maryportfuncity 10,651 Posted January 18 3 minutes ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: Letters of no confidence in Rishi went in yesterday Aye, been wonderin' myself if they'll accidentally hit the tipping point. I'm thinking the whips will be so keen to monitor the numbers here. Whatever the divisions in the party they'll want to avoid accidentally stumbling into a no confidence vote because if they depose Sunak the newbie wouldn't be able to speak in the Commons without being howled down by demands for an immediate election. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted January 18 As much as he seems to be holding on for as long as he can. I think if they think there's a danger of the threshold being reached he'll go to the Palace (Unlikely but wonder what would happen if it was while Charles was in Hospital. Although I don't think a long stay is anticipated) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is always someone to deal with matters if the monarch is absent or unable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 18 Can somebody explain why Sunak is telling the House of Lords they can’t scrutinise his Bill because they aren’t elected? Surely if he has an issue with the Lords rejecting Bills he need to set out his proposals for an elected chamber… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention that he will go down in history as one of the unelected PMs. My point is you can’t keep a parliamentary chamber as an ornament. You either let it get on with what it’s supposed to do or you change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilham 757 Posted January 21 They really need to do ranked-choice voting for primaries. A lot of people in NH have already voted as they received their ballots in the mail a month ago and they're due by this Tuesday. Currently, the temperature in Boston is 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit, so I know NH has it worse. I'm only going outside when necessary. Back in 2020, I think like 10 people dropped out between the time I got my ballot and Super Tuesday, so I waited to vote 6am the day of. This was when covid started rolling into America; state of emergency was called in our state a week later. I would have preferred to vote from home but I didn't want a wasted primary vote. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
