Creasing

>why can't teresa just use the whip to get it passed? or is that not a thing over there

The Tories don't have a majority in the House of Lords, so if she forces the issue Labour and the SNP will use the Lords to get back at her.

because the vast majority of the government are pro-EU

>House of Lords
whats this all about

...

my AR

Daily reminder that Cromwell was a hero and we should've listened to him

idiot.

wait what, they actually would reject legislation? if the senate did that here it'd be a fucking huge scandal

...

She can still Whip the Tory majority to push through Brexit, not enough would defy her for them to lose in the Commons

Celebrities, former politicians, wealthy friends of the government and 92 people who'sgreat grandparents were given titles by the monarch. They have jobs for life and can stop any legislation except those exclusively about tax.

Also to ensure the Queen's safe return when she visits parliament, they literally kidnap a Government whip and hold them hostage at Buckingham Palace until she gets back

Tell me more x

isn't the house of lords pretty irrelevant these days?

>puritan wiki page
>the puritans were
>were

They blocked the changes to benefits that George Osbourne was so hyped about

Since the government doesn't have a majority there, they actually have quite a lot of power. They just have to be low-key about it, or people will try and remove them.

That's their job, to review legislation and block or amend it if the self-serving MPs have got it wrong.

what a beautiful song

me on the left

That should be the Queens job. Someone that cares about the country and it's people not some old celebrities and shit

qt in a next door way

just got 90 cooking on the scape lads

speaking about the Queen, I wonder if she'll allude to brexit during her christmas address this year. that'd be nice

The country wouldn't be in the STATE it's in if we let the Queen act as an umpire to keep the government in check. People would also be less anti monarchy if the monarch actually did shit

>not enough would defy her for them to lose in the Commons

May is almost universally disliked in the house of commons though, even by her own cabinet.

A vote would come down to whether individual MPs decide to respect their constituents' result or not. And given that Brexit isn't in their best interests, I doubt they would hence no forceful action.

things are only irrelevant until you need them. the lords helps maintain the status quo and a stable nation for long time. they are not good or bad, just useful when necessary and a pain in the arse the rest of the time. low frequency high amplitude you might say.

>I'm a Catholic

fun fact: a hill with no one living on it used to be a constituency in england

sipping some redbull aka runt juice atm lads

A vote would come down to whether they want to get re-elected or not. No career politician is being made an Independent over something as silly as constituency opinion

girl like her on a machine please

>People would also be less anti monarchy if the monarch actually did shit
Don't think history would back you up on that one lad

>not this

post fucking machines

What a fun fact

dont have those here
id buy the razer edition for pro gamers in a heartbeat

we'd have rightly ditched the old bing decades ago if she actually did anything

hmm I thought they tried to remove a lot of their power since the criteria for being a lord is so obviously broken and the muh heritagefags couldn't bear reforming the system

amazing you lot still have so many unqualifieds in real government positions

Aisha is the best because she acknowledged us

Rosy is the worst because she knows we exist but is too much of a self obsessed whore that thinks she's too good to even acknowledge us and just loves the attention we give her

Sara is an angel so it's understandable she doesn't know about us mere mortals

It'll be alright lads

fun fact: m.youtube.com/watch?v=jG6JFrWjGTE

I'm more knowledgeable about british politics than most brits. I have studied the West Lothian question, the unreformed parliament, and the alleged links between Harold Wilson and the KGB, among many other diverse and wide ranging aspects of British politics.

why do brits call knickers pants?

You still obsessing over commiefus?

>monarchists
wtf is wrong with you all?

>Not loving the monarchy

Need a lord protector 2bqh to manage things

>so many unqualifieds
every mp who has less than 5 years under their belt? same in your country. the hereditary peers are a mixed bunch but many will have been brought up into the position, trained more heavily then 99% of MPs if they were the eldest son. Schooling, connections, jobs, everything would have been planned for the sons eventual acceptance into the lords, so in fact they are probably better trained than most except for the top tory MPs. But then what is training or qualification for poltics at that level really?

I thought it's presumed most MPs will represent their constituencies? especially as a lot of labor seats in the powerhouse had clear majorities and corbyn clearly isn't going to fight for remain

>more knowledgeable about british politics than most brits

not difficult

I will be making the straw poll for Brit Gimmick of the Year Awards 2016 on the 10th December ready for 5 days of voting where the results will be revealed on the 15th December

>I thought it's presumed most MPs will represent their constituencies?
constituents yes, all constituencies will have a mixed set of opinions so MPs will represent each as individuals or talk on behalf of organisations there (but not represent them, voters get represented not bodies of voters). every voter gets to be represented regardless of their opinion, not the same for organisations.

Fuck off you utter freshcunt

drinking til i get distracted from existential depression lads

Too intelligent for x

Kiwis are VERY rude today, might have to fly over there and teach them to respect their superiors

frogs can hold the banners

fair I don't really know how the upper house works for you guys, afaik here it's proportionate to overall votes whereas you guys have an emphasis on hereditary peerships + having church of england members which seems mind-boggling in the current year

That's not a /brit/ gimmick

Leave the kiwis alone m8 they're just a bit shaken up is all.

At least fly Air NZ
please support our airline

DID enjoy the tim gimmick.

bollocksmashing

kiwis are based

unfunny

so when Drumpf gets in power I hope you all know that means we're going to be drafted for war with russia

Lizzie would make a great autocrat tbqh but eventually one of her successors would be shit and sour the idea of absolute monarchy

You have to treat them with an iron fist, violence is the only language a runt can understand

Yes it is

Hi, sissy britbois.

GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THINGS WE NEVER HAD

might've began by mocking them, they're that full of themselves

most of /brit/ come from Sup Forums

nazi jannies drove us out

well traditionally it meant the aristocracy, religion and people who earned their way in (generals, admirals, governors of foriegn lands, successful politicians,etc) gave a fairly good though very unbalanced reflection of the power groups not the people, for which the commons parliament was in place. Its not the worst idea to have 2 bodies in this way, but it is diifcult to keep it changing with the times.

ah yes, no gf, i am perfectly capable of remaining sober today

Getting really sick of a ps4 update every fucking day

Dozen new matches on tinder today but I can't be arsed to message any of them
