don. B Kates and Gary Mauser, published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy.
Although if you don't have time for a Journal piece then try taking a quick visit to gunfacts.info Its fairly comprehensive.

Chase Hall
>Is it that bad? I thought May respected the leave
No one really knows what May thinks, what we know for certain is that she's an opportunist. She kept out of the EU debate to put herself in position to become leader. That said she has a long track record of being pro-Islam, and immigration levels went up when she was home secretary.
Her personal views aside it's simple numbers, the majority of tory MPs want us to stay in, and so do the majority of MPs in parliament.
>This is a curveball but could you possibly organize a threat to mass-vote labour if they don't enact article 50?

Dominic Morris
The correlation (assuming you image is accurate) is poverty, poor nations have less roubust systems in place for enforcing the law. I would assume, but I've not confirmed, that spending on police is much high in US states with lax gun laws than for the United Kingom per capita.
Crime will always exist, and allowing criminals to better arm themselves forces law abiding citizens to do the same and such the escaltion of force is at a starting level several time higher than it would be normally.
The United States and the United Kingdom and two very different nations. I will admit I don't have the time or currently the will to read your link.
Gun Control in the United States is probably at this stage a fools errand as the market already exists and the weaponry would just move to the Black Market or through (currently) lax border controls.
Our status as an Island instsntly puts us at an advantage to controlling illegal imports. It limits the amount of people capable of smuggling fire arms into the nation and it also limits the points of entry. And with no widespread current market, the black market would struggle to meet any demand.
Therefore I see no reason to increase the starting level of the escaltion of force as Guns in this country are for the most part controlable.
Untill it becomes the norm for you to expect an assailant to be carrying a fire arm, gun laws should continue to be maintained.
I personally believe a large reason we havent seen an attack on the scale of France is that Weaponry is more easily smuggled into mainland Europe than pur Island Nation and to create a legal gun market would severely increase our risk to such attacks.

A President holds more power than our Queen.
They can Pardon criminals thus creating a binding law regardless of whether or not it is the will of the people.
Parliament, as the nations supreme law maker, cannot be bound by any laws and as such cannot bind any future Parliaments.
So in your quest to free yourself of Tyranny, you created a more Tyranical system than the one you "revolted" against.
