Maybe there is hope for Great Britain. Parliament has rejected the sell out that their prime minister had “negotiated” with the EU. Now she might face a vote of “no confidence.”
Most Americans don’t understand what that means so a little lesson in civics might be in order. In the American system people are elected for a set time and serve until the time is up unless there is an impeachment. Impeachment is a difficult hill to climb so most elected officials feel pretty safe from repercussions.
The parliamentary system is different. When elections are held the victors meet and they elect the chief executive. For them that is the prime minister. The political party that wins control of Parliament gets to choose the head dog. One of their checks and balances is that the person chosen must be approved by the monarch. They are elected but there is a curve ball in the mix. At any time new elections can be demanded by two methods that I know about. The first is that the members of Parliament can have a vote of “now confidence” in the prime minister. That means at least that there is a vote for a new prime minister. It might even mean all of Parliament faces a new election. The second method of cleansing the pool is that the monarch can send Parliament home and that forces new elections.
So this is not like the American congress passing a non-binding declaration that the president is not a nice person. This could cause a major shuffle in the British government.
Stay tuned.

I hope they DO ditch her. She's a NWO fan.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like she has been too open to compromise with the EU elites.
